Week 10 BOC: Metrosexual Relevant Today


The term metrosexual once was a term used to describe straight men that took care of themselves as one would say. They were the guys that cut their hair, took daily showers, and were into wearing nice clothing. etrosexual is a neologism derived from metropolitan and heterosexual coined in 1994 describing a man (especially one living in an urban, post-industrial, capitalist culture) who spends a lot of time and money on shopping for his appearance.” The term metrosexual was derived during the 90’s and if you look at movies like Clueless one of the most popular movies during the 90’s you can get a view of the difference of how men used to dress. The men who took care of themselves stood out more compared to how other men who did not care dressed. Though the term metrosexual once was relevant to describe men today every man cares about how they look and dress. Men no longer just role out of bed and throw a hat on they now have soaps and shampoos made for them and more and more skin care lines are marketing to men more then men. Men’s fashion as well has improved though many men do just throw things together the majority today try to put something together to improve their overall appearance.
