It\u2019s the bowler hat.<\/p>\n
There was a time when every stock broker and jobber at the London Stock Exchange wore one. It was part of the uniform. In fact if you go back far enough many British managers wore the same hard black headgear that was, pretty much anti-sex.<\/p>\n
With one exception that is. A bowler hat on a woman is very, very sexy.<\/p>\n
The juxtaposition of the hat, the hat\u2019s associations with the male establishment and a sexy woman both subverts that establishment and highlights her femininity. It\u2019s like men\u2019s shirts on women, seriously sexy.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think it\u2019s anything to do with cross dressing, though if you\u2019re in to that kind of stuff that\u2019s an added bonus, it\u2019s about contrast. What more of a contrast can you get than a female body in male clothes? Blurring the clothing gender boundaries in everyday life is interesting and is part of developing fashion. At one time the thought that women might wear trousers was scandalous, then through an evolutions of clothing, fashion and driven by necessity trousers became everyday for women.<\/p>\n
Global conflicts played a major part in this as women were utilised as part of the workforce to help the war effort and adopted male clothing in factories, on farms and invaded previously male preserves. When women moved out of the typing pool their suits became more like those of their male superiors but retained the femininity. Thank goodness. I\u2019m all for equality in the workplace and elsewhere but without the differences between us we would lose the contrast I mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n
Thing is, and call me a hypocrite here, I\u2019m not into men wearing women\u2019s clothes. I can understand transvestites for example feeling the urge to express their female sides by wearing women\u2019s clothing, yet the idea leave me cold. On the other hand I know there are women who find the idea of a man just wearing women\u2019s clothing, or even at its most extreme, sissified, a huge turn-on.<\/p>\n
Just foes to prove that the range of sexuality out there is so vast it defies comprehension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
