Fashionably Unfashionable: Young Scottish Masculinities and Relational Constructions in the Marketplace

Research into men’s consumption and the construction of masculinities has increasingly observed men’s ‘feminisation’ in the marketplace, for example through shopping or clothing practices. This paper seeks to contribute to this research through presenting findings from an ethnographic study, depicting how these are shaped by relational and cultural versions of masculinity.
