You’ve heard about “Movember”, right? The monthlong campaign that raises awareness about cancers affecting men, and the reason all your guy friends started the month off baby-faced? That’s because the face of this ingenious campaign is the mustache; and men ’round the world are dedicating their upper lips to the cause.
I know it sounds strange, but I’ve always been a teeny bit envious of the stateliness a well-crafted mustache lends to a guy’s look. Simple jeans and T-combo, paired with a mustache on top? That’s a gentleman – at least from the outside. I’ve given serious thought to the type of mustache I’d sport had I been given a “y” chromosome” on my genetic plate. Part Ron Swanson, part Clark Gable. Full perfection.
Thankfully, the Movember campaign doesn’t discriminate, and I don’t have to feel like I’m missing out on the party each time my guy friends post their proud mustache pics online. TOMS Shoes introduced their limited edition style shoes this month so girls and guys alike can get their Movember kicks in. The shoes come in the classic TOMS style for both men and women, and exclusively for men, high-tops that lace up. To mark your commitment to the cause every time you step out, a tiny Gable-esque mustache is printed on the side of the shoe. All proceeds go to the Movember Foundation, funding cancer research and support.
