I agree with the overall sentiment you’ve presented here.

However, im curious about the paralell that’s drawn here. Has AA become so influential that it pre-dates high fashion?

@ Mudasser: I don’t think AA is in general that influential that it pre-dates high fashion. High fashion has always been first in new trends by definition, but I think in this particular case AA has popularized the look so much that it became known by the masses as the AA look. Also, many times high fashion do look to “street” trends for inspiration, which in my opinion is true for this case. The deep neckline look in men’s fashion might have been there before the AA shirts came out, but if anything it became more commercially popular and wearable after, IMO. Anyways, I just personally think it’s a tough look to pull off. Brrr…

Mia, my boyfriend and your good friend (Alex) loves these shirts because of the way they make his man boobs look.  He would either cry or verbally assault you if he knew how to read.

Dear Sam,
Please tell your boyfriend that his moobs were the inspirations for this post.

I’m very glad someone took the time to point out these abominations. I must admit, I almost crumbled and bought one for my self, but I’m happy to say I resisted. I knew deep inside that these things were completely ridiculous, all I needed was to hear it from someone else, particularly a woman. There’s also an article on Mark Ecko’s magazine (the name escapes me right now) which also lashes out against these rags, it helped me get through the worst of times.

Pass the word ladies, don’t let misguided men fall for this product.

Wow, you as sexist and non-progressive as men that don’t believe women should ever wear pants. If you find the average male to not look appropriate in a deep V-neck shirt, you probably don’t look as “babe-a-licious” in them as you think you might. If a man is comfortable in a deep V, he should be able to wear one without a misandrist such as yourself throwing around your shallow and negative bull ####.

Dear reader “Gen”,

Thank you for your constructive criticism. I will properly file it in my “humorless jackholes” reader mail folder.

Now I must go and investigate this claim that you made regarding the fact that women are allowed to wear pants. WHAAAAAT? Infuriating! Damn this modern age.

Peace, love, and chestpubes,
Mia

PS: Seriously though, this is an editorial, and filed under “Humor”. If you love them deep Vs, please don’t let my “shallow and negative bull####” discourage you from wearing them. Rock out with your (man)tits out!

Mia,
You sounded like a half brain-dead and half retarded person.  Actually, you sounded like an old woman who lived in a cave all her life. You should be banned from writing your bollocks criticism. Pull your head out of your ass girl, who cares about other people look like or how they dress. This world would be so boring if everyone has good taste and dresses well don’t you think? you have a serious insecure issue that needs to be dealt with. You’re lack of confident and projecting your own reflection on others.
Yeah sure, some clothing are meant or suitable for some people but why would you give a damn. I find it beautiful, humorous, scary, adorable, etc when I run into these situations but that just make me realize how everyone is special in their own way.
You need to get some proper education before writing this kind of critique.

We as humans have something called free will. It is what makes us who we are, that is, individuals. We are not a collective entity and thank God we aren’t. I sure would not like to live in a world where everyone and everything was the same. It is the fact that everyone makes their own decisions that makes the world what it is. I am grateful for the eclectic decisions people make. Without them we would be nothing but mindless zombies or robots. Fashion depends on the person wearing the clothing. Beauty is interpreted. It is not forced upon anyone. Think of how much time would be wasted if we were negative about things we didn’t like! There are much worse issues in our world that we could be focusing on trying to fix. Not every review or critique has to be negative or slandering people’s artistic tastes.

On the other hand, this trend could be beneficial in that in might encourage more men to go to the gym. I mean, I certainly hope this trend would only be worn by men with nice pecs. Ewww… the mental image of a man with moobs wearing this trend is disgusting…
