Not many would think about it, but men’s fashion seems to have taken different forms on campus. From preppy to gothic or outdoorsman to geeks, all men have their own sense of fashion that helps show a preview of what their personality is like.

Is men’s idea of fashion going crazy today with the influence of social media such as Facebook and Tumblr? What makes a man fashionable? It depends on whom is asked, really.

Darien Crochet, a freshman kinesiology major, thinks the guys are able to hold their own these days.

“I saw classy casual clothes like Hollister, button-ups and sweaters with a tie. Nearly everyone dresses nicely around here,” Crochet said.

Crochet also pointed out some of the trends he is less impressed with.

“Students are probably late when they are resorting to this attire, but for everyday, it’s not acceptable to show up to class in your sleeping clothes.”

Dorien Hall, a freshman marketing major, thinks that all guys should just keep it simple.

“Blue jeans and a button-up with walking shoes from Journeys,” Hall said when describing his go-to outfit for a casual day in class.

Kentarius Caldwell, a senior mass communications major, believes that men are trying to be different, but are simply participating in fads such as men’s tights.

“It’s absolutely terrible. For one, it’s inappropriate for men to wear spandex and, honestly, no one wants to see that and it’s kind of nasty,” Caldwell said.

When asked about men wearing brightly colored clothing, his sentiments were the same.

The male students of ULM seem pretty relaxed about their fashion sense. Other than the occasional outlier, guys do believe that they have not gone off the deep end yet.

Guys just want to feel comfortable. It makes it easier to focus in class if the inseams of the skinny jeans aren’t riding up your area.

The southern lifestlye also has a lot of influence on the white t-shirt trend that is truly everlasting and safe.

Nonetheless, guys have fashion sense too, it’s just a guy thing. A clean shaved face- now that’s fashion.

When it comes to style, women aren’t the only ones following the fads, setting trends and looking for show-stopping outfits.
