Casually forgetting that they didn’t shower back then.
This is a man vs bear scenario, repainted to make the modern man look like what feminazis view us as. Simple as.
Ugh, and this indoor plumbing and daily hygiene is such a chore.
Rich guys wearing really dour clothes is actually a relatively recent phenomenon in history. Up to the French Revolution the aristocrats were peacocked up to the max; maybe it was fear of the guillotine that saw their successors going around in North Face jackets.
It is still happening, just more metaphorically, so less people can catch it.
I’m wearing awesome socks. Those are anything but boring!
Rich cunts then:

Or to put it another way, nothing has changed. The upper classes still dress like wankers who sniff their own farts, and the lower classes still dress with whatever they can afford that works for them.
Ladies, What’s stopping you from dressing like this
I am an 1,87m tall, somewhat broad shouldered dude over 40 with a bit of a beer belly and a beard (imagine a stereotypical lumberjack but working in IT)… what is stopping me dressing like that? Well… i don’t want to see people around me clawing out their eyes.
Be the cognitohazard you don’t want others to be!
Coward, do it anyways!
The only thing separating you from crossdressing decently is shaving and wearing makeup right. And with the beer belly and broad shoulders just avoid tight clothing.
Having a career. At home though, nothing :3
I don’t have breasts like that
Not with that attitude!
I’m more of a summer/spring in my color scheme
…hormones and time, mostly: i haven’t been able to pull off that look for thirty years and trust me when i say that you wouldn’t want to see me try…
My penis would dangle out the bottom of the skirt.
There are ways to tuck.
Like a real Scotsman.
This is the way.
being a shower must suck
I’m a bear built, and even though I just bought a skirt. I’ll never look cute like that,
Don’t underestimate the power of makeup. Ask a female friend for help.
are you a female friend? because you might have just volunteered yourself.
Oh, just saw the enby pfp, so nope :(
I meant someone who’d be there in person for you and can do your makeup or teach you how. At the very least it wouldn’t harm to do guy makeup like foundation or coverstick. Eye contouring and mascara can also be unisex depending on how it is used.
Also me being enby doesn’t mean I don’t use makeup. I actually wear eyeliner and mascara almost daily. Also I manage to pass as androgynous despite being 1,81m and semi-muscular. But there are ways to hide masculine features. Only people who will probably great difficulties are body builders or have the facial features of a gorilla or baboon.
But then again there is Azis who is a body builder, musician and absolutely gorgeous with makeup on.
Don’t under estimate the power of the combo of tiny skirt thicc thighs.
And you know what!
I’m a cis male, and I’m not even thinking this is any form of gender bending. I’m wearing them because when I wear them, they are manly.
I’m not against blurring gender lines, it just not my style. I just hate that make fashion is basically funeralwear.
When I die I want everyone to attend in the most colorful and creative outfits, need to make a will to ask people wearing a traditional suit to fuck off.
That’s my problem with male fashion too. It’s all so bland and boring.
Women’s fashion: colorful, cute looking.
Men’s fashion: dark, drab, all the same.
I’m a woman who prefers the man on the right. Not the clown on the left. https://youtube.com/shorts/HvUietWN688
Dude on the left pulls it off, dude on the right does not, imo.
Is it the wooden teeth?
This is an absolutely hilarious episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Worth a watch! :D
Who’s got boring socks? Not me, sir. 😤
Socks with sandals
Oh no
I think they dropped a word there. I think “rich” was the word they dropped…
that’s a part of it, however during the Victorian time. it became fashionable for men to be stoic and boring. that’s why a guy can wear the same outfit for a meeting, a wedding, and a funeral.
although wealth is a big factor. it isn’t the whole story. a good suit can cost a lot and still be fashionably bankrupt.
And if you try to put some flare, they will question your sexuality and distupt the corporate dynamics.
Tbf, that (dress dark and be boring) was probably due to all the opium/morphine they were on.
we have better drugs now, why are we still dressing like we are opium addicts??
Who knows, maybe someone will come up with herioin chique one day.
Look up “Beau Brummely” and “Great Renunciation”.
US southern-prep khakis, blazer, shirt and tie, slightly longer hair is pretty much the exact look Brummely and his dandies created and socially enforced through mockery.
Some people claim that the underlying force granting Brummely the ability to do so had to do with the center of power shifting from traditional nobility to financiers.
See good buddy that’s why you buy yourself thrift.
I wear suits that cost me 20 bucks that look better than what the president wears. Not that that’s a high bar, but a worthy comparison.
Well you’re probably younger and more fit and wearing stuff that’s five years out of date instead of thirty five.
Pretty sure only aristocrats dressed like that.
And wasn’t the makeup to hide chlamydia / syphilis etc?
I think it’s also for the opposite? I mean, the white face, rosy cheeks and red lips were popularized due to the romantization of tuberculosis. The guy on the left could literally have tuberculosis looking at his face.

Thanks for the lovely rabbit hole to fall into
Sure and perume was becase you didn’t bathe … And yet we still use both
The powdered wig served the same purpose.
Don’t forget the wig for down under, the merkin!
Fam be jerkin for that Merkin.
Like all things it started with them and then gained popularity through all social classes.
and then the french revolution happened…
Don’t you ever insinuate i have boring socks ever again.
how long does it take for your toenails to dig though them?
you might call that boring.
Some people do loud shirts, I do loud socks.
There is absofukinglutely nothing stopping you from dressing like that, only yourself.
They might try to stop you.
As the saying goes, “no gentleman was dressed without his sword”
Unfortunately others have flintlocks
Yeeeesshhhhhhh
They will fail to stop you.
society, jobs, and weather?
Those are bourgeois categories
oh, sowie
Don’t let the prospect of beheading get on the way of your dreams!
Ah yes, the Great Male Renunciation of fashion
Flügel asserted that men “abandoned their claim to be considered beautiful” and “henceforth aimed at being only useful”.
Meanwhile, still waiting on 99% of men (or all humans, really) to start being useful.
I’ll give you a full rebuttal as soon as I’m done reaching the top shelf and unscrewing the lid of the pickle jar.
Fashion??? In this economy?!
Idk what you’re talking about, used clothing is both the most affordable and the gaudiest. I love it.
If I could suit up like in games that actually have good clothing options and don’t punish you for just getting every option I totally would, but for better or worse I settle for tattered hand me downs from my uncle that I have been wearing since I was 7 or so. And some hand me ups from my younger siblings that became bigger than me as a top up to the supply.
That’s was really interesting
