I instinctively thought, "oh, the underwear ruins the look." Seriously, if he wore matching black boxers or briefs, it wouldn't have been so bad. He also could have belted the dress to accentuate his figure. I also would have preferred that he wore some kind of diamond jewelry to accentuate his point that men's and women's clothing is beginning to blur.
Having been to a suburban mall or two, it's a fact that even normal every day heterosexual and God loving Americans are starting to dress like the opposite sex. Women dress in polos and khakis with their short and easy to style mom cuts are indiscernible from the equally zaftig men who are poured into their dockers and polos. Slutty men and women have equal propensity to gravitate towards ill fitting spandex clothing.
At some point, we will all be wearing the same make shift tunic and will only be distinguishable by buttons that say whether or not we are male or female or both.
Because I live in a highly imaginative world, looking at Marc in lace wasn't such a shock. In fact, I'm in search of a men's lace shirt. Although I'm less likely go full Johnson like Senor Jacobs, I think that a more covered up lace version of his shirt would be a great transitional seasonal piece that I could layer under sweaters and cardigans. In my head, I imagine wearing a black lace shirt underneath a black cashmere sweater with a silver tie and black blazer. Yes, I would wear pants too.
YES: Lace is for you especially if you're a founding father since it was all the rage at Constitution Hall
NO: Avoid lace if it means raiding your wife's Victoria's Secret collection to patch together a shirt
MAYBE: Using your wife's lace underwear as a pocket square could be a nice touch to a suit.
