It pains me to write this as I was planning to
complete the McQueen archive before posting anything unrelated, but thanks to
the existence of articles like this , this and this, I feel
inclined (perhaps obliged?) to weigh in on the age-old debate – how can we
dress to attract men? We may all claim that we ‘dress for ourselves’ but the
fact that articles like this are still being published and widely-read (in both
men’s and women’s magazines) insinuate that a certain breed of woman still looks
to these articles in order to establish a list ‘of do’s and don’ts’ when it
comes to choosing her everyday wardrobe; a woman that apparently uses her sartorial
choices as a method of seduction. Then there is another breed that reads these
articles; the cynic. People who, like me, consider more than romance when
choosing an outfit and who would ultimately rather eat their own vomit then
date a man that would openly admit that he would dump you for wearing anything
too revealing or ‘fashion-conscious’.
