   I recall reading a Business 2.0 article about how males spend equally the same amount of money on clothes online as do females, if not more so. So where’s the guy version of all of this?

   Could that possibly be true? All of these sites encourage male users, there just don’t seem to be that many who join.

   I’m cycling through my brain as to where I read the article. It may not be Business 2.0. Fortune? Fast Company? It was a couple months ago that talked about the trend for purchases done by males online and I recall it even broke down the types of males demographics: the graduated frat boys, corporate types, metrosexuals, dads and blah blah. Ugh I have to find the article to quote it properly.

   I think a divide has to be present. Guys won’t turn to these sites. Ever. But if GQ or Esquire pulls some resources together and puts up a site with a similar model I’m sure it can be quite popular.

   Alaska, Men might spend an equal amount as women, but the ways in which they talk/walk about clothing and fashion is completely different. While StyleDiary works well, a man’s site probably would not. (does not mean it should not be made). But could you really see Arrington, Calacanis, etc. showing off their latest clothing for the day?

   I marketed consumer products to women for 10 yrs and really learned a ton about how different the sexes are.

   December 23rd, 2006 at 3:48 am

   You’re right, Allen. But when you step outside the echochamber you’ll know real men have never heard nor care about TechCrunch and et al.

   But they do have multiple subscriptions to Maxim, Stuff, GQ, Esq, and maybe even Cargo. All of them have the requisite fashion pieces, and should that be aggregated that’s a lot of data that with the right presentation and right advertising backing could be quite lucrative.

   I would love to know how to dress better, as of now all I do is go on a shopping trip three times a year with a couple gals, and to know the quality of expensive suits that I’m going to drop $3k on or which label offers bespoke couture.

   I’m not even aware of any websites doing this besides independent bloggers. It seems quite interesting.

   Alaska - I completely agree - I was kidding about the arrington/calacanis - just a joke.

   I agree that the Maxim’s of the world are hot - and it’s not just for the pics. I met with a style consultant this year in London and had a great time - she said not enough men do this. She helped me figure out which colors work, which type of clothing, accessories and so forth to wear with my body/face shape.

   Maybe it could work. While men read the mags for the tips, would they want to share them in public? Have you seen the man law commercials?

   I of course would love a site like that.

   @Alaska: Cargo mag went belly up earlier this year. It seems that there weren’t enough metrosexual men to support a shopping magazine. (As a side note: When I worked in e-commerce, I had a product featured in Cargo mag’s holiday shopping guide, and the referrals from Cargo were dismal…)

   As for the chick in the Share Your Look screenshot, while I lean towards J.Crew and Ann Taylor, at least I know that a black bra does not go with a see through blouse.

    Great to see TC although sticking to featuring startups…focus on something that most of us can relate to - fashion.

    However, hard to see how the quality pictures will ever improve beyond a certain point as I dont see someone getting an outfit and going through the trouble to get a close to professional shot taken…its not going to happen.

    “As for the chick in the Share Your Look screenshot, while I lean towards J.Crew and Ann Taylor, at least I know that a black bra does not go with a see through blouse. ”

    True.

    No bra is the preferred configuration with a see through top. Especially if young hollywood is to be believed.

    Michael thanks for an amazing article! Yay!!

    Actually, we’ve got quite a few guys on StyleDiary now and we have seen new ones join. It’s odd but most at this time are coming from other countries, especially Germany and the Netherlands, but the mens market overall in fashion is having a bit of a revolution - the web’s actually given you guys some options to shop, versus your choices only being Gap, Banana, Levi’s Dockers, etc. - so the interest in style is growing. We just recently pulled some photos of male members from our community - you can see that on the “Street Style” page a few archives back.

    @ Search engine web, email me at info@stylediary.net - nearly every friend I have is in the fashion business, all are more than happy to donate clothes and jewelry to fellow girls. Maybe she’ll want to create a stylediary to document her quest for the pagent, what she puts together, etc. - that’d actually be a really fun article for our editorial.

    pro-seo, another hey. I am also a big techie who would rather have a blackberry pearl then a pearl necklace. And just so you know, men won’t get blamed for women’s obession with appearance. Most women dress for themselves and to share with their friends. That is exactly why sites like these have a great chance of working.

