Flannel, Please Go Away. You Too, Fashion.

Lately, I’ve noticed quite a few women wearing flannel, which seems to indicate it’s the latest trend in fashion, or something like that. Personally, I find that women look awful in this stuff, and I’d imagine most other guys would agree. And, if that’s the case, women are doing this because:

1. It’s trendy.

2. Other women are wearing it.

So, to recap, women are wearing something that men don’t find attractive because it’s trendy and other women are doing the same thing. Great. Miranda Kerr could wear flannel, and she’d become ugly to me (at least temporarily).

I don’t have a problem with fashion or style, but I do think it’s a bit ridiculous to wear something just because it’s in fashion or in style. At one point—as I understand it, since I’m too young to have experienced it—bell bottoms were the current fashion, and there was no music in the world better than disco. After the drugs of the 70s and the hairspray of the 80s faded away, people seemed to come to their senses, and realized how awful those things were. So what drug is it that has convinced women that flannel looks good? And can we either make it illegal, or provide copious amounts of it to men across the country so that we needn’t feel as though we’re chasing lumberjacks around?
