Shoppenboys: There To Help You Buy

December 17, 2007 | Filed Under Mens Fashion

Can’t figure out what to get that special guy, be it a husband, boyfriend, friend or brother? The good news is there might be a solution to your problem. If you’re shopping in France, that is.

The French menswear store, Celio’s, has come up with a new way to help women shopping without their men to pick out the right clothing size (and style). The store has men in all shapes and sizes, called Shoppenboys, available to help women pick and choose what they need for the men who didn’t accompany them. The store sought out volunteers, and more than 2000 men turned in applications.

Shoppenboy Laurent explained, “I think it makes people feel good. It makes other men less self-conscious because we only ever see good-looking men.”

For someone like me, who has a boyfriend who refuses to try on clothing, this could be the perfect solution.
