Wooden teeth, life’s a beach.
Speak for yourself my guy liner and manscara is on point.
Rich cunts then:

Or to put it another way, nothing has changed. The upper classes still dress like wankers who sniff their own farts, and the lower classes still dress with whatever they can afford that works for them.
See good buddy that’s why you buy yourself thrift.
I wear suits that cost me 20 bucks that look better than what the president wears. Not that that’s a high bar, but a worthy comparison.
Well you’re probably younger and more fit and wearing stuff that’s five years out of date instead of thirty five.
I’m more of a summer/spring in my color scheme
My penis would dangle out the bottom of the skirt.
Like a real Scotsman.
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.
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.
Look up “Beau Brummely” and “Great Renunciation”.
US southern-prep khakis, blazer, shirt and tie, slightly longer hair is pretty much the exact look Brummely and his dandies created and socially enforced through mockery.
Some people claim that the underlying force granting Brummely the ability to do so had to do with the center of power shifting from traditional nobility to financiers.
we have better drugs now, why are we still dressing like we are opium addicts??
Dude on the left pulls it off, dude on the right does not, imo.
Is it the wooden teeth?
This is an absolutely hilarious episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Worth a watch! :D
Who’s got boring socks? Not me, sir. 😤
Socks with sandals
Oh no

Don’t you ever insinuate i have boring socks ever again.
how long does it take for your toenails to dig though them?
you might call that boring.
Some people do loud shirts, I do loud socks.
wasn’t the make up meant to hide the lesions and wigs to hide the peeling scalp and hair loss?
Those lesions and hair loss were usually caused by syphilis which was considered wildly scandalous at the time.
yhea but that still doesn’t explain the colourful detailed outfits.
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.
Noble vs peasant.
Call me a sissy but t-shirt and cargo pants for life!
Yep! Form follows function, hence, I need my pockets. XD
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.
I’ll give you a full rebuttal as soon as I’m done reaching the top shelf and unscrewing the lid of the pickle jar.
That’s was really interesting
Fashion??? In this economy?!
Idk what you’re talking about, used clothing is both the most affordable and the gaudiest. I love it.
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.
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
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…
