In case the women's clothes weren't crazy enough for you, now it's time to check out what's been happening in Paris' Haute Couture Fashion Week on the men's side of things!

We're happy to admit that dressing fashionably is harder for a man than it is for a woman. And that being said, it's harder for a man to totally commit a fashion faux-pas than it is for a woman. So men's designers have quite the challenge ahead of them -- how to make clothes that will make a guy stand out without looking like a total weirdo.

Wear tight pants (particularly in shiny metallics) and you run the risk of showing off a little too much of your, ahem, junk. Although, Belgian designer Kris Van Assche for Dior apparently doesn't think that's much of an obstacle.

We were also about to make a science goggles joke about the neon orange protective lenses sunglasses some of the models' were wearing, but then we looked again at the male models and realized something important -- men that hot can wear anything.

Check out the gallery to see more men's fashion, including pink reindeer antlers and medieval jester costumes.
