Budget and skill. In reality a bona fide attempt from me would probably end up more like this:

I'm a 50 year old man with functioning retinas...

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Me being a man. So clothes shops go "you will wear grey, maybe black, some blue and fugly green. Go on, chop-chop"

[–] 1D10@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm a man, I buy all my clothes online and don't let anyone tell me what I should or should not wear. I'm not here to fit some preconceived stereotypes,or conform to expectations.

Stores sell "mens" nail polish in camo colors, but guess what they will let men buy the pretty colors as well, and they work just as well on male nails as female.

Dress how you want.

Is it sad my brain saw "Nail polish in camo colours" and immediately thought of tartan paint, wondering how they got the colours to not immediately mix.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

being a woman, I only like these colors lmao

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

What can I say, one's hell is someone else's heaven :)

[–] FlyingCrow@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's such a struggle to find a variety of colourful clothes for guys :(

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not at all. Just don't shop at generic stores.

[–] 1D10@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Right? Even just typing "mens clothes" in a search engine brings up every color you could want.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I work from home, so I'd just be sitting in this colorful weird outfit and showing it to my dog and cats.

[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I'm not seeing the problem here 🤔

[–] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Well, lets jusr say, my peanits

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

I don't desire to look like a child ate a whole pack of crayon and then threw up on me?

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

I love myself too much to look like a clown.

[–] SooperGoose@thelemmy.club 7 points 6 days ago

That coat is probably like $600

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 9 points 6 days ago

That outfit somehow looks both expensive as hell and cheap as hell.

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)
[–] Batman@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I'd wear it if the rest of my outfit was more muted. this is as Frasier would put it "eclectic"

[–] Fourth@mander.xyz 2 points 5 days ago

That's funny, I know that it is but I still quite like it. Funny how human brains work.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Not for everyone but extroverts and avant-garde hyper-creatives in their 20s and 30s, slim at up to 60kg.

[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

I think it looks cool, but I don't wear logos.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It’s too attention getting and I prefer to not attract attention

[–] jeffep@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Okay, you got my attention now.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I don't want to dress like a Kindergartner.

[–] macke49@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Yeah unfortunately I had to leave the period between 1986-1994 but let me tell you, it was fucking awesome

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What is going on at the crotch here? It looks like she has a designer codpiece. Love the hair color/lipstick combo.

[–] eletes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Looks like a cross body bag over a zip hoodie

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago
[–] Epzillon@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I like it, always been very fond of vibrant and saturated, almost neon-esque, colors. But for me it would be the same reason Im not expressing anything else about myself. Too afraid of the social aspect. Just afraid people would critizise, be disrespectful or any other bigoted comments im not sure how i would respond to. 

Man, if I didnt grow up getting screamed at I would be unstoppable 🙃

[–] Fourth@mander.xyz 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not too late to unravel that thread a little bit and move in a direction that you want to. People change all the time. 💪

[–] Epzillon@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Thank you, last few years, especially last one, has been very eye opening since I actually started seeing a therapist. We're getting somewhere, atleast 😅

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Remove the jacket, replace the leggings for some loose trousers and that's a pretty cool look. I dare say cute/badass.

[–] czer0_@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

Common sense.

[–] jeffep@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I don't own such clothes

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 5 points 6 days ago
[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 days ago

hey, look! the 80's 2.0 are here! nice

My personality is eccentric enough. I dress plainly because an eccentric outfit would be a hat on a hat.

About 200 pounds of excess weight and my desire is more of leather cyberpunk.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Prison rules.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)
