Whoa.
I mean, I get what he was saying, and I've heard other sodomites say it: it takes a sense of security in your masculinity and some physical fortitude, but really, it's kind of a gay argument.

Sadly I do not think being a power-bottom counts as a "manly occupation" in these rankings.

AW: At the end of the day, we who are interested in men's wear are always in "costume" (well, most of us). Not everyone has perfectly-fitted, light-padded Cucinelli jackets, or high-watered Thom Browne suits. We are the ones who are always "vulnerable," having paid our dues 364 days of the year. We are always out of the comfort zone. What is more abnormal than looking (slightly) normal on a day of abnormality?

Not wearing a Halloween costume during Halloween is actually the ultimate costume. (...) Last year, I took the risk and wore the "ultimate costume." Some girl asked me what I was, and I replied "the best dressed one here."
you do not understand halloween. kill yourself now.

his tone is national review online-esque and reminds me of religious anti-halloween types, except replace "god" with "self-involvement."

Damn, dude, if you don't want to dress up for Halloween, don't dress up. You don't have to write an article to justify it.

Another good one is to look the person in the eyes and deadpan "You're worst fucking nightmare." Although there could be some creepy gender dynamics there so use it wisely.

Also be certain to use the correct "your."
depending on intent, your first version was also correct

Straight Talk: A New Breed of Fashion Bloggers
here are some male fashion bloggers who can tell you how to dress nice but not get all faggy about it (honestly, they are totally macho and tough, you bet. yup.)

I like that the nytimes article elmo linked justifies my belief that these guys have the most boring tastes outside of fashion, and that says something about their tastes in that realm.

hey elmo, are there actual men fashion/clothing bloggers outside of the hypebeast-type people who are into modern materials/new stuff? Can't think of anything too much in the way of examples, maybe something like the arcteryx veilance line?

my general feeling is that there's not a lot of interest in invention or new technology from men's style blogs atm? at least among the blogs i've been paying attention to. tradition and heritage and craftsmanship and all that are still the prevailing influences and people only really get excited about technical fabrics when someone makes a sport coat out of one

i completely understand the backlash against/hatred for the sartorially inclined double monkstrap "blogger blue" db blazer types. the weird rap blog dialect thing, the circle jerking, stfu abt "pitti," etc etc.
what i don't understand is why no one is talking shit about the put this on guys. especially the main one. the wet eyed fat faced goon. maybe he makes ugly/dumpy internet types feel like they can play too? the guy just skeeves me out.
these dudes are mostly useful for pointing out sales without having to trudge thru styleforum threads.
i do like "an affordable wardrobe" and "a suitable wardrobe" quite a bit. those dudes have some good ideas on how to live.

the guy is fucking nuts tho. he's making these proclamations abt the well-dressed gentleman like $500 at a time. "well ah yes naturally one will want 14 pairs of bresciani socks to wear with one's $350 velvet house slippers." i guess he writes for forbes or something? and is paid in diamonds and rare works of art? b/c there's no way he can be that rich just from selling ludicrously overpriced "gilets" to people over the internet.
i dunno, he's a window into this totally square clueless white guy fantasy world and even if he's just faking/aspirationing it he's very convincingly square and clueless.
