Andy Hirst: Can you look greater than a style 'crater'?

IT may have passed you by but recently there was Men’s London Fashion Week.

Actually, come to think of it, if you’re a married bloke with kids it will definitely have passed you by.

And if you're a single man with plenty of disposable income you may have been tempted to take a sneak look as to how you ought to look.

And, if you’re a woman, you may well have taken a long, lingering look at all those chiselled jaws complete with just the right amount of stubble that probably takes far longer to manicure than a straightforward shave.

And, of course, the jaws are on the faces of the UK’s most handsome (or perhaps we should use the more modern and acceptable word, beautiful) men with their perfect six-packs.

That's on their stomachs, not what your average British bloke would be clutching straight from the fridge after a long hard week. That’s four cans plus two free on special offer.

But at least we fashion unconscious men got our revenge when we saw the UK’s finest flaunting their stuff on the catwalk.

Take these examples that I doubt are going to take off anywhere fast

Fed up of facing the world? No problem. Break up a wooden crate, glue it back together in some haphazard state, paint it and then stick it on your visage for that ‘crater’ face man about town look.

Although be careful going through doors as they may not be wide enough.

Failing that, what about some woolly thinking and what better than a hat that looks ten times too big and a rolled neck jumper to match.

And, yes, it does say ‘please kill me’ on the front.

Perhaps that would be too kind a fate.

OK, extreme examples that will grab the headlines, but when the missus goes on about your lack of fashion sense, don one of these outfits, show her the photographs and reveal you're dangerously at the cutting edge of fashion.

Then ask if she’d be comfortable being seen with you in public dressed like that.

And you’ve done it, you’ve turned the fashion tables on her at last.

For women fashion is a want, rarely a need. For many men it's a need with a bit of want thrown in.

So what does Prime Minister David Cameron wear?

At the start of Men's London Fashion Week he revealed it was ‘a Richard James suit, Oliver Sweeney shoes and M&S pants.’

If he gave Richard his suit back and returned those shoes to Oliver he'd be dressed just like me.
