I’m Over it: Moustaches

Yes, we’ve recently Trendsparked them… but Jezebel has just given us the 6 reasons why they are not sexy, and I must agree. Here they are:

1. If he has has curly hair, you’ll realize you’re kissing the guy from Welcome Back Kotter. Or Gene Shalit. Not sexy.

2. If the dude is blond, you might be tricked into thinking you’re hooking up with Westley from The Princess Bride. But you’re not. Also, it looks like a broom. And that’s not sexy.

3. This style could be called The Keith Hernandez. It is also: Not sexy.

4. Some staches make guys look more mean. America’s Most Wanted: Not sexy.

5. Pat O’Brien is up for the Goulet award. But you just can’t date a man with a stache like this. He will leave you a voicemail that says, “You are so fucking hot. I am so fucking into you.” Not sexy.

6. End of story.

Trend Spark: Moustaches

I’m not exactly sure if I would go as far as painting a moustache on my face prior to a night on the town, but there is something very intriguing about the moustache trend. Recently, models on the runway, in fashion spreads and editorials have been flaunting little black moustaches. If you ask me, I think the reason behind this is to extract the subtle masculine features from certain garments. The trend has even gone as far as inspiring moustache parties and this years first Moustache Fashion Week. Okay, the fake stick on moustaches are awfully tacky, but I’m loving the painted little French curls on the runway and in magazines! But keep it at that…I don’t know if I can handle fake beards or side-burns…

Thanks Trend de la Creme!
