Hana: Recent Switches
Hana Pesut
Switcheroo is the term coined by this gifted Canadian photographer for this fascinating experiment: she takes pictures of couples interchanging their outfits.The results are fascinating: more often that not, the male partner looks much better in his spouse's clothing!
At times, the female half, no matter how pretty she may be, looks awful in her mate's apparel (below), proving, as if further proof were needed, just how unflattering male clothing may be.
And at a very few times, there are almost no results: the couple looks quite alike before and after the switch: the couple wore similar, gender-free clothes to start with. (That'll probably be our case if my wife and I were shot by Miss Pesut!) Those are New Males, I guess:

Japanese Streets
When it comes to men fashion freedom, one of the very best street fashion blogs around is Kjeld Duits' Japanese Streets.
The reason? Not only the photographers excellent pics, but mostly the Japanese youngsters displaying their unbiased originality, and unprejudiced sense of style.
This is only a brief update. You should visit the weblog for more detailed views (and for the girl looks, which are also worth checking out).

Tokyo Street Flair
By any standards, Japanese young men should be counted among the freer from traditional social restraints when it comes to fashion.
At least when we're talking about the lads circulating around the district of Harajuku in Tokyo.
If you want to "blend in" with the guys there, you better wear skirts, dresses, makeup, or even high heels.
Are they also letting go the discriminatory attitudes towards females that used to practiced by their ancestors?
One only hope they are. Anyways, that's something we should ask their girlfriends...
Kenta Ashi
He's the one on the left (just in case...), a graphic designer.
He's wearing a skirt seemingly made out of a traditional kimono, and he complements that time-honoured Asian garment with several Gothic elements

It's is Japanese, of course.
But nowadays the browser translating widgets do all the hard work.

He's a student. In his case, the traditional component is a pair of gheta sandals.
Also in a skirt, he complements it with a fun garment: some long blouse with a hood.

Nothing goes better with leggings than a simple knee-length dress. I can tell!
Enoki Yuta, 18
A specialty school student. Is it only me, or were these wonderful (and much desired) Vivienne Westwood platform shoes inspired precisely by traditional Japanese footwear!
They look great with purple hair!
Last but not least, this cool guy from Harayuku models a wonderful knitted pullover, with graced with pears and blossoming with flower sprouts.
