What are some good men's style blogs for someone who hates most men's style blogs? I'm going to pick on Put This On here, because it's among the most visible, although it's far from the only offender. The things that drive me crazy about it, in no particular order, are:
1. The super-condescending "this is how to look like an adult" prescriptive rhetoric,
2. The way that following its advice would basically just have you looking like mid-twentieth century British minor gentry,
3. The narrow perspective on just what style consists of, though maybe that's just a restatement of point two.
So: lay on me the style blogs out there that value pluralism and that have an evaluation rubric other than "what would an old white dude think about this." A hundred years before I see another post extolling the virtues of a herringbone sport coat in Scottish tweed would be too goddamn soon.
