Opera Bubbles

Oh men! In the second post I’d like to share my thoughts with you about male fashion in the opera world. Now I understand why this topic is not so popular for discussing as men’s wear…let’s say… is not as various as women’s. It’s hard for them to stand out.

It took a lot of time…that’s why I post it so late:), but I strived to enjoy all of them and to make a review the most useful for you!