    And by the way, I got a blackberry because a (female) friend of mine had one. So women look to other women not only for style but for technology trends.

    Patricia -

    Style Diary looks like a great site for my girls - I am going to have them check it out today…

    I did not spend too much time checking it out (so I am not sure if you have this revenue stream) - but have you thought about adding a feature where the girls can put together outfits from online stores around the world (using Style Dairy’s affiliate ID) and Style Diary splits the affiliate commission with the “designer” of the mix and matched outfits if a visitor or member decides to buy. If you do not have this - it could be fun for your community and a great revenue stream.

    Good Luck!

    I’m with Beth B…I spend my time and money on nifty electronic toys. But the fashionistas of the world would probably think the time I spend on electronics and gaming is wasted on mindless crap. I think it’s a relative term

    If we’re going to use mindless crap as a relative term, then I would also say men spend time on stuff women (and a fair amount of other men) consider “mindless crap”…fantasy football, anyone?

22. vanguyafo
    

    December 23rd, 2006 at 10:38 am

    I think men and women view fashion sites differently. Women are interested in browsing and do a lot more window shopping and then buy while men go into look at an item and they buy it if they’re interested and then leave, they don’t want to waste time browsing and connecting with other men on fashion in a social networking arena. Also, sometimes, their wifes or girlfriends accompany them on shopping trips and help with the purchase decisions.

    IMHO, a site that combines items for both men and women will probably not appeal to men as much as women. A site that’s dedicated to men will probably work better.

    Fashion/style PR has also been one of the fastest to embrace and acknowledge the power of bloggers. Great piece on this in the WSJ about 2 months ago. Most top tier fashion PR firms now culivate a list of A list bloggers to invite to seasonal shows and they are regularly courted and pitched by designers who have figured out that the call to action is a click away.

    I would believe men and women spend the same on clothes online but that’s where fashion spending equality ends. I can only assume - based on marketing alone - that women spend more in general on clothes, accessories, hair, perfumes, make-up and plastic surgery than men. Each of those things participates in fashion, and I think women tend to like going shopping more than men. Although I would say that things like Treos and Blackberries have become tech accessories and do participate in fashion. Ten years ago that wasn’t the case, but now they do. Still, the gap is wide - even in metrosexual cities like San Francisco, I would venture to guess the ratio of women’s boutiques to men’s is at least 3:1.

    Interesting…
    The first comment wasn’t about the combination of social networking & fashion blogging or how women are one of the fastest growing segments on the web or how these websites tap into the way women communicate about fashion (friend to friend) or even how these networks/sites are an excellent way for marketers to access and influence buyers for a variety of products, not just fashion (autos, food, etc).

    No… the first comment was on how to make it work for men. You don’t need fashion sense, but economic sense to understand the numbers.

    December 23rd, 2006 at 3:22 pm

    @ Dave G, yes!! we have a lot of stores on the site and a lot of really cool plans in our revenue model. Also, because we have the editorial articles, we can also write about and promote stores, stylists, etc. in our community and that opens up another opportunity for them - that’s kind of one of the reasons why we have more than just the community on the site. We understood early on that social networking sites would probably evolve into media platforms, other ways to interact, etc. - all the usual stuff I’m always saying when I post comments on TC. Thank you so much for offering to tell your girls about it!! I hope they join!!

    As far as men and clothes go, I’ve worked with a lot men regarding fashion - there’s definitely a difference in how much they’ll go through/how long they’ll go through it versus women but the male market has been very underserved so alot is changing right now. A good pair of designer jeans and a tee will go a long way for a guy but never feel enough for most women who love clothes and style. Fashion for men is always more about the individual pieces versus elaborate combinations of items as it is with girls.

