That Ensemble is Ten Kinds of Wrong for ANY Gender

fashion fail - Manliness

Submitted by: Unknown

Oh, silly. You can’t achieve manliness by reading a book. You achieve it by doing everything in your power to look more like Jon Hamm.

Now get to work on that, everyone.

    LOL is that guy preggers?

  2. Laura says:

    I kind of like his outfit.

    Also, I respect any guy who has the balls to go out in public dressed like that. In my opinion, they are far braver than any football player.

    Oh, silly. You can’t achieve manliness by reading a book. You achieve it by doing everything in your power to look more like Jon Hamm Don Draper.

    FTFY.

  4. novacaine says:

    I would totally wear that.
    (I’m a girl btw.)

  5. D1RGE.EXE says:

    Yeah. Hot pink and fishnets are SO manly. Here’s to hoping he has to explain this to his kids in 15 years.

  6. Anon says:

    Only me that finds him quite attractive? yes? ok then.

    • Interrobang says:

      No.

      But some of my best friends are boys in dresses. And I’m a girl in really butch shoes. Now if I can only convince my boyfriend to wear a kilt with those Doc Martens of his, I could die happy. Or at least kinky.

      PS to the transphobes/homophobes on this thread, you can cross-dress and be straight, idiots.

    • Annie Benson says:

      No, I’m with you on that. Strip him out of that outfit and his make-up (he is wearing pink eyeshadow, right?), put him blue jeans and a nice shirt, and we’re talking a solid 9.

      I’m hoping that he’s dressed up for halloween or lost a bet or something.

      • A Random Pooka says:

        So am I, if only because it looks like something WAY too pink exploded all over him. The outfit would be FAR less atrocious in any other color, but hot pink and black makes me go ‘ick’.

        I’m a guy, BTW, and am just fine with guys dressing in drag, dressing in drag myself, or even playing football and having fistfights over stupid drunken arguments. There’s no reason there can’t be a happy medium in there somewhere where everyone can be as tough and pretty as they would like!

    • Flemming says:

      No. Me too. And what’s fascinating is that apparantly he is not wearing any make-up but he is still…….breathtaking!
      I wanna meet this guy!

    • the raven says:

      oh, good. i thought i was the only one. @__@ the outfit does need work, but i love me a pretty boy in a dress.

    • Julzey says:

      Oh yes, he’s a cutie. And it’s obvious that the picture was staged, which means he has an awesome sense of humor… bonus!

      Now, where can I find the contact info for my future husband?

    • Lol. says:

      I’d hit it.

    • the_strange_cat says:

      Dude, it is by no means just you. Guys in drag (many of them) are friggin’ sexy!

  7. Curtis says:

    His hair seems to be better than many women’s.

  8. Anna Rexia says:

    I. WANT. those. boots.

  9. -Grey- says:

    trim the eye brows and some good eye liner, he can pass for a good drag queen.

  10. Jessica says:

    I would wear that. And he doesn’t look bad.

  11. OMGShoes says:

    …I have those shoes….

  12. rose says:

    i.want.those.boots!

  13. rose says:

    and it’s black fishnets over pink tights, double the ball-squeeze!

  14. nic says:

    Given the book he is reading I am thinking he lost a bet. No self respecting tranny would pick up that book!

  15. Ayla says:

    Needs heels, the Docs drag it down.

  16. Steve says:

    Professor Snape? Is that you?

  17. Awesomebob says:

    I don’t see how this is “poorly dressed”? What he’s wearing is tasteful and matches. Nothing poor about it. Such an uphill battle these folks have to fight, just to have comic sites like this continue to kick them down.

  18. jandunne says:

    I have no problem with you dressing like this. But at least, hie thee to a gym and get rid of the spare tire around your middle!

  19. eeyore the red says:

    He’d look fine if he shaved and if the dress fit better.

    • Anna Rexia says:

      I dunno. Men just don’t have that same glow when they’re pregnant.

    • Razi says:

      Hmm…well the dress isn’t quite my style, but I agree about the ‘fit better’ part. Not the shaving though, unless he really is a trans. I think he’s hot regardless, just needs to work out a little more. His. Hair. Rocks.

  20. hysterika says:

    I love this outfit!! I would rock the sh*t out of this!! And I totally admire any guy who has the balls to wear fishnets. And no…balls and fishnet do not contradict each other. Hello…paging Dr Frank N Furter…

  21. WTF says:

    Steve-ZOMG it DOES look like Snape!

    I want those boots…

    Anyone agree with me that this should be put on Friends of Irony?

  22. Peter says:

    I didn’t know there WAS such a thing as hot pink Doc Martens. You learn something every day, if you’re not careful.

  23. brian says:

    It was Halloween, people….I was supposed to be a punk. Found that book in B&N and thought it would make for a funny picture.

