How to Dress So Basic Bros Leave You Alone
New York Magazine ^ | KAT STOEFFEL

Posted on 01/09/2014 7:05:12 PM PST by nickcarraway

It’s hard for a woman to know what exactly to wear to deflect unwanted attention from men. Man Repeller Leandra Medine's pioneering attempts didn’t exactly take. Luckily, Huffington Post editors have asked the male fashion geniuses in their lives to complete the sentence “I hate when women wear…” According to their survey, men hate when women wear beanies, floppy hats, hair bows, open-side shirts, oversize sweaters, shoulder pads, peplums, bandeau bikinis (“they just make your shoulders look like a linebacker”), bright lipstick, heavy eye makeup, fake nails, bangles, pointy-toed shoes, wedge sneakers, ultra-high heels, fold-over ankle boots (“it looks like the shoes have), high-waisted jeans, high-waisted shorts, high-waisted skirts (“it lacks a certain degree of subtlety”), pantsuits (“you’re a woman, not a man”), drop-crotch pants (“really, any loose fitting pants,) and mullet dresses (“I just don't get it — where's the party? You are covering the back!"). The question is how to wear all of these things at once.

Yup!

Those 1950's Era Cheerleader Outfits are Less Revealing and Yet More Sexy than anything Cyrus has done.

Hmmm....It's Almost like that if a Culture Demands Standards for it's Women (and men!) we don't get that Crap.

lol As opposed to some kind of Super or Enhanced Bros or sumthin? Most of the stuff on that list makes me glad to be older, except the oversized sweaters. With leggings, they can’t be beat for comfort.

Yikes, the pics on this thread.

Ok men. I see a lot of articles picking on women. Where is the thread on dumb things men wear? They don’t like stomachs, and I agree btw, but have many of you looked in the mirror lately? LOL Just sayin’.

A peplum is a little ruffle on the bottom edge of a short jacket that stops at the waist. It may stick out a little, especially at the back. The fashion comes and goes, but most people think that a woman who is wearing a dress or suit that has a peplum waist is trying to look nice and sort of dressed up.

A bandeau top on a bikini is one that goes straight across the breasts and around the chest without straps to hold it up. It’s not sewn into a particular shape; the breasts give it its shape. My experience is that a majority of men don’t object to seeing an attractive woman wearing one of these. At all.

That girl has her mother’s legs. Not necessarily a good thing.

I found that long-distance running and cycling is a good way to get and keep decent looking calves. Let’s move!

Trebek referred to it as “she”, which is the only way I knew for sure.

Sounds like a tube top to me. Guys don’t like those? Who knew.
