The last one looks like it belongs on a Russian mobster talking on his Nokia in Brighton Beach. I personally can't stand jewelry on men. If you ask me, the only jewelry a man should be allowed to wear is watch, wedding ring, cufflinks, fraternity pin. The ex boyfriend had this tacky gold chain that his mom got him one year (that should have been the first sign that the relationship wasn't going to work out) that try as hard as I could, I couldn't persuade him to take it off.

I thought the same thing. :p I bearly buy Jewelery anyway... I'd rather have designer purses and shoes. I lose jewelry all the time, and I get more use out of purses and shoes.
Although I do own Tiffany's silver AND I still wear it, just not the bracelet and necklace together.

I like jewelry on men. Of course not the type that "looks like it belongs on a Russian mobster talking on his Nokia in Brighton Beach", but something like small hoop earrings and certain types of body piercing is ok. I find nipple piercing on men hot. :o

I think it could probably also work on an NJ Guido. ;)

Au contraire, I went to school with a bunch of coasties who were big fans of njguido.com.

Holy crap, that's all some gaudy-ass jewelry -- and I LIKE big, crazy stuff. But that's just wrong.

Of course not. But then, I don't wear any piece of jewelry every day.

Seriously......you picked out a few things out of a huge selection to base you claims. You are being ridiculous. The cuff links you picked.....there are quite a few different pairs to choose from. I have a cuff link set from Yurman and stud set that look nothing like those, aren't flashy, and are very casual. Honestly though, with the right suit and color combination those would probobly go just fine. The cross?? It is extremely tiny. I didn't even know it was for men. My sister had one when she was mabe 6 or 7. Explain to me what is wrong with a tiny silver cross. If you are a guy wearing most of that jewelry besides cuff links.....chances are you are a flaming homosexual anyways. The only think I would buy from Yurman for myself would be their cufflinks or watches. I like the watches quite a bit along with some from Cartier.

Heres a hideous pair of flamboyant pants from Brooks Brothers. Better stop wearing their clothes because of them.

Wow.

I believe those pants belong in the "what is a poser?" thread.

macallan25 01-11-2007 08:11 PM

Exactly, or maybe "throw yourself in a fire if you wear this" thread.

Again, they are disgusting. Brooks Brothers as a whole though (among others) is about as classy and quality as you can get for men's clothing.

I think those pants would look quite dapper at a Packer game.

This is funny on very many levels.

So what you are saying is that you will buy them for me? ;)

I don't think Tiffany has anything to worry about.Anyone who's been in a Tiffany store knows that silver is only a small part of its collection, and if you haven't been in a Tiffany store, well, you're probably not in its target market anyway.

If I was LV, I would be worried. Girls in middle school carrying an adult purse, just because "everyone has one!"? That's very anti-luxury, and therefore hurts the LV brand. Why does it matter more for LV than Tiffany? Because the bulk of LV's bags and luggage are "signature" bags...there just isn't variety like at Tiffany. I just bought a beautiful, more expensive Marc Jacobs bag because I would never pay $1,000 for a bag that everyone else has. Coach can get away with it because Coach is only marginally "designer"...most of its bags are in the $275-$400 range. I have several Coach bags, but I carry them because they're classic and professional, not to show off. It is not as much of a status symbol as a LV bag is supposed to be. But now LV is no longer a status symbol...everyone has one, or a knockoff that most people probably think is a real one. The LV store on Rodeo Drive sees a ridiculous amount of foot traffic.

You said what I was thinking. :p
