Ugh, and this indoor plumbing and daily hygiene is such a chore.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 3 points 18 hours ago

I’m wearing awesome socks. Those are anything but boring!

[–] reactionality@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 18 hours ago

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.

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.

[–] lb_o@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It is still happening, just more metaphorically, so less people can catch it.

I'm a woman who prefers the man on the right. Not the clown on the left. https://youtube.com/shorts/HvUietWN688

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

[–] Donaldist@feddit.org 4 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Darkenfolk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago

Be the cognitohazard you don't want others to be!

[–] Emopunker@feddit.org 1 points 13 hours ago

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.

[–] gray@lemmy.ml 2 points 16 hours ago

Coward, do it anyways!

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 3 points 16 hours ago

Having a career. At home though, nothing :3

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t have breasts like that

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 3 points 16 hours ago

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...

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I'm more of a summer/spring in my color scheme

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

My penis would dangle out the bottom of the skirt.

[–] Emopunker@feddit.org 2 points 13 hours ago

There are ways to tuck.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 18 hours ago

This is the way.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

being a shower must suck

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm a bear built, and even though I just bought a skirt. I'll never look cute like that,

[–] Emopunker@feddit.org 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Don't underestimate the power of makeup. Ask a female friend for help.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

are you a female friend? because you might have just volunteered yourself.

Oh, just saw the enby pfp, so nope :(

[–] Emopunker@feddit.org 2 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] alternategait@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't under estimate the power of the combo of tiny skirt thicc thighs.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 16 hours ago

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 think they dropped a word there. I think "rich" was the word they dropped......

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

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.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Well you're probably younger and more fit and wearing stuff that's five years out of date instead of thirty five.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Who's got boring socks? Not me, sir. 😤

Socks with sandals

Oh no

[–] BC_viper@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Don't you ever insinuate i have boring socks ever again.

Speak for yourself my guy liner and manscara is on point.

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 84 points 2 days ago (9 children)

Pretty sure only aristocrats dressed like that.
