Who’s got boring socks? Not me, sir. 😤
Socks with sandals
Oh no
Don’t you ever insinuate i have boring socks ever again.
Some people do loud shirts, I do loud socks.
I promise you the peasantry was not dressing like that
frankly, im not sure what point this stupid meme is trying to make.
That enforcing gender norms is stupid.
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.

Thanks for the lovely rabbit hole to fall into
The powdered wife served the same purpose.
Don’t forget the wig for down under, the merkin!
Sure and perume was becase you didn’t bathe … And yet we still use both
Like all things it started with them and then gained popularity through all social classes.
There is absofukinglutely nothing stopping you from dressing like that, only yourself.
Don’t let the prospect of beheading get on the way of your dreams!
They might try to stop you.
As the saying goes, “no gentleman was dressed without his sword”
Unfortunately others have flintlocks
They will fail to stop you.
Yeeeesshhhhhhh

Those are bourgeois categories
Ahaha! Well played.
You’ve obviously not been to a goth club recently ;)
Remember, the Roman’s thought pants were for the effeminate easterners.
Pantaloons with tights aren’t completely dead, just shorts with long socks need to up their sock game
I think they dropped a word there. I think “rich” was the word they dropped…
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.
Tbf, that (dress dark and be boring) was probably due to all the opium/morphine they were on.
we have better drugs now, why are we still dressing like we are opium addicts??
Who knows, maybe someone will come up with herioin chique one day.
…hormones and time, mostly: i haven’t been able to pull off that look for thirty years and trust me when i say that you wouldn’t want to see me try…
I’m a bear built, and even though I just bought a skirt. I’ll never look cute like that,
Don’t under estimate the power of the combo of tiny skirt thicc thighs.
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.
Don’t underestimate the power of makeup. Ask a female friend for help.
are you a female friend? because you might have just volunteered yourself.
Oh, just saw the enby pfp, so nope :(
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.
My penis would dangle out the bottom of the skirt.
Like a real Scotsman.
being a shower must suck
There are ways to tuck.
Sounds like work.
I’m more of a summer/spring in my color scheme
I don’t have breasts like that
Not with that attitude!
Having a career. At home though, nothing :3
Ladies, What’s stopping you from dressing like this

Coward, do it anyways!
Be the cognitohazard you don’t want others to be!
Noble vs peasant.
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.
Nothing masculine about tepid conformity.
A yearning desire to be indistinguishable from one’s peers and find acceptance in the tribe is peak toxic masculinity.
Fragilemasculinity.
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 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.
Those lesions and hair loss were usually caused by syphilis which was considered wildly scandalous at the time.
