Alright, alright, let’s yak about these men in sheer clothing, you know, them see-through shirts and such. I saw some pictures online, them young fellas prancing around. Makes an old woman like me scratch my head, I tell ya.
First off, what in tarnation is a “sheer” shirt anyway? Sounds fancy-schmancy. I reckon it just means you can see right through it, like lookin’ through a dirty window. Now, why a man would wanna wear somethin’ like that is beyond me. Back in my day, men wore sturdy clothes, stuff that could withstand a hard day’s work. Denim, cotton, you know, the real deal. None of this flimsy, see-through business.
- Work Clothes Back Then: We had them thick overalls, tough as nails. Kept ya warm in the winter and protected ya from the sun in the summer.
- Sunday Best: Even for church, men wore proper shirts, nothin’ you could see through. Maybe a nice tie, a good jacket. Respectable, ya know?
- This Newfangled Stuff: These sheer shirts…I just don’t get it. Looks like somethin’ a woman would wear, or maybe a little kid on a hot day. But a grown man? Hmph.
Now, they say it’s all about fashion. Fashion this, fashion that. Seems to me like fashion is just an excuse to wear silly clothes. They say it’s about bein’ “comfortable and confident.” Well, I reckon I’m most comfortable in my old cotton dress and apron, and I’m plenty confident in that, thank you very much.
And where are they wearin’ these see-through shirts, anyway? The young fellas in them pictures, they’re at parties, dancin’ and such. Okay, fine. But I heard they’re wearin’ ’em to other places too. To work? To the store? Goodness gracious. Imagine goin’ to the bank and seein’ the teller in a shirt you can see right through. Wouldn’t that be a sight?
They talk about layering too. Put a jacket over the sheer shirt, they say. Well, what’s the point of the see-through shirt then? It’s like wearin’ a fancy slip under a plain dress. Nobody sees it, so why bother? It’s all just a waste of money if you ask me.
And another thing, they call it a bold statement. Bold statement? What kinda statement is it? “Look at me, I’m wearin’ a shirt you can see through”? Is that supposed to be impressive? Back in my day, a bold statement was standin’ up for what’s right, workin’ hard, and takin’ care of your family. Not prancin’ around in see-through clothes.
I even read somewhere that this “sheer” stuff is made of lace sometimes. Lace! That’s for doilies and curtains, not for men’s shirts. It’s just plain silly, if you ask me. I can’t even begin to imagine my husband, bless his soul, wearin’ somethin’ made of lace. He’d turn over in his grave!
Some folks say it’s all the rage, this craze for sheer shirts. Well, I’ve seen crazes come and go. Remember them bell bottoms? Them platform shoes? They were all the rage for a while, and then poof, they were gone. This sheer shirt thing will probably be the same. Give it a few years, and folks will be back to wearin’ proper clothes.
And let’s not forget about event appropriateness, whatever that means. Fancy words for knowin’ what to wear where. You wouldn’t wear your work boots to a weddin’, would ya? Same goes for these sheer shirts. Wear ’em to a party if ya must, but don’t go wearin’ ’em to church or to a job interview. Common sense, ain’t it?
So, there you have it. My two cents on these men in sheer clothing. It ain’t for me, that’s for sure. I’ll stick to my good ol’ cotton dresses and aprons. At least I know I’m covered up and comfortable. And that’s all that matters to this old woman.
And if these young fellas wanna wear see-through shirts, well, that’s their business. But I still think it’s a mighty peculiar thing to do. Maybe they’ll grow out of it. Or maybe they won’t. Either way, I’ll just keep shakin’ my head and wonderin’ what the world’s comin’ to. This “sheer” fad, like all fads, will pass. Mark my words.
