In a Walmart the other day and I finally spotted a guy wearing a purse. Black cross body bag, not overtly feminine but not a man bag either. I have been keeping a close eye and just not have seen any here in the Midwest US. I am happy to relinquish my role as a trailblazer! :-)
This older guy did not present as CD at all in my view. A little frumpy perhaps but whatever. So I will continue to use my purse in drab when needed or when I feel like it and hope a few others join in.
I love to shop for them and find them to really make a fashion statement. The variety, like most things fem, seems endless.
