Summer Clothes Guys Think Are Sexy... according to Cosmo

Oh, Cosmo.  Your "bedroom tips and tricks" and "most flattering jeans for every body type!" articles are a never ending source of amusement for me.  Clearly your audience is 18-25 year old single women, but so often you prove that the fluff that fills your magazine's pages are written by the same demographic.

I haven't purchased a Cosmo in years.  But once in a while their "articles" show up on my Yahoo newsfeed.  This article about what men really like in summer clothing had me cracking up. 

Mini Skirts

"Seeing some leg is super-sexy—plus tight mini skirts accentuate a girl's butt, which is always a good thing."

— Nathan H.

Well no shit, Cosmo.  Was it really hard to find some dude off the street to include this in your must-have list?

Wedges and Heels

"I like how wedges and heels elongate a woman's legs and highlight the muscles that you wouldn't normally see if she was wearing flats. To me, that's so sexy."

— Nick H. 

I don't have a problem with "wedges and heels" in general, just wedges.  I'm pretty sure that if I ever asked my husband to "grab my pair of tropical print wedges out of the closet" he would have no idea what I was talking about.

Short Shorts and Heels

"I'm a big fan of short shorts with heels. When a girl can make something basic like short shorts, heels, and a tank top look sexy and sophisticated, there's really nothing better."

— Nick R. 

Shorts & Heels?  Really? 

It is at this point that I'm pretty sure the 18-year-old intern at Cosmo is making this shit up.

Flats

"When a women wears flats more so than heels, it shows they're not completely beauty obsessed and are comfortable with themselves. Plus, it's always nice when you can actually get a gauge on their height—in heels that's impossible."

— Teke W. 

Yup.  She's totally making it up.  Or they found a midget on the street who really does prefer flats.


Rompers

"I like when girls don't try too hard to look good; to me, rompers look simple but are still cute."

— Anthony C. 

See "Wedges and Heels."  I can picture my husband now asking "what the f&#$ is a romper?"

Sweats

"Any girl can show a lot of skin or wear tight clothes. I love when she can make sweats sexy."

— Dave M. 

Again, I call bullshit.  There is more eye rolling in my house in the winter months when I come home from work and immediately change into "comfy clothes" than in 90210... the original show AND the new one combined.
