It's emphasis of being on the fringe of homosexuality seems to be more about personality than clothing, which then perpetuates the idea that you need to be strange and different to be cool. Which makes for stupid clothing that seems many times asymmetrical and just plain disgusting. Where you find Express charging you $80 for a a stupid patchwork shirt that not only looks terrible, it feels terrible and won't be able to be worn once the whole fucking queer eye fad vanishes.
Roughly a metrosexual is: "An urban male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle."
For starters being a metrosexual is not the same as being homosexual. One is about aesthetics (you might want to read that as vanity) the other about a sexual preference.
There's nothing wrong with a man who cares about his appearance. Why is it that society finds it normal for a woman to wear fancy clothes and spend lots of money on her appearance but labels a man who does the same thing as abnormal? Why is it that women can be vain but men can't? I personally like to see a man taking good care of himself, it sure beats looking like a bum!
Oh, and as far as horrible looking clothes are concerned that depends on the person, some might wear them but others won't.
When talking about metrosexuals in Europe this guy always comes to mind (David Beckham):
