Aims & Scope

 

Critical Studies in Men’s Fashion examines the multi-faceted dimensions of men’s appearance. It uses the holistic definition of dress as a means of examining the tangible and intangible aspects of creating and maintaining appearance. In this journal, topics of gender, identity, sexuality, culture, marketing and business are analysed. This journal is the first to exclusively focus on men’s dress. Men’s dress and fashion have been side-lined in scholarship, and this journal provides a dedicated space for the discussion, analysis and theoretical development of men’s appearance from multiple disciplines.

 

This title is indexed with Scopus and the Web of Science’s Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).
