"When asked to name a pair of jeans she particularly liked from her Teen Vogue shoot, Leandra Medine doesn&amp;#39;t miss a beat. &amp;quot;The ones that look like a denim mattress,&amp;quot; she says, referring to a pair of Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans with quilting. &amp;quot;I saw those and was like, Ah, I have to wear them.&amp;quot;\n\nA denim-mattress pant may conjure up the least sexy mental image ever, but to anyone familiar with Leandra&amp;#39;s blog, that&amp;#39;s exactly the point: Launched in April 2010, The Man Repeller is dedicated to the notion that most of the fashion that women like is repellent to men. It features snapshots of Leandra, a 22-year-old from New York City, in fashion-forward getups (think shoulder pads and harem pants) accompanied by witty, self-deprecating one-liners, like &amp;quot;Holy macaroon seed! I look like a casino table!&amp;quot; The blog is a hit\u2014Leandra has attracted a following of 700,000 visitors a month; media attention from outlets like the New York Times; and a slew of side projects, including a collaboration with jewelry label Dannijo that hits stores in September. &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s crazy. My brother uses me as a pickup line now,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;It turns out being the brother of Man Repeller has made him a woman propeller.&amp;quot;\n\nIt&amp;#39;s easy to understand why: In person, Leandra&amp;#39;s like your BFF shopping partner. When she&amp;#39;s discussing fall&amp;#39;s top denim trends, her advice is not only helpful, but it&amp;#39;s delivered in the same hilarious quips that populate her blog. On colored washes: &amp;quot;Wear them in a maroony shade\u2014in purple and green they get too Avril Lavigne 2006.&amp;quot; On overalls: &amp;quot;Roll them up so you&amp;#39;re not fully Amish.&amp;quot; And on the flare leg (her favorite): &amp;quot;Men get confused when women dress like it&amp;#39;s 1977.&amp;quot;\n\nShe admits there are styles that are foolproof man-getters\u2014namely, Daisy Dukes. &amp;quot;They&amp;#39;re like denim panties,&amp;quot; she notes, before adding, &amp;quot;but I have a theory that the girls who dress like that are actually the real man repellers.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
