Male Bytes: Female Fashion from a Man's Perspective - Josh Highlander Byting Katie Lee Joel, Uma Thurman, Diane Kruger and Gabrielle Union

Male_bytes_josh_highlanders_perspec

Oh this is such a grand and entertaining category! Sooooo, twice monthly, I plan to ask a male friend/colleague his opinion on a trio of fashionable celeb and model ensembles. What the men reply with, will hopefully, REALLY surprise us all! Not that I think women should dress for men OR even for other women, but we all do it every once in a while...so this will likely lend insight into what impresses different men!


Men and women do think VERY differently as far as fashion goes...I'm surprised and a wee-bit amused at the comments relayed by today's guest, "Byter" - Josh Highlander. A good opinionated man is what makes this category come alive with color and jargon that is VERY new to this fashionista's ears! I'm eating this up and loving every second of it...dare I say we try to 'dress to impress' yet, it seems, the simplest ensembles are what catch the gentleman's eyes. Read on...


I asked Josh to breeze through four different pictures of the featured starlets and tell me what he thought about the looks on Katie Lee Joel, Uma Thurman, Diane Kruger and Gabrielle Union. Here's precisely, word for word, what I heard back from him, below:


Katie Lee Joel - "The shirt looks like a 17th century circus clown. I don't like ankle boots, is it a high heel or a boot? Just pick one. The accessories do seem to go well with this outfit. The skirt, however, looks like a server's attire at a high-end restaurant."


Uma Thurman - "Once again, the shirt has that colonial clown look! Looks like she has a drape around her neck. The jacket looks good, but only on tall people. The pants are cool but the belt is too small for the belt loops. The outfit would look better with heels or tall boots and the watch is cool."


Diane Kruger - "It looks like there's something going on in the back...is it for storage or something? I like the way the neckline looks and the skirt looks like a nice length for a professional working woman. The shoe looks like a fish hook! Her feet have got to be deformed to fit in those shoes..."


Gabrielle Union - "This look is hot! The belt accentuates her slender waist (I heard that on TLC's "What Not to Wear"). I think the shoulders look a little wide. I like the strap around the ankle on the shoes. The bag seems small and useless. My wife would look best in this outfit."


So there you have it, again! Incredible fashion insight from the male mind...intriguing as usual. What a man likes to see a woman wearing is possibly VERY different than the fashions we LOVE! I must just point out that even though Josh doesn't like the "idea" of a belt being too small for the pant-loops....SKINNY BELTS are muy caliente, so don't let that deter! Thanks for that, Josh...you were a wonderful contributor...very informative for sure! Enjoy!
