The Lumbersexual

The Lumbersexual  This is the answer to the metrosexual and the latest thing in men's fashion By Shelley Hazen, Newser Staff .Posted Nov 13, 2014 8:14 AM CST Newser) – He's unshaven, a little dirty, and dresses like a woodsman. No, he's not a slob, he's … sexy? This guy—think Tim "the Tool Man" Taylor, Nick Offerman, or Chuck Norris—is a lumbersexual, apparently. And just what is that? He's the opposite of the shaven and moisturized metrosexual, with all his skinny jeans and hair gel, Gear Junkie explains. The lumbersexual wears an "unkempt beard, nothing tight, plaid, maybe even plaid on plaid, and an appropriate level of disaffection," writes Tom Puzak. "His backpack carries a MacBook Air, but looks like it should carry a lumberjack's axe." But these lovers of the "pseudo-outdoors" live in concrete jungles, sporting their flannel and work<b> boots </font></b>on the streets of LA or New York. "The lumbersexual spends the same amount of money, but looks filthy," writes Aleksander Chan at Gawker. "Both kinds of men are working very hard to fashion themselves into a certain look." And the look came from the gay community, contends Tim Teeman at the Daily Beast. They invented the "smooth, pretty gay metrosexual," and their "hairier brethren," the "bears" and cubs" inspired the lumbersexual. This discussion is about men that have this look for style, not those that are this way because of their work. I guess to each their own. I have no interest in this look. My only comment (s), isn’t it readily apparent that a person is “fronting” and is not who they represent themselves to be? I may be a bit too much into details , but the accessories in some of these examples have clearly never been used. So a couple questions. Have you ever heard of this ‘look” before? Is it attractive to you. Or guys, is it something you would do? Maybe the scent of a sweaty guy?  Look at the pipe. Never been used, pristine condition.    Don’t they have an “app” for that?   |

I enjoy a manly look. But fakes like this do nothing for me

Not attractive to me. The pictures you use as examples are pretty much the pinnacle of this look. If this is as good as it gets, and still doesn't look attractive to me, it's got nowhere to go but down. For the guy on the street who actually attempts this look, it looks bizarre and weird. It looks like he's trying way too hard to find his own unique style ... and instead of "unique" it came out as "outlandish"

I've heard of the lumbersexual look; I think it's part of the hipster fashion. But beards are going oit of fashion now - not that fashion is important. Beards are cyclical in terms of fashion, which is just as well as I can't grow a beard!
