men in tights? of course not

Men in San Francisco are much more stylish than the women.

It's not rocket science to peg the most stylish cities around the globe. Paris, New York (I'm going next month), London, Milan, and others, I'm sure.

*I don't include L.A., because L.A. is not stylish in my opinion. While I have an affection for it the style, or lack thereof, is repulsive. The essence of being stylish hails from individualism (something this city does NOT promote. And though I do like the Angelenos have no fear of color the "style" seems very trite and insignificant in the grand scheme of fashion because it seems so...(I cannot find the word)orrather it's trying waaaay too hard and in the end looks sloppy. Enough of my tyraid.

Back on topic. San Franciso has it's own style, electic. However, many of the men who parade the city Timbuk2 bags slung across their bodies are very stylish and do a great job of conveying that via their wardrobe. I guess what I'm trying to say is, the men in this city wear clothes, and wear them well. They are selective, use great color combinations, and pick out things that fit nicely. Perhaps this is a result of so many creative-types (very attractive) running amuck throughout this 7 mile space. However, even those guys who ride bikes (oh and btw: there are some people men that are doing a bit too much or too little, I'm in the general, y'all) can pull of a nice look with nicely color denim, chic city sneakers, and hoodies w/ bright t-shirts underneath (so Hottender). The men of the financial district (whom I have a serious affection for, if young, dark haired and hot--not plump and oldy olsen) look stunning in their cheery colored button downs or yellow accents, navy suits and freshly polished shoes. I love the "guy on the bus" who dons the well pressed navy pants with brown shoes who simply reads the Times and listens to his 'pod or the guy who is a bit more causal, but really owning his look, no doubt.

Ahh but the ladies--another story, which I will not get into. I'm just going to leave you with the lovely thoughts of the "More Stylish than they know it," men of San Francisco.

*I'm attending a fashion show tomorrow (Zac Posen will be there) and I bet the boys will be in better attire. I'll report on Saturday.
