Gender bender JW Anderson's backless, semi-sheer halter tops for men raised eyebrows at London Men's Fashion Week.
Dry run Another London up-and-comer, Shaun Sampson, showed pale pink organza board shorts and 'skirts' made to look like beach towels.
Frill seekers Martine Roses collection combines feminine elements with inspiration drawn from sports and athletic kits.
Curtain raiser At Alexander McQueen, creative director Sarah Burton opened the show with a fitted suit of white lace.
Skull disclosure The trademark Alexander McQueen skull was woven into the lace designs.
Herd instinct The Topman show featured fanciful cowboys in embroidered florals.
Some fashion trends sneak up on you. Others ring out loud and clear. Last week, as the Spring 14 menswear shows kicked off in London, one trend sounded with all the subtlety of an air horn: androgyny is the new black.

DINGDINGDING! We have a winner.
"Fashion" is an inherently female concept. Men are more attuned to "style" which is not subject to quarterly review....
Or his girl friend beat him up
except for the pink laces, I would wear those. Black or dark dark brown laces would be nice, but you could probably get away with navy blue, grey or even white (especially on a golf course)
but pink? migtht aws well wear a sign “I’m a homo”
In some countries these would be called “ladyboys”
What makes you think these guys aren't Jewish?
Some designers were trying to get men into dresses and using makeup 45 years ago.
They really dressed metro-sexual in certain times in the past...
That being said men should not dress frilly and this is coming from a gal who is a self admitted tom boy!
Can’t hold a candle to Jack Lord in his lacy hat and jaunty scarf from the 1970’s.
I think it’s impressive how CONSERVATIVE, mens fashion has been for the past 100 years. Except for small details (cuffs/no cuffs) a man’s dress suit is virtually identical to what it was 100 years ago.
We pretty much dumped the vest but other than that.....
I cannot imagine anyone walking down my road dressed like that TODAY.
But then I do live in the desert where we wear boots and sidearms.
GAG!!! OK, that’s just not right!
Fabulous. Just freakin' fabulous.
I have one request to make of my fellow FReepers - if any of you ever see me dressed like this, shoot me, please. Twice.
But if it happened now, they'd put guys dressed like that, on the list of hate-crime protected groups.
I think it was a ‘French’ thang............
No. Every few years fashion shows put out these kind of girly guy clothes, and you never see them off the runway.
If it doesn’t say Justin (ok maybe Tony Lama or Nocona too) it isn’t a real boot.
“What makes you think these guys aren’t Jewish?”
Oh, they might be Jewish, like Ms. Lindsey Graham is a Republican, but they are certainly not Orthodox.
Those clothes are all rotten but that first one is in a class by iself.
