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 (3 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.

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 (3 children)

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

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

Client: Hey I’m a villain in an anime setting who is looking to intimidate an everyman protagonist.
Tailor: Will you be saying “Muhaha?”
Client: Oh most definitely.
Tailor: Better add the cape then.

This reminds me of this Georgian wedding attire:

The man's coat is some variation of the traditional go-to celebratory attire of Georgia and other Caucasian cultures. Originally also used as a military garb, afaik, if not an everyday dress even. It's called chokha or cherkeska.

I sent this to my friend along with a message about how much I’d love to see men start wearing this sort of thing, and his response was nothing but “that would get so dirty”

😭 quit being practical! Get it professionally cleaned between use, like a tux! Rent it or smth! Wedding dresses drag on the floor too, but you, the man, are too good to get dirty?????

Smdh.

I wore a cape to university one day as a bit. A guy in a passing car threw a drink at me in protest.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

I'm not saying he was wrong, but I am sorry it happened. If it helps, someone once threw a kebab at me in a passing car. It was mixed grill.

That sucks. People suck. How’s men’s fashion ever going to improve if people are so shit about anything outside the norm?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

I do larp, so I wear an above average number of capes and cloaks. It's super inconvenient, but at historically capes would end up at the lowest around your calves, because yeah this gets dirty.

And historically, that meant you'd drag it through literal shit that was in every street, not just road-dirt. It would get destroyed pretty quickly too. Also, as a dutch person, capes have the problem of not letting your a bike, which is a terrible thing of course.

I'm not going to lie. I love it.

ty for being honest.

I’d love to marry a dude rocking this. He better walk down the aisle too tho

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (6 children)

Walk nothing. I'll be on a palanquin carried by my groomsmen.

We’re still slowly working our way out of a doldrums era where male clothing has to be undecorative and functional. C’mon lads, we can do this! Let’s peacock again.

The only thing I could pull off with that outfit is the hairstyle.

Ahh to be overweight and the ability to make anything seemingly cool look like a holloween costume.

Looks cool, but I've got my heart set on "sexy clown."

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

On the one hand: It's downright regal and impressive. Imposing, even.

On the other: I don't own enough land, or run enough countries, to pull this look off.

For a fun photoshoot, sure, but we'd better have other costumed people and a movie set to contextualize it as something wholly fictional and otherworldly. Otherwise, as this thread illustrates, people are going to draw their own conclusions and they're not all going to be nice.

let's normalize this nice ass shit as normal man clothes.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 13 points 10 months ago (4 children)

men "abandoned their claim to be considered beautiful" and "henceforth aimed at being only useful".[3] The Great Renunciation encouraged the establishment of the suit's monopoly on male dress codes at the beginning of the 19th century.

What is life and love if not a permadeath game of Fire Emblem with me as the caped protagonist and my wife, the canonical love interest.

Btw, has this anime archetype a name? You know, with a weird hat and a saber or canons, usually a general or something, often a endboss, always dangerous.

Right. My "marriage". It's the costume that's the problem.

Definitely need to marry an anime obsessed girl, for this and all the other reasons.

The Legend of the Galactic Heroes collection. For when you absolutely have to upstage the bride.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Although I personally am not a cape kind of guy, I will readily admit that this looks damn good
