Don’t confuse dressing well with dressing outrageously. When backward-ass “manly men” stuck in a ’90s midwestern mentality of society who rather wear Old Navy jeans and a pit-stained “I’m kind of a big deal” tee freak out about how a “well dressed man” has to be either effeminate or gay, they are usually confusing the two aforesaid categories of men. Here we have someone who is dressed outrageously, whose combination of a short blazer that barely hits his hips and “chunky” (I hate that fucking word) pseudo-espadrilles certainly make him look more Jane Fonda than James Bond.
This has absolutely nothing to do with sexuality. It’s just that there is a correct way to rock a blazer and slip on shoes, and this look couldn’t stray any further from that universal truth. And to debate otherwise would be the sartorial equivalent of trying to argue that Frederic Weis is the greatest basketball player of all time. It’s just dead wrong and not even close.
