| Huh? |
Some things cannot be unseen, and today, via the magic of
the inescapable Facebook ads, I saw a thing before work that haunted me all
day. Luckily, I took a screenshot, because when you want an ad to reappear in
the feed it never, ever does. Ever. But I had enough key word clues to Google it.
It’s a menswear item, and if anyone I know ever showed up
wearing it, I would not be able to stop laughing. There is actually only one
character I can imagine who would wear this nonsensical item, and it’s the fictional
character David Rose on Schitt’s Creek, played by Daniel Levy.
The memorable item is the MM6 Maison Margiela Asymmetrical
Cut-Out Wool Cargo Shorts in the Saks Off 5th ad. The description
says this uniquely tailored version of shorts is “cut from wool and features
elements of classic tailoring contrasted with an edgier cargo-style silhouette.
Style yours with a tucked-in t-shirt to keep the cut-out details in focus.”

| Oh, a skirt! |
Fancy designer marketing words be damned, in plain language, this
is a skort for men – a tragic coupling of a skirt and shorts. From the back, it
looks a bit like a finely tailored skirt, or at least a part of a skirt. The front features peekaboo cropped pantleg with strips of fabric and cutouts
to display the knees. These “shorts” sit at the waist without any butt or underwear hanging out of the back, but a couple carefully tailored slits at the thighs and around the manly parts are a unique feature and provide a titillating glimpse of thigh and who know what else. I wonder where this clothing curiosity fits into the newly relaxed office dress codes.
The “asymmetrical cut-out wool cargo shorts” are currently on sale
for the low, low price of $699.99 – marked down from $1,790. Tempting, no? Sadly,
you’ll need to have them shipped, as they are not available in Boston nor anywhere
within 100 miles.
