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.

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

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't it the thing about fashion that it never improves, just endlessly changes? So men's fashion, not changing, has simply left the wheel of samsara.

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.

So if you're lonely, you know I'm here waiting for you / I'm just a cross-hair, I'm just a shot away from you

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.

[–] Dadifer@lemmy.world 32 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

ty for being honest.

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

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

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

Nope. I can't pull this off. I'll stick to 'boring' clothes, thanks.

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It's cool and all, but a little too...

early 20th century...

german military for my tastes...

[–] CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

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?

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

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 11 points 22 hours 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.

TIL thank you.

maybe we need an unrenunciation.

From the Millardo Peacecraft collection we offer Zech's very own wedding cape.

Fuck it if men don't want capes I'm taking them. Theyre too god looking to be gendered anyways.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

It's not that men don't want capes. We're just not sure we're enough of a superhero to wear them :'(

[–] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Someone wearing that cape is not a superhero. Villans always get the beat outfits after all.

According to edna its a bad idea. Gets snagged to often.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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