Do brothers look good in...

[mccoyred]

I know there are exceptions BUT noone like a brother can display an MILITARY UNIFORM or a SUIT w/ quite the same style. I mean, even an average brother can make a suit sing and a uniform whistle. ummm ummm ummm

Burn those shiny shirts my brothas!

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know about any of you, but I have yet to see a brotha with pretty feet. Please if you are gonna do the sandals, please don't purchase the ones with the toes hanging out!!

Since this topic came up, I had to share this definate NO NO with everyone...

Last Sunday at church, a man showed up in a burnt orange shiny sateen (sp?) suit on. the collar was a little darker than the rest of the suit. Brother also had on some darker burnt orange Gators!!

I saw a brother jogging with a rainbow sweat band- yuck.
I saw a brother with a long tail in the back-not even at the nape of his neck, this tail came out of the middle back of his head- I wanted to cut it soo bad.
I hate shags, tails, and though I've seen some good lookin brothers with dreads and braids I like a clean shaven- FOI kinda brother.

I am not feeling the Fat Albert Gear. Who in the Hell came up with that. The worst is to see a fat man wearing it...he makes himself a walking target

Any guy that still wear one leg up & one leg down....PLAYED OUT.

BUT THE WORST...THE VERY VERY VERY WORST...I mean this is bad this should be one of the 10 Commandments & #1 at that...is a man that wear colored contacts....this is the absolute worst.

I met the finest brotha on the face of the earth and I was really feeling him until one day he showed up wearing colored contacts. I was so embarassed to be seen with him but most of all I was embarassed for him.

Long fingernails - yuck!!! that creeps me out.

Men who wear:

those NASTY Coogi sweaters that I thought MUST have gone out of style when Biggie died

sunglasses with any gold ornamentation on them- tacky

MEN WITH MULLETS! I WENT DOWN SOUTH AND I SAW BLACK MEN WITH MULLETS! And them thangs had ta be on purpose, not like they forgot to get a haircut. I spent the whole time staring, and on the inside I was yelling "CUT YA MULLET SON! CUT IT"

Men with perms. I don't care how long and thick the hair is, I don't like it. WOMEN have long hair, not men.

None of these dudes can ever get any play!

Okay, and that's all of it. Honest, lol.

I totally agree with you on this on!!!

Okay, my ultimate pet peeve are men who wear biking shorts. It just looks so disgusting to me. I realize that men have to keep their stuff tight while bike riding, but PLEASE, I repeat, PPLLEEAASSEE wear some shorts on top of them. I don't need to see every "inch" of you.

Okay, yall gone get me fired! hooked and crooked I am ova here ROTFLMAO tears runnin down my eyes. Somebody hand me a tissue!


I can't stand to see a brotha in
1) a dress shirt with no t-shirt underneath or who's wearing a t-shirt that you can see has writing on it under the dress shirt!
2) suits that are burgundy, gold, orange, yellow, purple, teal-rainbow suited brothas
3) men with long azz finger nails-eeeeoooowww
especially the pinky!
4) dirty or frayed cuffs on a dress shirt
5) turned ova shoes
and the one I absolutely loathe
6)G-STRING OR BIKINI BRIEF SWIMWEAR--I just really don't wanna know that much about your boys while I'm at the beach

I total agree with you ladies!! Overalls on men should be left in the 80's unless you work on a farm, and even then it's not totally acceptable. Sandals are ok, as long as it does not show too much foot . I absolutely hate when men try to rock those superfly, pimpdaddy suits (in aqua, green, yellow) and top it off with a hat. It has always been tacky and always will. Coogie sweaters,why?? I was in the mall the other day and saw a guy in the whole suit (long-sleeve top, bottom and hat), hello it's august!!!

LI84, don't hate on the Coogis; I used to work at a department store in '93 and those sweaters were selling for $295 each. Every time I sold one, I knew my commission was secured.

Oh, you're gonna hate me, cause I got a perm AND a mini-mullet--AND LOVING IT!! I'm trying to have my hair grow long enough so that I can have it slicked on the front and sides and a mullet in the back that touches the collar (kinda like Gene Rayburn's hair circa 1975). Oh, that will be lookin' TIGHT!

BTW, in Biblical times, long hair on a man was a symbol of masculinity (case in point: Samson).

Question for you all: I tend to wear the following; what do you think of this:

Button-down shirts with khakis or cotton slacks.

SWEATER VESTS (I LOVE sweater vests); I wear button-down vests if I am wearing a tie and pullover V-necks if I am wearing an open collar. In summer I wear them over golf shirts or T-shirts, even with shorts so I can have the Doug Funnie look.

Shoes: plain black Oxfords or casual brown patent leather or suede. If I am wearing khaki colored slacks, I wear the burgundy dress shoes w/tassels.

Suits: mostly single breasted, but I do have some double-breasted in black and gray

Shirts: oxford mostly, but I love wearing rounded collar shirts with a tie bar.

As you can tell, I dress rather plain, but I like it

Oh, and I wear honey-hazel contacts--though folx say I look like I am possessed--I always tell them that I am about to "Hulk-out"
