    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.

    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.

    Rich cunts then:

    Rich cunts now:

    Poor cunts then:

    Poor cunts now:

    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.

      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.

      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.

            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.

          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.

            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 also want to bring back balding friendly hair styles, which were popular across many cultures in the past, so much so that it was common for people to shave their heads to achieve it. look at traditional Japanese hair cuts, or European monks.

        on paper they’ll say there’s a reason for that. but I’m being the style came first, then they justified it. because if they didn’t like it in the first place, they wouldn’t have done it and created reasons for them.

          . because if they didn’t like it in the first place, they wouldn’t have done it and created reasons for them.

          I hear the european monks did it specifically because it’s ugly.
