The only way wearing a bee could qualify as showing off is if you were actually around people who had any idea what it is, and the chances of that are slim to none in most places. 99.9% of people would think a Polo horse or Lacoste crocodile is more showoff-ish.belletrist said:

The latter is classy slim - I like to think of it as French chic slim (for non-Dior references, see APC catalogue [although it's arguable that brand is slim fitting, or Tati's films especially Playtime - 
those pants)sonicyooth said:Two points:
1. There's slim (D&G, Dsquared) and there's SLIM (Dior Homme, Helmut Lang, old Raf Simons). The former tends to be tacky, gaudy, show-every-muscle&balls slim.
2. Other brands may claim to be slim but searching for size S is like looking for needles in a haystack, therein lies the concept of opportunity costs.
I'm surprise no brand caters to the slim market before Dior Homme (Prada, HL and Raf Simons are the closest). Look who is laughing all the way to the bank now.
On Helmut Lang, I always found a strange discrepancy between the way runway items seemed to be fitted and the actual retail garments. For the size, Helmut Lang pretty damn brutally slim, not in a skinny Dior way, more like a "you can almost make it but sorry your *** and thighs are too fat" fit...How terribly mean! But you'd never know it based on how his stuff is worn on the runway. Go figure, maybe that was his mistake in positioning the brand?sonicyooth said:
