We here at Lipstick & Linebackers offer this helpful guide for men of the world.
1. Flip-flops
Unless you are at the beach or your name is Matthew McConaughey, you should not be wearing flip-flops in any sort of urban setting. No man should ever wear open-toed shoes in a civilized society. We do not want to see your athlete's foot, overgrown toenails and hairy toes. Exhibit A (above): Jon Gosselin and Lindsay Lohan's creepy dad.
2. TOMS
TOMS shoes was founded on the premise of buy one, donate one to a kid without shoes in the developing world. A noble cause. These inexpensive, slip-on canvas shoes now come in a variety of prints, colors and styles and have become quite popular with yuppies and hipsters alike. They are new Ugg's.
But this is America, gentlemen. Please do not wear free shoes intended for children in third-world countries.
3. CROCS
Do I even have to comment? This goes for men and women. No one should wear these shoes. Not even you, Mario Batali. Unless maybe if you have clubfoot.
"CLUBFOOT". HAAHAHHHAHA
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly disagree with your flip flop statement. I am a woman and think it is quite acceptable for men on a hot ass summer day to wear flip flops around the city.
ReplyDeleteGreat post 'Nolia!
ReplyDeleteAnother reason TOMS are unacceptable? They are the sort of shoes they give serial killers in prison to prevent them from making weapons from their shoe laces.
I have to say, every guy I know who wears flipflops with frequency is a bit of a manwhore.
