Normalize male fashion that isn't boring

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 43 points 10 months ago (2 children)

that's just a royaltyslop version of the great male renunciation. we can go better once we get the guillotines

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm not going to ignore fancy royal shit. I want to embrace it. I want to normalize fancy shit as a way for people to build a unique and definable personal fashion statement. The rich like it because it's inaccessible to the hoi poloi and the poors.

I want to infringe on their culture. Appropriate it for us normal people. Make the fashion of the rich pivot to something minimal and encourage them to really pull back because there is nothing they can do except spend more to get less. I want to rob the rich of all their comforts starting with how they see themselves.

claps you make me wish i could really sew.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Youtube videos to learn and estate and garage sales for the sewing machine. So many Nana's have a family that doesn't know how to use her well loved hobby machine.

Still better than a suit and tie. Also the guillotines got us into this situation in the first place. (Not that I want the kings back, just some of their fashion)

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

didn't the Great male renunciation started by British royalty? seems like guillotines could have saved us.

Beau fucking Brummel.

I thought that it was after the French decided that their kings were to pompous and started wearing military outfits (after the king mysteriously disappeared). I could be wrong tho, the British royals could use some less gold.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

thought it started with Victorian England. I'm too tired to double check or get in a rabbit hole right now. either way the guillotine is worth a try

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Men, get yourself a male corset. You can thank me later.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

For anyone with mild dyslexia: corset and escort are not the same

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

True, but you're allowed to have both.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's going to either be useless or uncomfortable. That's a no for me dawg

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They're quite comfortable. Can be too warm in the summer.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean either it is shaping you and that's gonna be uncomfortable or they're not in which case... what's the point

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It tends to force good posture.

Just try one. There's some fairly affordable ones on Aliexpress.
