What Men Really Think of 10 Fall Trends
- What Men Really Think of 10 Fall TrendsWe're not saying that women should dress for men, but we don't mind getting a guy's opinion—when we ask for it. To help put ten fall trends in perspective, Glo sought out Michael Mullen, our in-house wordsmith and all-around purveyor of the male perspective, to weigh in. Read on to find out his thoughts on thigh-high boots, the military look, pussy bows and more.http://static.glo.com/photos/Original/121606_Original.jpg

Not unless she also rides a Harley and packs heat.http://static1.glo.com/photos/Original/121599_Original.jpg

If you find that guys are asking out your dress and ignoring you, it might be time to turn it down a few shades.http://static1.glo.com/photos/Original/121603_Original.jpg
- What Men Really Think of 10 Fall TrendsIf you've got something big and floppy around your neck that serves no purpose, get rid of it—particularly if you work around heavy machinery.

- What Men Really Think of 10 Fall TrendsYes, these boots are sexy—how could they not be? But they also bring out the prude in me, especially when soccer moms wear them in the coffee shop at 7:30 a.m. (I live in Los Angeles). Essentially, these are pants without the pants part—your kids should never know you own a pair.http://static1.glo.com/photos/Original/121596_Original.jpg
- What Men Really Think of 10 Fall TrendsI've just double-parked my Bugatti on the streets of Zurich, late for a G-20 meeting.

- What Men Really Think of 10 Fall TrendsI like this style when it's subtle. But beware: Undergarments should be hinted at, not paraded about under gauzy curtains. Class and moderation are key.http://static1.glo.com/photos/Original/121604_Original.jpg
- What Men Really Think of 10 Fall TrendsWhat's not to like about a trend that nods to Barbarella and Dr. Zhivago?

If it's real, proceed with caution.http://static1.glo.com/photos/Original/121598_Original.jpg

It's a Guy Thing
1 of 11We're not saying that women should dress for men, but we don't mind getting a guy's opinion—when we ask for it. To help put ten fall trends in perspective, Glo sought out Michael Mullen, our in-house wordsmith and all-around purveyor of the male perspective, to weigh in. Read on to find out his thoughts on thigh-high boots, the military look, pussy bows and more.
Tough Girl
2 of 11"A girl in a leather skirt or pants probably plays pool and drinks single-malt Scotch. She's cool and a little bit badass. But a full-on leather ensemble? Not unless she also rides a Harley and packs heat."
Seeing Red
3 of 11"It's the color of passion—and bullfighter capes and warning signs—but it begs the question: Are you wearing red or is red wearing you? If you find that guys are asking out your dress and ignoring you, it might be time to turn it down a few shades."
Fit to be Tied
4 of 11"If you've got something big and floppy around your neck that serves no purpose, get rid of it—particularly if you work around heavy machinery. As Gertrude Stein said after Isadora Duncan was strangled by her own scarf: 'Affectations can be dangerous.'"
Don't Be a Slouch
5 of 11"These pants are cute if they're just slightly slouchy, but as the payload space increases, the cuteness plummets. Plus they make me think you might be hiding nunchucks in there."
The Fine Print
6 of 11"Unless you're performing at the Grand Ole Opry, I would like to gently discourage you from wearing this outfit."
How High?
7 of 11"Yes, these boots are sexy—how could they not be? But they also bring out the prude in me, especially when soccer moms wear them in the coffee shop at 7:30 a.m. (I live in Los Angeles). Essentially, these are pants without the pants part—your kids should never know you own a pair."
Sir, Yes, Sir!
8 of 11"I've just double-parked my Bugatti on the streets of Zurich, late for a G-20 meeting. The Swiss meter maid approaches, and she's dressed in one of these outfits. Fantasy aside, I like fashion that toys with power dynamics, and these styles are a big step up from the oversize army jackets of the early 2000s."
Loafing Around
9 of 11"These shoes are the only thing that Benjamin Franklin and Elton John would likely agree on. You, on the other hand, should steer clear."
A Sheer Thing
10 of 11"I like this style when it's subtle. But beware: Undergarments should be hinted at, not paraded about under gauzy curtains. Class and moderation are key."
Fur Real
11 of 11"What's not to like about a trend that nods to Barbarella and Dr. Zhivago? If it's faux fur, ride this trend 'til the wheels come off: full-length chinchilla, matted yak, Russian mink shapka hats. If it's real, proceed with caution."
