Normalize male fashion that isn't boring

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 39 points 23 hours 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 20 points 18 hours 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.

do it, feel free to ad more colours and flare.

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)

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.

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

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

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 hours 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 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It tends to force good posture.

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

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

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

True, but you're allowed to have both.
