I have been looking for a chocolate brown jumper for many years now. Men don’t get colours offered to them by the commerce. All we seem to require is grey and navy blue. Recently I have turned my attentions to a pair of yoga pants/sports bottoms for my trips to the gym. My most recent pair of bottoms I got from Decathlon. Useless looking in the men’s aisles. Men’s sports bottoms are gathered at the ankle and low in the crotch. They make you look like an ape. So I looked in the women’s section and tried on a pair of Extra Large women’s. Black, so discreet enough. Perfect for my purposes. Elegant and not too effeminate. This week I pushed the boat out into unchartered waters and bought a chocolate brown pair of women’s sports bottoms on line. Today was their first outing. They are more risky than the black decathlon pair. I think I carried it off all right. As a northerner I am sensitive to the accusations of effeminate dress. But, to be honest, these days with earrings, necklaces and bracelets, not to mention make-up, all active in the modern man’s look, why am I worrying? Still, this is a trend I think I need to be wary of. I wouldn’t want to end up inching into dubious eddies of those afore mentioned unchartered waters.
