Splitting into two, so one post won't be too long. It seems so much easier to come up with stuff I hate. But since I'm trying to be as positive as I can, I'll come up with some more that I like:

*The trend in menswear to go without a tie even in formal situations. It's freeing. I've never understood the need for a tie. My own husband says they feel like a noose around his neck. He doesn't like jackets either, so when we got married he just wore a plain (but silky) white shirt with dark pants. I like jackets, but I wasn't about to complain. His wedding too.
*Also on men, a neat but not extreme or silly-shaped "box" haircut as popularized by Will Smith.
*Clean, trimmed facial hair, if flattering for the man's face shape. I've seen pictures of hubby when he was younger and had a mustache. I think he looked fantastic with it, and I would love for him to grow one again, but he says he did it for so many years he's sick of it now.
*On me, LONG HAIR!!! I'm pretty passionate about that, actually. I'm pushing 50, and if I hear one more person saying women over 35 shouldn't have long hair, I'll braid mine into a rope and smack them with it. No short, permed, teased, oversprayed helmet head for this old lady! My hair is still thick and healthy, and as long as I can lift my arms to brush it, it's staying at least waist length. (I do trim it back when it reaches to my butt.)
