See I actually like that jacket. If they showed it on a model in her 30s-40s styled with a plain dress, sandals and a pretty necklace, it would be right up my street. I would seriously consider getting one. But styled like that and worn by a man, nothing more could put me of that outfit.

Identity only goes so far, doesn’t it.

I thought elephant poaching and importation of elephant hides was illegal.

His posture in the Ascot picture looks absolutely awful. Other pictures show the same whenever he is wearing women's cut jackets which makes me think that they simply aren't broad enough in the shoulder for him and he's forced to hunch into them so he can get them on. It's not flattering and makes the clothes hang oddly. When he was younger he had a bit of a New Romantic air going on. With age and weight gain the clothing proportions just don't fit him at all well so jackets and jumpers are too short. And he's very fond of a high collar which is never a great look with a fatter chin. I speak from personal experience

I agree. As a tall not skinny woman with broad size 9 feet it's incredibly annoying that brands manage to find stuff to fit males but I have problems finding a size 9 quality shoe for work or evening that doesn't look cheap or orthopaedic

Does he watch Emily in Paris for his style inspo? 😬😬

Suffice to say Tatler must have a bruised back from so many pats

That's the worst outfit I have seen in a long time.

Perfect!😂

I’d bloody love dresses longer in the torso. See also one-piece swimwear

This has got to be the answer. One of those posh kid pranks.

Christ what a clown

Fuck no

Unsubscribed from Boden , had been meaning to do a while but that crap made up my mind

That's one thing he has in common with Chandler Bing then!

He grew up with a transgender parent? Which one? The one who supplied the sperm, or the one who supplied the egg?

I bet I can guess which, though…

Brainwashed from early childhood, from the sound of it.

I am not a denizen of S&B, but can't the stylists at Tatler give this chap some tips on how to make his hair look less messy?

They still talk about “men’s” and “women’s’ clothing/fit in the Sewing Bee to my great surprise

I think it is that men are hopelessly stereotyped in their aspirations and self image but women are more likely to seperate the dress from the wearer so can see a man in a dress and think ‘those sleeves are great’

When I see a man in a dress being sold for women I immediately think ‘cut’. A dress that is cut to fit a man would not fit a woman - it would be too long in the torso, too broad across the shoulders, too narrow at the hips, too long in the sleeves, ill fitting at the waste, and hopeless at the bust. Any clothing supplier who doesn’t understand the difference is shape between men and women does not deserve my business.

It’s clear from reading the linked Tatler article that NB status doesn’t extend to writing styles. I was left in no doubt as to the sex of the author.

Yes, it’s not controversial, is that why transmen are not really in advertising as models? It’s not shocking, Justin beiber is pretty and slender, it’s not unusual or controversial. And BTS are the same.

But how shocking can it be to see men wearing women’s clothes now? Are people not bored of it yet? I think its a bit done now.

I think maybe this man is interesting because of what he chooses to put together, rather than just wearing women’s clothes, it’s not my cup of tea, but each to their own, and I guess it’s Tatlers cup of tea.

I knew it looked familiar

Poor Elmer

He has enough problems without being dragged into this

A transman , or any woman, can dress like a man without it being anything to write home about.
Trouser suit? Tick
Trackies and hoody? Tick

I mean, what men's apparel could a tm.wesr that would be in any way controversial?
