MEN

I just finished watching 'A Single Man' - a movie directed by fashion designer Tom Ford - and it really made me think about how easy it is for men to be stylish, but so few choose to! Sadness rebounds in my world because of this. I must say that this is the first time I realized how completely cool Colin Firth is. Does it hurt that Tom Ford's sleek signature style resonates throughout the movie? Not at all!




I'm not going to pretend I'm some cinematic wizard or anything - this movie doesn't really have a plot point and I'm not always good with those kinds of movies. I just watched because I like Mr. fuzzy-sweater, Nicholas Hoult.




I guess this is why 'Mad Men' is so popular right now - that classic cool style from the '60s kicks the casual crap that has become our go-to fashion choices of the current era. Can't my husband walk around in a Tom Ford suit?



Oh Julianne Moore, you are the epitome of everything gorgeous.

To summarize (though I didn't say anything even remotely compelling), I think this movie is pretty. I also wish more men would take how they look more seriously, but avoid being pretentious while doing so. Impossible?

Ps, men - Can you wear only shiny black shoes with suits? It's hot.
