On the runway these past few weeks when Menswear (2010) was unveiled on these shores, in Milan - and even in Copenhagen - it was quite evident that the male animal will be breaking free from the fashion shackles that once held him back.
Indeed, bold ballsy dudes will be strutting their plumage - and showing off a manly portion of buffed flesh - signalling a turning point in the male style psyche.
In fact, a well-muscled torso appears to be a fashion accessory - not to be coyly played beek-a-boo with - but stridently shown-off with unique individualized ensembles that underscore his style and panache.
Some studs will go for the muscle shirt and jeans (or tailored dress slacks) with a distinctive macho appeal.
The "look" (for the most part) will feature pristine whites - and a myriad of muted shades - or delicious offerings with monochromatic themes.
For the adventurous guy, knee-length shorts may be paired with elegant dress shirts, draped vests, and long outer-shirts (or bomber-style jackets, classic windbreakers in vivid colors, and the like).
The man-about-town will strike a pose in chic tailor-made suits, dress shirts (that pop out in lime green, pink, or canary yellow), and understated plain or fanciful ties in luxurious silks, for instance.
Heh, you've come a long way baby!
