Also did you see King Louis XIV shoes? Dude was flair.
Bring back snuff. It was 14th century Zyn.
Nobody’s stopping you. Just toss a couple Marlboros into a coffee grinder.
Noble vs peasant.

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.
that’s why women are attracted to men in uniforms
Wooden teeth, life’s a beach.
Remember, the Roman’s thought pants were for the effeminate easterners.
wasn’t the make up meant to hide the lesions and wigs to hide the peeling scalp and hair loss?
Those lesions and hair loss were usually caused by syphilis which was considered wildly scandalous at the time.
yhea but that still doesn’t explain the colourful detailed outfits.
hair loss
… maybe we should bring back pompous wigs.
i also want to bring back balding friendly hair styles, which were popular across many cultures in the past, so much so that it was common for people to shave their heads to achieve it. look at traditional Japanese hair cuts, or European monks.
on paper they’ll say there’s a reason for that. but I’m being the style came first, then they justified it. because if they didn’t like it in the first place, they wouldn’t have done it and created reasons for them.
. because if they didn’t like it in the first place, they wouldn’t have done it and created reasons for them.
I hear the european monks did it specifically because it’s ugly.
I’m more of a summer/spring in my color scheme
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.
My penis would dangle out the bottom of the skirt.
Like a real Scotsman.
This is the way.
being a shower must suck
There are ways to tuck.
I’m a bear built, and even though I just bought a skirt. I’ll never look cute like that,
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.
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.
Ladies, What’s stopping you from dressing like this
Having a career. At home though, nothing :3
I don’t have breasts like that
Not with that attitude!
…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…

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
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.
Oh look, a clown.
That there is a dandy
Try it, you get lots of shit. I’d know.
Tbh men like me are a step away from becoming cats and I would love to just be a cat. Every step we do that progresses men becoming cats is fine for me.
I don’t want it to be like it is, but it do
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.
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.
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.
