Lumbersexual

Example of Lumbersexual fashion

Lumbersexual is a portmanteau, derived from lumberjack and metrosexual, coined in 2008 describing a physically fit man who has adopted style traits typical of a traditional lumberjack, namely a beard, plaid shirt, and scruffy hair, as supplement to his otherwise clean-cut and fashionable style choices.[1] Denver Nicks described the trend as perhaps an attempt to "reclaim masculinity".[2] The term "Urban lumberjack" is another term used to describe this same style.[3][4]
