Gaydrobe Item #3: The Color

A little history lesson.

During World War II, Nazi concentration camps inmates used to wear all kind of badges used to identify their felony.
Homosexuality was illegal, of course, and gay men were considered as sexual offenders.
Their marking? A downward pink triangle.

But pink is also associated with women, and we all are familiar with the stereotypes.
Hot pink is also the color of sexuality.

Moreover, a man wearing a pink shirt or polo is super sexy and we all know sexiness is associated with gay men (Duh?).
If you've got a nice tan, don't hesitate to wear the pinkest gayest shirt you find in your wardrobe!

It is true that a man is not seen as gay if he wears a pink shirt these days, but it was interesting to find out all about the pink triangle.
I love the fact that it became a symbol of gay pride and gay right movement even if it was intended to undermine out community.
Does it show that what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger?

Gaydrobe Item #2: The Pants

I've never really liked skinny jeans on men. 
I always associated them with those weird people lurking in front of every mall with gravity-defying haircuts. (I'm not really sure all of them were men...)


Slim pants have never been exclusively for women.
They were originally linked to rock and roll and "bad boys".

Elvis, the bad boy 'par excellence'.

So skinny jeans have been popular unisex pants until baggy and large jeans started to replace them. Women still wore their slim-fit jeans though, and that is how they became a specifically female fashion.

So it is only then that skinny jeans started being associated with gay people.
A nice ass or a hot pair of legs were a woman's features.
That is why when celebrities started to appear with these slim jeans, people found that quite shocking. But since, designers are more and more promoting this kind of fashion.

People might say that men are embracing their feminine side, that the lines between men are women are blurred.
I say that men just don't care anymore about what people think.
They just wear whatever they think is comfortable and trendy.
 

Gaydrobe Item #1: The Shirt

V-neck shirts are the sexiest thing ever.
Unfortunately, I rarely see guys wearing these.
Why?

The thing is, V-neck shirts are stylish. And men are not supposed to be stylish. Oh no!
Real men wear suits and nothing else!
Gay men, on the other hand, are stylish.
Therefore, V-neck shirts are gay.

Makes sense doesn't it?
Well no this is completely stubborn.
If being sexy is gay now I'm afraid to the human race lost all its chance of procreating.

Another thing I've noticed is that French guys have this thing with V-necks. It's like their national shirt or something.
And I find this totally hot.
I mean, an accent and a V-neck. Too much for me.

Anyway, for all those straight guys out these, go shopping now and wear those V-necks with pride! Cause those shirts will bring all the girls (and boys) to the yard.
