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

Ahh to be overweight and the ability to make anything seemingly cool look like a holloween costume.
Everyone around me has agreed that I NEED that outfit with the heraldry of my Houses on each shoulder and the pendant. I'm just not sure which House to give the pendant.
I could absolutely bullshit my way into a modern House with that outfit.
For anyone wondering, House Rice, House Wellington, and House Tudor. All broken from the main house in 1660 to 1670.
This reminds me of this Georgian wedding attire:
I too need a vest of throwing knives.
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 love that Americans think Caucasians means white people. Actually, scratch that, I hate it because it’s based on 19th Century pseudo-scientific nonsense that literally claims that “mongoloid” is a sub-race of humanity.
Nope. I can't pull this off. I'll stick to 'boring' clothes, thanks.
Okay which manhua is this outfit from?
You can't see it but it's probably got little belts just above the biceps.
Holy drama.
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.
They give me vibes of Western European (French and Spanish) high-ranking Naval dress in the 1700-1800s, just embellished and almost caricatured.
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.
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.
Square Enix has entered the Fashion Industry.
Invest in belt stocks, hurry!

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.
Normalize male fashion that isn't boring
that's just a royaltyslop version of the great male renunciation. we can go better once we get the guillotines
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.
do it, feel free to ad more colours and flare.

Go on ...
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.
Oh man, did you know that the capes thing was actually in-world propaganda/disinformation in the movies? Syndrome killed all the people listed as having cape accidents, so it was like a go-to coverup that they died in cape related ways, like the people making the cover stories didn't have the creativity to come up with anything else. And it just ended up making capes seem like a bad idea.
Wait, does the movie actually show that? Are any of the same heroes cited by Edna as cape accidents also shown in Syndrome's database as being killed by him instead?

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.
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.

Definitely need to marry an anime obsessed girl, for this and all the other reasons.
It's cool and all, but a little too...
early 20th century...
german military for my tastes...
late XIX early XX military fashion is so cool actually, idk. And this costume in particular is better than a plain classic men's wedding attire anyway. Like, women got all those different cool-looking wedding dresses, different forms, different shapes... And what men got? A plain effing classic suit, the same you'd wear to a business meeting. Yuck.
I think if we drop the Epaulettes and Chains maybe we could figure something more generally acceptable out. What do we think of an asymmetrical cape and left arm embellished black Pauldron?
sound like you're describing Ezio's attire lol
still way cooler than whatever we have now
whatever floats your boat bro
