In addition, it doesn't look right on that particular guy. I mean, I don't like it, but I think I would dislike it less on a different model. </p> <p>That said, I dated a guy who had the most awesome floral shirt that I would try to steal on a regular basis. He never let me get away with it, though. Apparently other women tried and failed as well. It was a basic, classic fit guy's button up collared shirt. But the print was a black background with tiny little flowers in bright colors all over it. It was awesome. I still covet that shirt. And I think I've strayed from the point... He looked great in it, too. Yeah, that's what I was getting at. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-860354 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:59:02 +0000 velvetychocolate 860354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like floral prints on men if it's a nice shirt, or perhaps a tie, but ...this particular item? No. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-860198 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:20:58 +0000 unfrumped 860198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummm....not so.much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-860189 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:58:04 +0000 Mander 860189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This particular floral somehow looks girly to me, but I often see men's dress shirts in florals, and of course the ubiquitous floral ties, Hawaiian shirts, and summer shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859964 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 03:39:38 +0000 MsMary 859964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mr. K rocks a floral shirt with the best of them.</p> <p>Mr. Gal Repeller in the link, notsomuch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859858 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:30:37 +0000 DonnaF 859858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too Carnaby Street; too Granny. I don't think even I would wear it; gives me junior high/high school flashbacks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859856 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:28:11 +0000 Angie 859856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debs, Una and Janet, most of my male clients wear floral shirts - that I picked out for them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859852 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:25:31 +0000 Deborah 859852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay Angie! My DH is not a floral kind of guy but I quite like certain floral shirts on men. For me it's all about the colour and the print </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859849 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:23:42 +0000 Anonymous 859849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this, but think florals on men are more fun when the item/outfit is dressier and more traditional, such as a tie, or a nice button-up, like Janet's example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859842 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:15:39 +0000 Angie 859842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Greg wears florals, but they are VERY subtle. </p> <p>I vote yay to blokes in florals. Why not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859838 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:12:41 +0000 Caro in Oz 859838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mamapicklejuice - you forget my age - I grew up with far worse in the 70's. Florals are not a problem for me:) Now heavy side-burns, low-slung denim &amp; dirty hair are another matter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859835 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:09:34 +0000 Echo 859835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See, I cannot quite get onboard with the "turnabout is fair play" idea. That, by extension, would mean that men in heels, skirts/dresses and makeup would be fine, too. Now, don't get me wrong - they ARE fine for the man who wants to wear them. I would never presume to tell someone what they can or cannot wear. But my point is that I don't see them ever going mainstream, so those who choose to wear them must be prepared for some unusual looks. </p> <p>So while I can see the right man in the right floral shirt (as a kind of ironic look), overall I am not a fan of this hoodie or of florals for men in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859813 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:47:11 +0000 Diana 859813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, is it bad that *I* kind of want it? (ETA: The vest, not the dude! Just to be clear...)</p> <p>J. would never touch this in a million years though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859810 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:46:47 +0000 rachylou 859810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha! Just in tears. "Gal Repeller."</p> <p>Ya. We could totally have micro brews and a Lanesplitter pizza together, but never in a million years would I join a game of spin the bottle with him in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859790 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:30:52 +0000 kellygirl 859790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG: The gal-repeller.

Not sure he'd wear this particular hoodie quite as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859780 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:27:00 +0000 Janet 859780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband has a blue and white sort of abstract floral button-front shirt and it looks awesome on him. Depends on the print, the garment, and the guy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859759 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:18:31 +0000 catgirl 859759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe some clever guy needs to start a blog called The Gal-Repeller. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859758 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:18:13 +0000 kellygirl 859758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! I think it's pretty funny. I don't know any males that would wear this while still breathing but I am out here in suburbia. Bwahahaha. I see men in floral swim trunks at yoga and they seem okay but this...not so sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859757 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:17:45 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 859757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OTOH, this male sewing blogger from NYC looks great in his floral button-down (as seen in his blog bannerhead - <a href="http://malepatternboldness.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://malepatternboldness.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>And to Deb's point, men do wear (and carry off, imo) Hawaiian shirt type florals. </p> <p>But the Laura Ashley grandma hoody? um, no. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859752 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:16:02 +0000 rae 859752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't choose it for DH... then again, I barely choose florals for myself. But I can think of some Metro and Gay guys who might love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859751 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:15:57 +0000 Tanya 859751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think it theory it could work, but it depends on the floral and on the guy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859750 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:15:47 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 859750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>caro, be honest. do you really think scruffy nose-ring dude is rocking the Laura Ashley floral vest he stole from his grandma? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dudes-in-floral-yay-or-nay#post-859746 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:14:34 +0000 Caro in Oz 859746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why not?