    Women indeed are the fastest growing segment on the web - in fact, women users are growing more than all users combined! they’re also statistically more interactive, not to mention apparel drives a lot of ecommerce online - I think that’s a big reason why we’re seeing lots of tech companies moving into the space right now. It’s really exciting for the legacy players like us (or Budget Fashionista, who is posting in this thread).

    Recently I was talking with some friends and the wife remarked, “I don’t understand how you guys can spend so much time playing video games.” I thought for a moment. How was it that girls didn’t waste time like that? Then I realized they did - but on something else. Clothing. Style. Makeup. Hair. We all have our time wasters, but usually they are divided by gender.
    Anyways, I know exactly what you mean about not having anything to add to the conversation. Before I met my wife I would oftentimes wear pants and shirts of the same color since they “matched.” After I married my wife she would not allow me to leave in the morning without her seeing me first, and I was never allowed to wear the same color - as I was informed this was not a “match” at all and rather looked completely dorky.
    My wife trusts me to dress myself now, but she still likes to buy my clothes (and I don’t mind - I hate clothes shopping), but she buys me “stylish” stuff when I would prefer my comfortable ragged clothes (no leaving the house in stained or ripped clothing!).

    Very cool post, very cool sites!

    pro-SEO: Women dress to impress other women, not to impress men. Beth B’s comment is right on the money.

    David Mackay: Having your wife dress you is a double-edge sword. On theP one hand, she knows what she likes to keep herself attracted to you. On the other hand, she may very well be dressing in a way that signals to other women that you are very much married, i.e., “keep your hands off bitch, this one is mine.” See comment above.

    vanguyafo: “Shopping” can be explained in evolutionary psych terms as the “gatherer” term in the “hunter/gatherer” equation.

    For you single guys looking for “fashion advice:” Don’t think “fashion,” think “style.” Style is actually a tougher nut to crack, but worth it. The look you want is the one that says to women you are attracted to: “This guy dates women like me.” Example: if you like little goth girls, dressing like a lumberjack probably won’t help (in general).

    @ Dave you’re absolutely right on the money See? guys get it!

    It’s flattering to see so many sites start up based on our concept!! for us, we created stylediary (back in August 2004 - we added the community and new design you see today in May 2005) because i saw that people were really inspired and interested in what other people wearing, and that no other media really did anything like it. I hope that more fashion and shopping startups continue to develop, hopefully with fresh ideas, because as the current market leader and also a long time online fashion participant, there are so many things people would respond and want that nobody’s creating. The fashion/shopping niche is a good one but it’s been sooo underserved - we have been really supportive of the new ideas coming into the space for this reason and will continue to so please keep us in mind when you roll things out. There are definitely a lot of places to play online - if anybody wants to email me on some of the things I think can work or that are missing in the market, I’d be happy to share insight. We’ve been knee deep in this stuff for a long time, we’d love to see more for the girls (and guys) in our market.

    And while this is a dissenting view, and dissenting views can be dealt with harshly on social sites, I just wanted to say I actually didn’t like the title of this article “Women. Clothes. Style. Ugh…” I know it was meant to be tongue in cheek and edgily non-PC, but it made me sad.

    And I was wondering whether anyone who asks why women don’t present more at conferences–or generally put forward their voices more assertively in forums like this–sees a connection between that phenomenon and the fact that a prominent member of “the community” feels confident giving a blog entry a title like one written by a squeamish 10 year old boy about icky yucky girls.

    And for the women who let it be known that they’re not one of “those girls”…I understand the impetus to do so (i.e., letting it be known they’re not of the bubblehead ilk so that maybe the guys who rank in the social hierarchy expressing this opinion will like them; and conveying their approval of gadgets over fashion signaling they should be taken seriously), but it doesn’t do any of us any good.

    And for people who say lighten up, or “we don’t know you anyway so your opinion doesn’t matter to us,” that’s ok! The above just needed to be said.

