I just listened to an interview that Terry Gross did with Mindy Kaling the other day (she is the creator of the sitcom "The Mindy Project", which was pretty funny, and also was on "The Office"). Here is an excerpt that discusses differences between men's and women's fashion sense:

GROSS: So you said that there were 15 things in fashion that girls like that guys hate. What are some of those 15?

KALING: I have found it to be true that men tend to not understand or like sequins very much.

Men don't like, sort of, the wedge shoe, I have noticed. Men don't like - tend to like the statement necklace or chunky tribal jewelry. These are the things, by the way, that I love, so the overlap in the Venn diagram of things that men hate for women to wear and the things that I love to wear, it's almost a full overlap on the Venn diagram, which is unfortunate for me.

What are other things? Capri pants I've noticed that men tend to dislike. This is not clothing, but I adore a short haircut. I don't know a single man, including my own brother and my own father, who if I cut my hair shorter than my shoulders, they think it's a huge tragedy.

KALING: Which is again too bad because I would live to have like a - that Audrey Hepburn short sort of hairstyle. Those are a few.

GROSS: Does the fact that your research shows that men don't like these things prevent you from wearing them?

KALING: No because I, like most women, I dress for other women, I think. If I was going to dress for men, I think in general I would be just wearing, like, a fitted black T-shirt and tight jeans every day. I mean, this is very - of course, this is my unscientific research by working with male comedy writers for the past eight years.

Wow, Sound of Music on the big screen! Dreamy!

A conversation about semi-tucking -- just the conversation -- caused DH and I to have an argument. The only reason it didn't escalate into a full fight is because I backed down. I haven't brought it up since, and if I show him a WIW of one of you girls in a semi-tuck he starts to simmer again. So I don't show him. I'm a pacifist.

I think an outfit that makes anyone say, "can you do that?" is fashion in the making. Boldly go where no fabber has gone before.

I am with Gillian and your sister's BF on this! While in theory I know scarves can be great in the heat, in practice I have never been able to stand them, so strapless plus scarf feels seasonally confused to me!

Mind you, that is a gorgeous scarf!

And the one instance I can imagine it: hot day outside. Going to air conditioned movie theatre or restaurant. Um....like your day with sis!!

As for Mr. Suz, his eye often takes a while to adjust. He had a hard time with skinny jeans at first, was confused by the semi-tuck, sometimes rejects certain patterns as "too much." But then usually starts to love them once he sees them in an actual outfit.

Interesting how often the semi-tuck comes up as a point of confusion for the menfolk!

It goes both ways though--- I once chastized the SO for wearing shorts and flip flops. He is very hands on and outdoorsy, and we don't have HOT HOT summers. I thought it was weird that a man would wear something that he couldn't comfortably change a tire in and that slowed him down when walking in the grocery store (which he hates) when all of his other clothing choices are strictly functional (down to the colors he will wear). He has this attachment to black that has spread from functional parts of his life to non-functional parts, but don't tell the man that! Or that it isn't as flattering as he thinks it is. He doesn't look bad, but he has just light enough eyes and a tinge more pink in his skin than I do and would look much better in any other dark neutral. We also have gotten into disagreements about the proper length of men's pants. He relented after realizing non-highwaters were more comfortable. Plus, I have a poison eye for kakhis, polo shirts, and short sleeved button downs.

And I totally do it to girls too- I will often wonder why they are wearing something SO IMPRACTICAL. It blows my mine, but that is the guy side of me talking.

All of this talk about the semi-tuck reminded me of the time that J. went around all day sporting an (unintentional) J Crew half tuck. When he finally realized what was going on, he chastised me for not telling him to fix it. Not because he didn't like the half tuck (although he probably wouldn't do it intentionally) but because it was the wrong side that was tucked in. Apparently it has to be the buttonhole side that is untucked. I honestly didn't know because I never sport it myself!
