  4. Trends Men Wear That Women Hate

    Don't shoot the messenger here. :)

    I have to say, living in the metro area I live in, the majority of this I think applies to the College aged crowd.

    Also, I am guilty of cargo shorts on a hot day, or while on a hike. However, if I am not out to be active, I stick to pants even on a warm summer day, and would never eat at a restaurant wearing shorts (unless fast food). I am a little bit old school that way. Shorts 24x7 in the summer is a very American thing.

    Phone on your belt. I have to agree. The only people that seem to be still doing this are doctors and the IT/Computer Tech/Engineer crowd. Having many female friends, this is one thing they giggle about. It has the fashion sense of a Pocket Protector. Useful and functional--yes, fashionable--no.

    Interesting read. I have to say, as a man I basically agree, and my wife wholeheartedly agrees.

    Trends Men Wear That Women Hate

    By Kate Devine January 21, 2010 Eight trends we wish men wouldn't wear.

    Here is our list of eight men's fashion trends we [women] just can't stand.

    1. Graphic Tees (pictured above)

    We get it --- you heart party girls. From trite phrases to tacky screenprints, wearing these ridiculous tees might be one of the easiest fashion crimes that men fall victim to. Rule of thumb: if you're too embarassed to say something out loud, then you probably shouldn't broadcast it on your chest. In the spirit of world peace, we're willing to make a deal: If you ditch the graphic tees, we'll trade in our Uggs.

    2. Manpris

    When we started wearing cropped pants years ago, you guys kept the "When's the flood coming?" jokes rolling. But, oh, how the tides have turned. Sadly, these pants simply don't work for men. The time has come, gentlemen, to make a decision: pants or shorts. Manpris are not much longer than good old-fashioned shorts, so it's not like they're keeping you any warmer. And PS --- just because Tom Brady wore them doesn't make them okay.

    3. Cargo Shorts/ Pants/ Manpris

    86583_1264094830.jpg

    We have to ask, why do you need so many pockets? It's not like you're toting around makeup compacts and eight tubes of lip gloss. Cargo shorts were acceptable when you were dodging opponents in Capture the Flag at camp back in the summer of '95, but unless you're planning to join Bear Grylls on one of his Man vs. Wild expeditions, we're going to need you to bury these in the back of your closet.

    4. The "Going Out" Shirt

    86585_1264094918.jpg

    Guys, we understand that it's tough to dress for a night out. Clubs have dress codes and bars get super hot. We appreciate your efforts to spice up the boring pants/shirt combo, but we have to address the "going out" shirt. Don't be coy --- you know exactly what we're talking about. Those thin-fitted button downs (the ones you stop buttoning mid-chest) that hang neatly in your closet --- well, we can spot the awful vertical stripe patterns and wacky prints from the other end of the bar. Don't untuck it. And pretty pretty please --- we're begging you --- don't pop the collar. It just makes bad look worse.

    5. Scarves

    Now this is tricky. We're all about warmth, especially in the dead of winter, so we fully support men who accessorize their outerwear with a nice scarf to keep them from getting frostbite. However, we draw the line there. Politics aside, the keffiyeh was one of the most overworn pieces of 2009 (see: Kanye West, Chris Brown). Sure, it came in every color combo possible and "worked" for every season, but its shelf life has expired. After all those months of being covered, give your neck some breathing room.

    6. Bad Leather Shoes

    They say you can't judge another man unless you've walked in his shoes. Well, if these are your shoes, you can be rest assured we won't be walking in them anytime soon (and unfortunately, we're going to judge anyway). A lot of guys don't pay attention to their footwear (unless they're talking classic Nikes), but women are shoe people. We notice (and cringe at) the bad stitching, weird patterns, and pointy toes, and we long for the day that you'll ask us to direct you to a more fabulous pair. Sorry guys, but this one's a dealbreaker.

    7. The Deep-V

    Here's the thing. Technically speaking, there's nothing we hate about the deep-V tee --- it's about as basic as it gets. But every hipster from Williamsburg to Venice Beach donned the deep-V this year, and frankly, we're just tired of looking at your chest hair through the plunging neckline. They might be unisex, but leave this one for the girls.

    8. Clipping your cell phone to your belt

    86590_1264095155.jpg

    Whatever it is that you're doing --- stop. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. We appreciate the convenience factor, but let's be serious --- there's a reason cell phone carriers give away the belt clips for free when you purchase a new phone. Either invest in a jacket with deeper pockets or start carrying a messenger bag with you to work. Belts are there to hold up your pants, not your tech gadgets.

  23. Weekend WC

    7S26 movement indicates Singapore Mvmt. From what I know this was a very limited run, Japan/Singapore market. It filled the gap/overlap running parallel with the transition between 7702&Samurai->Monster.

    The part number is:

    SKXA55K1 = "Orange Bullet"

    SKXA53K1 = "Black Bullet" (mine)
