Who’s got boring socks? Not me, sir. 😤

Don’t you ever insinuate i have boring socks ever again.
Some people do loud shirts, I do loud socks.
Call me a sissy but t-shirt and cargo pants for life!
Noble vs peasant.
wasn’t the make up meant to hide the lesions and wigs to hide the peeling scalp and hair loss?
hair loss
… maybe we should bring back pompous wigs.
I do find it weird there’s been this resurgence of fixation on superficial motifs being associated with masculinity, but the guys who parrot these views all have an appearance that screams, “I want to blend in and be invisible!”
Nothing masculine about tepid conformity.
Ah yes, the Great Male Renunciation of fashion
Flügel asserted that men “abandoned their claim to be considered beautiful” and “henceforth aimed at being only useful”.
Meanwhile, still waiting on 99% of men (or all humans, really) to start being useful.
That’s was really interesting
Fashion??? In this economy?!
If I could suit up like in games that actually have good clothing options and don’t punish you for just getting every option I totally would, but for better or worse I settle for tattered hand me downs from my uncle that I have been wearing since I was 7 or so. And some hand me ups from my younger siblings that became bigger than me as a top up to the supply.
Maybe we have grown out as a society of that childish one-upping each other with made up rules?
Have you met society? Society is a petty bitch!
Please tell me there’s a /s in there somewhere.
Pretty sure only aristocrats dressed like that.
And wasn’t the makeup to hide chlamydia / syphilis etc?
I think it’s also for the opposite? I mean, the white face, rosy cheeks and red lips were popularized due to the romantization of tuberculosis. The guy on the left could literally have tuberculosis looking at his face.

Sure and perume was becase you didn’t bathe … And yet we still use both
The powdered wig served the same purpose.
Don’t forget the wig for down under, the merkin!
Fam be jerkin for that Merkin.
Like all things it started with them and then gained popularity through all social classes.
and then the french revolution happened…
Mark Zuckerberg, who dresses pretty much like the guy on the right, then adds a watch worth $100k to indicate his status.
The pants shirts an hoodies the ultra wealthy wear are also often obscenely overpriced versions of the normal clothes. Like Luis Vuitton’s plain tshirt, with a same color embossed logo on the front, for 700$. Or this one by Prada for 2500$ (its casmere)
I legitimately do not understand
I think it’s silly and wasteful, but I don’t think it’s difficult to understand. Modern aristocrats have so much money that the cost doesn’t matter at all, and they probably get it for free in the hope that they’d be seen wearing it by all the wannabes who can afford it.
But even if they pay full price and pick it for some dumb reason like the color or because it’s soft, with the average net worth growth these people see in a month or year, any time spent buying the thing would be far more valuable (or they would passively make far more money) than the cost of the shirt.
But silly things like transactions and opening packages of free overpriced fashion are for underlings to handle anyway.
There is absofukinglutely nothing stopping you from dressing like that, only yourself.
They might try to stop you.
Yeeeesshhhhhhh
As the saying goes, “no gentleman was dressed without his sword”
Unfortunately others have flintlocks
They will fail to stop you.
society, jobs, and weather?
Those are bourgeois categories
oh, sowie
Don’t let the prospect of beheading get on the way of your dreams!
Remember, the Roman’s thought pants were for the effeminate easterners.
Oh look, a clown.
That there is a dandy
