There is absofukinglutely nothing stopping you from dressing like that, only yourself.
Don’t let the prospect of beheading get on the way of your dreams!
Ah yes, the Great Male Renunciation of fashion
That’s was really interesting
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.
Noble vs peasant.
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.
Dude on the left pulls it off, dude on the right does not, imo.
Is it the wooden teeth?
I’m more of a summer/spring in my color scheme
My penis would dangle out the bottom of the skirt.
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,

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.

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.
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.
I do find it weird there’s been this resurgence of fixation on superficial motifs being associated with masculinity, but the guys who parrot these views all have an appearance that screams, “I want to blend in and be invisible!”
Nothing masculine about tepid conformity.
Nothing masculine about tepid conformity.
A yearning desire to be indistinguishable from one’s peers and find acceptance in the tribe is peak toxic masculinity.
Fragilemasculinity.
Remember, the Roman’s thought pants were for the effeminate easterners.
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.
Try it, you get lots of shit. I’d know.

That’s where you’re wrong, I only wear the most clown ass socks under my jeans
Literally I own only Scooby doo boot cut socks and tye-dyed ankle cut.
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.
