It is often difficult for people to find anything that you can bring into your own life when it comes to haute couture except for the entertainment factor. That's what we're here for – to pull the haute trends from the runway and deliver them to you in wearable form.

After visiting the house of designer's like Jean Paul Gaultier and Valentino via YouTube, we've uncovered the biggest trend that was shown on nearly every haute couture runway.

Drum roll please...

Men of the world, please listen to me: I don't want to see your upper thigh -- and, chances are, nobody else wants to gawk at your hairy, flabby man stems either.

Yet some runway designers (and even some men's fashion blogs) are advocating a return to the kind of revealing menswear that's best left to the 1970s. Now that the spring looks we saw on runways last fall are finally making their way to the street, expect to see a little more leg from your fashion-forward buddies.

But never fear: you don't have to join this trend. There's plenty of ways to look good, stay cool, and avoid dressing like some annoyingly endogenous, American-Apparel style hipster. So have some self respect, damnit, and check out five more modest options that offer a more manly amount of coverage.

We recently brought you news that Australian researchers made a dress from wine. That's pretty weird, but wasn't exactly the most attractive garment I've ever seen.

This dress, however, is pretty good looking, and is made entirely from human hair.

Attendees at the fashion show where it was unveiled were a little stunned when it came prancing down the runway, modeled by Simona Gotovac. That's not exactly surprising -- as, at first, it looks like that might actually be the model's hair dangling down by the ground. Plus, judging by the picture, it must have moved differently than any dress made from traditional materials.

So, are you going to start seeing human hair dresses at your local fashion boutique? Probably not. Designers needed 165ft of blond hair to create the dress, and I can't imagine that's easy to come by.

But even if you could buy the dress, the question is: would you wear it?