    December 23rd, 2006 at 9:10 pm

    @ susan doran - I think you bring up an interesting inquiry (about women as presenters, etc), I just had this come up in a podcast interview not long ago. It’s a great topic! I actually see a lot of women presenters and voices out there - I think there are something like 8 of them on the roster for the Web 2.0 conference in 2007, one of the leading researchers in social networking (danah boyd) speaks quite often, I was at a internet video panel discussion for the entertainment industry not long ago and a woman from google was among the speakers - I think the overall perception of there not being a lot of women in these roles comes more from our only just evolving in the business and in the industry versus men not wanting us around. I actually have never had anybody male or female in tech disregard my thoughts or knowledge. But, this of course is all based on my experience. I think it’s actually a really exciting time for women in tech!

    I won’t lie - I’d take Manolos over a Blackberry ANY day and have no qualms saying so I’m actually proud to be a girl who likes fashion and clothes but can then also kick some ass talking about the direction I think video content sites should go, back-end ecommerce technologies or IMS and telecommunications.

Do you really think the term women belongs with ‘ugh’ and ‘fashion?’ Sure, there are tons of fashion slave women, but men too, and for every fashionista female, there are tons of us who find the term women to belong more words like ‘thinking’ and ‘communicating’ and ‘yeah’ than ‘ugh.’ No thanks to you for fostering a more balanced view of women in tchnology.

    This article sparked a fascinating sequence of comments that reflect alot about our culture and the blogosphere. I share Michael’s view that ” the protagonist in The Devil Wears Prada looked better before she started dressing in the latest styles.”

    As a former tomboy- turned NBC commentator and WSJ reporter I quickly became aware of the number of women who were prone to discuss my clothing and hairstyle more than the stories I covered.

    Some things do not change. Few places online cover what women 45+ really like and want. As a non-geek with a passionate interest in the propensity of the internet to bring out the best and worst in others, I (and two partners) are launching an onlien network that will reward the best tips for making the lives of women in their prime, 45+ easier and more joyful.

    SavvyHer launches later in January. Anyone join, read, contribute and vote on tips. Each month they can vote on their ten favorite tips. Winners receive gifts worth over $1,000 from SnapJot, Brondell Swash and Karen Neuberger.

    Membership includes a directory of tips and members (easy to find “tagged” categories), weekly eNewsletter and monthly poll. Winners’ tips will also be featured in the annual book Savvy Tips for Savvy Women:The Best of SavvyHer, 2007.

    Most of the readers of TecchCrunch are considerably more tech-savvy than I am so it is with some trepidation thaat I post this - yet I know your insights will be helpful. - Kare, SavvyHer.com

    I run shefinds.com — also started in 2004 — and while I am intrigued by all the talk about social media I wonder about the age demo that is attracted to it. Our audience median age is 34 — I’m personally 35 — and I just don’t know that I have the time nor desire to post photos of myself — heck I can’t even keep up a myspace page.
    that being said our curated reader’s picks bra guide is our best converting feature — also #1 in google search for best bras — http://shefinds.com/bras

    What is the average age of the audience for these social fashion sites?

    What I think all our sites are trying to solve — shefinds, glam, thisnext, stylediary is the issue of product discovery — since we’re not cruising the mall window shopping anymore something needs to entice us.

    Your site is a refreshing change from the majority of sites I have visited. When I first started visiting web sites I was excited by the potential of the internet as a resource and was very disappointed initially. You have restored my enthusiasm and I thank you for your efforts to share your insights and help the world become a better place.

    I’m the co-founder of ChickAdvisor.com. We’re in a similar space. I find this whole conversation hilarious!

    The beautiful thing about the internet is that there is something out there for everyone. Guys, you don’t understand the fascination some women have with fashion and that’s fine. You don’t have to get our websites, because like Michael said, it’s not for you!

    Also, just because a site focuses on fashion doesn’t mean that is all that defines us as women, it’s just one part of something we enjoy spending our time on.

    For the guys that feel left out, there are sites that offer fashion advice for men too, there are just less of them because as most of you have demonstrated above, you’re not as interested.

    If sites like Patricia’s or Shefinds or many of the other ones out there including ours lean towards fashion and beauty, it is not meant to be a social commentary on the intelligence or capabilities of women. It’s supposed to be fun!
