I was paroling the men.style.com website and stumbled upon how fashion designers are dabbling into the chest hair saga. You can check out some of the photos here. I honestly don’t know how I feel about showing off the chest. I have certain physical aspects that I have to take into account when I rock the super-alpha-chest-out style. The first thing I’m going to look at is how my chest hair is looking at the moment. If you’re going to show the chest hair, it better look good with your outfit, facial structure and all that jazz. If it doesn’t you should just shave it off. Now if you’re rocking the hair-free chest, I want to be able to see two things. First is the collar bone. If I don’t get a proper dip or bulge out of the Pectoralis below the bone, I can’t rock the uncovered chest.

If you look at the photo set, you see zero well built men, with the exception of someone who slightly looks like they are working out, our friend the pirate. Now that’s also taking into account that recently the male model has dwindled in size. In a majority of fashion shows they’ve gone from the GQ average model waist size of 31 to as low as 28. Apparently fragile with chest hair is what the fashion industry is trying to dish onto us. Let’s not take into account the Pajama style suit in the middle of this photo shoot from Dolce and Gabanna that made me want to throw up. Or be a mob-boss.

Remember that fashions this small will come and go. Just because they chant to show it, if it’s not in your style, you don’t need to rock it. There are many ways to dress well, and classic style that will always be timeless. I do have an old shirt that falls into this show the chest style, I may bust it out and see what it looks like once again. We’ll see how that goes.
