Playboy and Playboy

Dandy style is a language aimed at men who pay attention to dressing up and dress luxuriously. Playboy is not suitable as dandy's translation.

British playboy and China playboy have their own historical background and cultural color. When we reluctantly tie them together, we can't forget the ambiguity between them. Maybe we can say that Dandy is an English playboy. As early as 1833- 1834, Thomas Carroll described it like this: "His career, his office, and his existence are just to make up his clothes. And every part of his soul, mind, wallet and body is devoted to how to dress better and more beautifully: so others dress to live, and he lives to dress. " Here, playboy is regarded as a victim of fashion. His fascination with clothes is like the beautiful boy in ancient Greece who was obsessed with his own reflection and plunged into the water.

There is an interesting story about a playboy named brummer in the18th century, who kept a meticulous habit and didn't care about clothes for a long time after being down and out. It is said that he spends several hours every morning finishing his finishing procedures, including washing milk bath, polishing holes in shoes and so on. Playboy provides conversation material for well-meaning teasing, but the story also illustrates a problem, that is, Playboy sometimes doesn't care so much about what he wears, but more importantly, how to wear it. This is not a clothing concept worth advocating now. Of course, the vast majority of dude, wearing brand-new luxury clothes, go in and out of high-end places and spend money like water, so don't worry about financial problems. A gentleman in a white suit and white shoes is a dude, which seems to be a far cry from our image of a somewhat effeminate prodigal son. In contrast, American Playboy is somewhat close.

Playboy, which most people know, is a common fashion brand in the domestic market. In America, they will say that Playboy is a magazine, which is famous all over the world and has a very large circulation. This magazine is aimed at men who pursue femininity and other material comforts. It can be said to be an exquisite and elegant pornographic magazine. The magazine was founded in 1953, and soon achieved great commercial effects. Later, it developed into a comprehensive playboy company and established a subsidiary of Playboy Club. Seeing a man wearing a Playboy T-shirt or a Playboy belt will remind people of Humphrey, the notorious founder of the magazine, and those middle-aged men who look at beautiful women with buttons on their shirts. Seeing the girls wearing playboy clothes reminds me of those ugly photos in this magazine, and the waitresses in the Playboy Club, wearing short skirts and a simulated rabbit tail on their hips, are used to the excessive behavior of male guests.

Playboy and Playboy parted ways in different cultural backgrounds.

Playboy and metrosexual.

In a sense, it is difficult for us to completely distinguish playboy from dude. But one thing we can be sure of is that the so-called "dude style" is to a great extent a portrayal of the style of urban yuppie youth, so we have to mention the new word "urban handsome man" here. It is such a word that perfectly combines this style with urban men.

The word "metro" mainly refers to metropolis. In the 1990s, "metrosexual" refers to a man who lives in a metropolis, is rich and is keen on fashion and beauty.

Nowadays, urban handsome men are considered to be mature, super narcissistic and heterosexual, aged 265,438+0 to 35, and worried about getting old. The representatives of metropolises are David Beckham and Australian swimmer ian thorpe.

A metrosexual is described as a man with a light orange shirt in the closet, not gay. But they don't care too much about themselves or conceit. In life, staying with your partner for life and giving birth to healthy and happy children are the two most important things for them.

They have feminine characteristics to adapt to the increasingly blurred world of gender.

They describe themselves as sympathetic, educated and cheerful, but this has nothing to do with sex appeal. Although I like kylie minogue, there is no scandal.

They try their best to shape their bodies. They are in favor of using male beauty products, but they are against plastic surgery.

They think that good clothes will help them get the upper hand in their work.

They are not interested in munitions and personal heroism, and hope that their friends can support them unconditionally.
