Unless you are buying a kimono, the phrase “dragon design on…” should not apply to any article of clothing. ---

Ick. Hideous. Stylish, they may be (hey, I’m sitting at my desk wearing a pair of men’s lounge pants and a sweatshirt; no makeup, haven’t even really brushed my hair today; I am _not_ the person you want to talk to about ‘stylish’), but that does not prevent them from being horrid. OTOH, I think we should all PayPal **Isamu** five bucks for the laugh!🆒 ---

They look like the perfect complement for a pair of “pre-bent” designer jeans and an Ed Hardy tee, IMO. In other words, ewwwwwwwwwwww. ---

Waaaaaay too busy. On the other hand, I could use a good pair of Ruin Loafers. ---

They would look great with a pair of zubaz pants, a camelhair blazer/San Jose Sharks hoodie combo and a herringbone tweed razorbill cap. ---

My first reaction? Oh, dear God–what IS that? My second reaction: Hideous. Too busy, too badly proportioned, too “I’m a boot that 's trying too hard”. Looking at the rest of that designer’s “line”, all I can say is it is a line that no man in my life will be crossing, ever.
