Prompted by the recent buzz about whether or not certain types of cars are gay, makes us wonder if there is such a thing as a gay store. It's likely that anything too campy or quick to interpret runway trends is gay for men, which makes H&M like the Roxy on Saturday night. Fred Segal -- with its rhinestones and grooming products -- might be bi-curious, yet Barneys and Marc Jacobs, for all their dry humor, are practical enough to ultimately be straight. For the ladies, a gay brand might have built itself on the idea of power suits and severe, dominating attire like Donna Karan; it would likely be leading the charge to bring back the shoulder pad. Conversely, Eileen Fisher, with its muted, Earth-woman palette screams Sappho.

Marc Jacobs's line is totally straight! =)

I dunno if there is a specific men's line that in it's entierty looks gay - like most things, it usually depends on the rest of the outfit and how it works with the person who's wearing it...some things that look gay on me look straight on another guy and vice versa.
