Classic Women and How to Look Like One
The elegant Morning News offers women pointers on the helpful classic musts of fashion, a companion to their earlier series on men.
Although les femmes de Montréal generally dress with respectable flair, there are a few obvious trends about which I, the innocent bystander gentleman, must complain.
First, assymetrical single shoulder straps flatter nobody. Can you imagine how silly these tops would look on a man? Well, only marginally more silly than they look on women. Either be a show off in a tube or halter top, or accept the fact that 99.8% of women look better in a proper tank top.
Modesty aside, the odd accidental glimpse of underthings can be subtly alluring. Pelvic parts, however, and the “porn-star triangle of G-string” belong inside your jeans, not climbing eagerly out of them.
And finally, fur — real or fake — is, after all these years, still ugly, unless you live in the Arctic.
