Dudes of funsubstance, if it was socially acceptable for you to wear skirts, dresses, and other stuff that's considered women's clothing nowadays, would you? I'm genuinely curious because I find contemporary men's fashion to be boring and stifling as hell, the most creative thing you can do with it is to wear a suit with a funny tie, but most of the time you're stuck with jeans and T-shirts. If you could go ham with skirts, dresses, makeup, or different types of shoes without people being weird about it, what would you do?
No, I wear what I want and have never felt restricted by gender norms, because I have no desire to look feminine and enjoy looking masculine.
If I could go hog-wild it would be stuff like epaulets and capes and shit.
I'd totally wear my kilt in public. Right now I just wear it around the house for ball reasons.
edit for @garlog I'd totally run around in a cape also.
If I could find a legitimate reason for it I'd wear just about anything. However, there are somethings that I'd theoretically be willing to wear that I would never actually wear. A good example is the scarf I bought in Afghanistan. I'd love to wear it but I live in Florida it never gets cold enough to need a scarf. I wear things for two reasons. They're comfortable or I need to because of the weather. Sometimes that even overlaps. Unfortunately, Florida never gets cold enough. I wear shorts 99% of the year because it's just too hot to wear something else.
Ahaha I wish! Tbh I'm just happy the work culture has improved and employers don't force women to wear makeup and high heels to the office anymore, cause I hate both of those things.
Yeah it's been proven they fuck up your knees, hips and spine if you wear them every day, because of how your weight is shifted to the front and the different pattern of walking.
Like sure sometimes I wear them to some formal events (but mostly I just wear flats because I'm 5'10") but I'm really sorry for the women who think (or are told) that they have to wear them every day to work to look 'professional' or whatever.
That said, the same thing can definitely be said about men who have to wear suits to work even when it's scorching hot. Dehydration is already a serious thing that affects many people each year and when you sweat profusely for 8+ hours every day because you can't take off any layers, it's a recipe for disaster.