    For the record, however, I am a transvestite; most of my ensembles, however, are a wee bit more tasteful than this.

  24. 1Lastcall says:

    Fabulous. All kinds of fabulous. Guy has a great sense of humor and fashion sense to boot (sorry – bad pun, but I had to.) I admire and respect those who choose to walk their path with their head held high. Rock on, Mister.

  25. Nick says:

    I Call PHOTOSHOP!
    Head looks wrong for the body,
    book looks odd where it meets the hands

    • Ideagirl says:

      *Bzzzt* And you’re wrong. Brian’s a friend of mine (words cannot express my surprise when I cruised over for my daily peek at Poorly Dressed and saw A FRIEND OF MINE on it), and he just posted here. I saw that picture long before it appeared here. It’s real indeed.

  26. Kristin says:

    I was waiting for the day when I saw someone I knew! That guy actually works at that bookstore!

  27. Paula says:

    seriously, those hot pink patent Doc Marten’s are to die for!

  28. Claire says:

    I *love* this picture. Awesome person challenging traditional gender categories is very cute and obviously has a cheeky sense of humour. It makes me smile. Yay :D

  29. Cece says:

    DO WANT… those bright pink Doc Martens.

  30. Jangle says:

    Is it just me, or does he look like Joe Jonas???

  31. anon says:

    LOL
    Really Kristin?
    I could’ve sworn Brian works at a library, not Barne’s & Noble.

    Stop making things up.

  32. fashionpolicewut says:

    Matching and coordination aren’t all there is to a decent outfit. Yes, pink and pink and black and black match. That doesn’t make this a good outfit. If you’re going to go with such a conservative cut on that dress, lose the undershirt, lose the stockings (both sets), and change the shoes to something that doesn’t cut off at the ankles (the dress falls too low for him to start sacrificing the length of his legs).

    A nice belt across the waist wouldn’t look half bad either.

    AWESOME SHOES *~*
    GUY IN A DRESS *~~~~~*
    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ~<3

  35. Bud says:

    If it makes you happy,then by all means go for it,personally I would’ve gone with Dallas Heights or Wedges L O L……………

  36. Velouria says:

    Oh those pink dr. Martens are so nice. And the tights are perfect with them. Kudos to this guy!

  37. Kendra says:

    Yeah he should probably just buy that book and read it….alot.

  38. Jabraille says:

    This is either “making fun of [either cross-dressing or homophobia]” or “lost a bet”. I really can’t imagine any other explanation for the combination of ensemble and book.

  39. Molly says:

    Anyone dressed like this is welcome to stop by my place and share a bottle with me anytime. I don’t care what their genitals look like or which box they prefer to check on their driver’s license. Layered fishnets and Doc Martens are always a winning combination in the world I live in.

  40. VVVjj6544 says:

    I Looks Like Joe Jonas :{ Shutter 100 times

  41. Kaja says:

    I actually have both the shoes and the tights………:P

  42. brian says:

    Okay….here goes:

    I use Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioner (daily use, for normal hair) and, other than a ninety-mile roundtrip to Salon Ecco in Costa Mesa every couple of months, I don’t really do anything for The Hair; it pretty much looks after itself.

    I do *not* work in that bookstore, but I do work at the Library a couple of blocks away….where you can occasionally see me wearing those pink boots along with a dress (worn as a tunic with trousers).

    Speaking of the pink boots, I got them from OnlineShoes.com. They’re nice, sure enough, but what you *really* want are a pair of bikini pink Serena Doc Martens from Zappos; the Serenas are suede and fleece-lined….it’s like wearing two hugs from the Baby Jesus.

    Speaking of babies….sorry about the baby bump. Nobody has ever accused me of being portly before; the leather dress is probably one size too small for me, but the bump probably owes more to bad posture than an ill-fitting frock.

    I was wearing some makeup that night, but it was very light. I know I need to do something about the eyebrows and the five o’clock shadow; I can never get a decent razor.

    Whilst we were having a snack at the food court that night, a rather large, scary-looking gentleman looked over at me from his table and shouted: “You’re *bold*, man!” Which was nice.

    Anything else? Oh yes, I’m Irish. So, in addition to the great hair, the fantastic sense of humour and the ability to look great in boy clothes *and* girl clothes, I also have an accent.

    The bad news? Sorry, ladies; I’m taken :)

  43. egarl says:

    This is clearly staged. Disqualified.

  44. Mappleconfusers says:

    Cute

  45. Jesse says:

    He has really pretty hair. :3 I’m jealous.

  46. Anadine says:

    Scary thing is, I saw that guy once. Worst damned dream ever.

  47. Jack says:

    It could be the actor who plays “Figwit” in Lord of the Rings, but that doesn’t explain why he’s in drag
