Fetish…
Man-bangs (“mangs”)
Illustration: Matty FitzgeraldWorn by
A guy who makes girls (or boys) swoon when he bats his flirty eyes from underneath his fringe. Whether he’s trying to look metro, emo or just trying to cover up a really big forehead, he uses his fringe as dating bait.Patron saint
Pete Wentz is a triple threat: hot band (Fall Out Boy, check), hot wife and baby-mama (Ashlee Simpson, check), hot hair (check plus). Wentz’s sexy, punky fringe is definitely droolworthy.A field guide of their natural habitats
Straight
Species example:
Caleb Brown, 28-year-old Web developer from Greenpoint, BrooklynHow he styles his mangs: finger combs his fringe and then lets it air dry.
“My perfect ten is a cute, outgoing blond who is a bit fashion-forward, but still comfortable in her clothing. And she’s up-front about how she feels, but not crazy (don’t grab my junk in public and tell me you want me).”
The Mark Bar (1025 Manhattan Ave between Freeman and Green Sts, Greenpoint, Brooklyn; 718-349-2340, themarkbar.com) “You’ll see artsy people and rockabillies,” Brown says.
Black Rabbit (91 Greenpoint Ave at Franklin St, Greenpoint, Brooklyn; 718-349-1595, blackrabbitbar.com)
Supreme Trading (213 North 8th St between Driggs Ave and Roebling St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-599-4224)
Lit (93 Second Ave between 5th and 6th Sts; fusegallerynyc.com, 212-777-7987)
Gay
Species example:
Danny Garrity, 25-year-old dancer and singer, who also works the front desk at Vidal Sassoon’s uptown salonHow he styles his mangs: blows them dry, flat irons the front and tousles the back, and then adds hairspray for a texturized look.
“My bangs are my gimmick—people really refer to me as the guy with the swoop. Older women tell me they want my ’do. It’s also popular with lesbians or Rihanna wanna-bes. It’s a pretty androgynous style.”
Splash (50 W 17th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves; 212-691-0073, splashbar.com) “It’s right behind the downtown Vidal Sassoon salon and has a young, gay crowd that’s more accessible than at the ritzier gay bars.”
Marie’s Crisis (59 Grove St between Bleecker St and Seventh Ave South, 212-243-9323) “This is my favorite piano bar!” Garrity gushes. “It’s a theater-nerd gay scene where everyone is singing and drinking. It’s a hoot!”
Hugs (108 North 6th Street between Bedford Ave and Berry St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-599-5959) “This is the destination to find guys in tight jeans with man-bangs.”
Metropolitan (559 Lorimer St between Devoe St and Metropolitan Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-599-4444)
