Billie Joe Armstrong Smashes the Binary.

What do you mean we walked around dressed like girls? We walked around in our own clothes; they just happened to be dresses.
Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day)

Johnny Weir smashes the binary.


I love Johnny Weir. Although he has gotten a lot of flack over the years for his style and for his bold personality, he is unapologetic. He dresses how he wants to, no matter who says otherwise. He wears his clothes with confidence and ultimately looks good in them. He's not afraid to wear leggings, heels, or any other clothes that some identify with the other side of the spectrum. Johnny: Keep doing what you're doing. You are an inspiration.

I especially love how wears a sarong type thing with leggings and heels in the second photo. It's very beautiful.

switching our expectations


click through for full size

what is so wrong with men in more feminine clothing? what is so wrong with a woman in more masculine clothing. i love these photos. i think they perfectly show my opinion on fashion. in both photos the two people look fashionable and stunning. there is nothing wrong about the clothes they are wearing. in fact in some cases the "non-normal" outfit looks better on them than the "normal" clothes. i appreciate the effort to switch our expectations in these photos. i only hope that our society will learn from this one day and smash the binaries of gendered clothing.

again. these photos are awesome.

h&m skirts for men



i'm wanting to try this out this next season. i've read a lot of mixed opinions about these skirts, but i for one am a fan. i love the look with the leggings too. i really enjoy the look of the leggings under this skirt. hopefully it will encourage more men to start showing off their legs, because we have legs too!

in many ways this is similar to the new trend in men's fashion to bring back and reclaim the kilt making it more modern. i'm for it. i also really love the tights/leggings he is wearing underneath the skirt. i really hope this catches on here in the united states. i would love to get rid of some of my bifurcation (pants) and open up the new world of skirts and kilts.

men wearing heels


i think this needs to catch on and become more main stream fashion. because lets face it: heels are just sexy. besides why not? they look good. let's smash the binaries of fashion, remove the gendered labels from our clothes and shoes and free our sense of fashion.
