Is there an historical reason why female formal dresses have a huge variety of styles compared to male ones where the only acceptable style is jacket with pants?

      I was just thinking about the Beau Brummel episode. He was almost an actually good guy too. One of the least bastardly people to be covered.

    Have you seen the way old men dress? Everything is gray or brown with the least amount of shape or texture. It’s like boomers collectively agreed to be as uniform and boring as possible. There used to be as much style and individuality in men’s fashion as women’s, but sometime around the end of the 1800s they all said “let’s just all wear this one plain thing for the next 200 years.”

    Don’t the Scottish men wear short skirts? But they seem rather the exception than the rule. Maybe the native Americans also wore skirts of some kind, or sometimes nothing at all.
