    • Not only has H&M decided men would look good in pleated skirts come spring, they think they’re best paired with tights and a shirt with a dream catcher on it. Are there any words? Because we can’t find them.
    • This fringe jacket could work on the right girl, paired with skinny jeans or even layered shorts and tights. But on a dude? Not so much.
    • Oh lookie, our favorite harem pants. As shorts. With a tie-dye scarf. It’s like we’ve died and gone to style reject heaven.
    • We were almost willing to let the scarf slide—maybe if it were wrapped around a few times—and then we saw the sandals. Hell-to-the-no.
    • Um, this sweater isn’t complately awful. The acid wash vest, however, is perhaps better suited for a shirtless muscle man like Fabio. Or a wannabe punk who’s late to the party.
    • We’re into the idea of a man in a purple cardigan, but this guy looks like he went shopping in his younger sister’s closet.
    • A French friend once told us that French people hate orange. Just because. Well, we may not be French, but we hate this jacket, and this hat. And all the silly scarves and those darn sandals!

H&M
We know fancy designer labels like Prada are willing and able to take fashion risks, but the spring 2010 look book for mass retailer H&M has some very surprising pieces for men. Like fringe jackets, tie-dye scarves, harem pants, and, um, skirts, to name a few. Sure Marc Jacobs himself can pull off a skirt, but can you picture even the most fashionably daring men you know seeking out and wearing a skirt from H&M?

Browse through other choice selections from the collection and let us know if you think H&M has pushed the limit. [Hypebeast]

    when i was in highschool i would see kids at punk shows wearing skirts all the time. and they were about the most masculine guys you could imagine. and, H&M is a european company, and manskirts are not that outrageous in europe. i saw guys in skirts in denmark when i was there a couple years ago. americans need to loosen up.

    H&M may be a european country, but marketing this clothing to americans is a huge mistake. probably about 95% of men in this country wouldn't be caught dead in this stuff. We all know that the only reason guys even take showers and try to dress nicely is to impress women, and I honestly don't see any woman being attracted to a man in these crazy get-ups. I predict H&M will be losing a lot of money on this one.

    I kind of dig kilts. Not a fan of fringe or harem pants on anybody.
