That’s definitely the softer side of men’s clothing. I don’t dislike it but I think it will take a minute or two to get used to.

I want one

My sons wouldnt be caught dead in it.

^^^mine either. Nor my DH. I would be the one ordering it for me.

I love it.

Every so that often, they throw in a curve ball.

I like it a lot!

I don't know that I would want to wear things with perforations in them.

Parker York Smith (youtuber with emphasis on men’s fashion) would absolutely wear that. He wears sweaters and jackets he buys in the women’s department because they are shorter.

I would 100% wear that. My DS? Not a chance! DH? Doubtful.

I personally think it's ugly for anyone. My hair guy would wear it in a heartbeat. I love him-but, I don't usually like most of the things he wears. Every so often, he looks adorable, and I tell him so.

I saw a guy at the gym today. Black dude, totally bulked up! I could imagine HIM wearing THAT jacket and looking really Gooooooooooooooooooood in it! It would tone down the muscled up look just enough. Most guys THAT big are on steroids. They need a little smoothing over. Something for everyone...

While looking at clothes online, I also came across a number of semi sheer, crochet, and mesh shirts and sweaters for men, paired with trousers and jackets.

I’m not a big eyelet fan, so I wouldn’t wear it, nor would the mr. (tina marie)

I've seen a few guys wearing crocheted tops lately, loose grandma squares, with a sleeveless tee underneath.

Love that jacket, I would totally wear it. My son, likely not, but he can be experimental in his attire so I might be wrong. DH and SIL, never. I do not like mesh clothing at all, not for anyone.

If any of the males I know would wear it, it would be my oldest son - if his LA bride liked it. I wouldn't expect it. It appears the eyelet is more geometric than floral. I'm not a fan of mesh in clothing, but I do like lace, crochet and eyelet embroidery. Climate might play a role in that, but I like the look as well. For me.

I guess Gap is jumping on the train in a more subtle way, making a nod at what's happening in higher fashion. It seems that the more sheer it is, the more expensive it is. I don't imagine this will be seen at all outside the metro northeast and California, and even then it will probably mostly be worn with a tank top or t-shirt under it, which is how it is shown even in some of the catalogs. Guess, Lucky, Aeropostale, Banana Republic, even Walmart. But the one at Walmart is Very subtle.

YSL first showed a lot of sheer women's clothes in 1966, and they sold out. But they mostly sold out with coordinated underpinnings.

That is the Back view of the blue bowling shirt just to show exactly how sheer that one is

I do like the look of navy eyelet and wonder why we think eyelet skews feminine.

Don’t care much for mesh clothing w/o a lining and hate & double hate the mesh slippers.

Is this cost or design driven— wonder if mesh fabric is generally cheaper than full weight

It looks like they are trying to embrace feminine clothing for men, in a subtle way. I guess it is a start but they need to dive in much deeper IMO. I personally love that style, in a more dramatic way, for myself. I find much of it to be ultra edgy and stylish. Some of the best pieces in my wardrobe were designed for feminine men.

To me, mesh means a regular pattern of open weave -- like a window screen or a cane chair back, but in fibers for fabric. Eyelet is made by starting with a woven or knit fabric that is embroidered in a design that includes regular holes as part of the design. Mesh may be relatively inexpensive, but eyelet tends to be more expensive.

I have noticed a trend toward lighter and more delicate fabrics, especially in shirts, tops and dresses. They are nice for my climate, but not all hold up, so the cynical side of me sees it as a counter to the slow fashion movement -- replace often.

It looks as if the eyelet/lace extends to men's trousers of various levels of conservativeness

I do not like seeing pockets through fabric. Not really a fan of the eyelet jacket (but it could grow on my) or sheer shirts on men. The last pair is comical. How does one keep something from slipping and showing, and how do these look in the back? Inquiring mind that I am, I did a Google image search. They also have rather large pockets in the back that show through. Anthropologie is almost sold out of a set made for women.

I guess you are supposed to either wear skin tone underwear or contrasting underwear under the lace pants.

Modesty is now officially just a seven letter word for crossword puzzles. 😎

Pal, I saw several pants with either white/ivory boxers, one with mid thigh under-something or seemingly nothing in others. They are fitting for a beach vacation. ETA: Women's clothing.

I would be surprised to see the lacy/see through men's pants anywhere, I guess. The pretty solid versions maybe. A lot of very revealing clothing gets sold, but I would imagine it doesn't leave the house most of the time.

A beautiful dude in a kilt is extremely appealing to me, but I grew up in a bagpiping community so guys in skirts seem very natural to me.

I'm not a fan of eyelet on anyone. But, I'm glad that men have access to breezy clothes in their size and fit.

From a young age, I have had an incredibly gender neutral view of the world. I'm thrilled there is now terminology, styles, and, in some areas of our culture, acceptance for what has always seemed inherently right to me.

DH and I were clothes shopping for him last night and we saw the short shorts. I commented he may still have some like that at home!

I feel like it could take a while for the average 20-40 year old to embrace that trend. It is the opposite of wearing your pants down on your hips and it is shows your body so much more than knee length baggy shorts. I feel many guys would feel so uncomfortable showing that much leg now.

The thing is that above men's knees is often the better part of their leg, more than the calf

w.r.t mens shorts, don’t wanna see what I think of Australian-style of short-shorts but also think that mens shorts that hover below or right at the knee tend to be unattractive. Below the knee cargo pants are the worst.

Fabric is expensive.

I think the baggy short is a matter of proportion and build. If you are very tall and skinny and combine it with a narrow shirt and the right shoes, it works. However, most people are not proportioned to carry this off very well, or young enough.

The shoes required to carry those are comical and the little space between the socks and hem is akward. He would look so much cuter if 8” were chopped off and the loafers were still chunky but not clownlike.

I have a skirt remarkably like this…. mustard gold with silver buckles from The Frankie Shop. (Very mini, and I wear it only with black tights, shoes and turtleneck. )

Gosh I love the jacket. I sometimes need just a bit of something for warmth, and I like the eyelets in this. I have a cardigan used solely for restaurants that is similar - just enough weight to keep the ac chill at bay.

(And I suppose I have officially entered old person territory by complaining about AC in restaurants.....)

It's hard to imagine the lace/see through clothing as anything other than a beach coverup. And do men need beach coverups? Maybe if they're wearing speedos and want to go into a restaurant?

Seems very Miami Beach and nowhere else kinda clothing to me.

That last pic of the long shorts and clown shoes is just ridiculous. Really, does anyone wear shoes like that?

The supersized shoes are because the photograph is taken that way. They are big shoes but not that big. This outfit is supposed to be weirdly proportioned, I think. And it's why so few people can wear it. Or should wear it maybe.

But the exaggerated version "classic" shoe, is a thing:

HOLY COW! :O
