A fundamental misconception about modern men is that they can’t shop for clothes. Men in the past may have struggled with the concept (string vests, knotted hankies and moleskin trousers for example) believing it to be a womens job to choose for them and to also clean it all as well. However all this was set to change in the nineteen sixties when the sudden liberal attitudes that the decade brought meant that men could spread their wings and put a bit of colour into their wardrobe. It also saw a great emancipation for women so that they didn’t have to do all the leg work around the growing number of boutique shops.

The nineteen seventies and eighties really started to open the world up to men and their fashions as things became even more expansive. The new Romantic movement for art, fashion and music after the rather uniform leather jacket, t-shirt and jeans Punk years, meant that mens appearance and clothes came into sharp focus.

Today it is not unheard of for men to be allowed out on their own, or in groups to go and find a decent outfit. Help is at hand as the internet has come with lots of advice and websites meaning they don’t even need to go into town. For example, if they need a new set of Mens Aran Sweaters then a quick click to Shamrock Gift  provides a great solution.
