On Fashion: Male attire (finally) arrives in the 21st Century

Men's suits have long failed to provide invention. The adage that one can simply arrange the (very few) pieced jigsaw together and it's all done has proven true--until recently. Take these few examples:

#1- That guy from those coffee adverts has gone for the 'two shirt-buttons open' look combined with the bursting beard one would normally see on an itinerant folk singer, or perhaps a manchild with the hormones of a Jamaican youth sprinter:




#2- Then there's the sheen-coated, different coloured collar that this staid-dressed Birmingham bar manager has chosen. Note the bored face that bespeaks of a man dissatisfied with his suit:




#3- This haggard old man from--we think--Steptoe and Son has gone for the 50s nostalgia look, sadly it's pretty terrible:




#4- However, a few years past a half-man/ half-leprechaun hinted at the future. Many laughed at this goblin-man's choice of clothing. They guffawed as how this humanoid parodied our boring suits so well, how this comedy genius hit the zeitgeist. Little did they know that he was the harbinger of the future:




#5- Holy Piss-Fuck! We said when this under-21s Angolan football star emerged for training during the on-going 2010 African Cup of Nations. With a blazer the colour of a rich Bordeaux and 3 day-old bruises; lapels so thin and straight kept so with inset 30cm rulers; a pair of trousers high enough to tickle his nipples thus ensuring (beneath the jacket) they are always fiercely erect to denote heightened masculinity:



So, here be the future men of the world. Be aware. You heard it here first.
