I can wear a tux and be perfectly comfortable. If you can't, you've likely never had clothes that fit properly. (That's a $110 Amazon tux BTW, not some fancy Italian tailoring.)
Suits are OK, but I'm really sick of them. They're great if you want to look manly in a sophisticated but understated way (or look so feminine that you still look great and feminine in a suit), but I just don't want to dress manly anymore plus they're uncomfortable and I get wicked pit stains in every dress shirt I've ever tried. Though I don't want to make a bold statement, either, so the 1800/2018 options aren't that much better. My current favourites are winter clothes (big jacket, scarf etc.) and pajamas (separately).

I love trans camo meat guy and I hope he's living his best life with even more wild fashion choices.

I don't like the trappings of classism and reject suits and all other formal wear as daily requirements. Let people just be comfortable

No one stops these nostalgia nerds to dress however they want. I don't understand the problem

I hate leggings. I find them very inconfortable. Other people might not share m'y opinion but I stick on what I said about the last picture.

Trying so hard to go back to the good old 1950s that you overshoot and hit 1948

I think that 1800 fit is awesome. I'd love a heavy structured coat.

I want tricorns to come back in style. I dont care for the powdered wigs and other silly fashion of the era, I just want the hat, the look neat.

You could be dressing like the 15 year old French detective rn

idk if men’s fashion as a whole is ready for a new cycle, but I sure am!
This year it’s skinny capris with button cuffs!
Maybe next year is puffy sleeves! No I’m not joking, I enjoy peacocking.
Then maybe long curled hair, and styled facial hair! Show people you care how you look again!
Then waistcoats! With pocket watches (maybe pocket watch smartphones? Kill your browsing habit?)
Then capes! Because capes!
Variety! You can wear it across the ages and just look dapper! And we can bring back the word dapper because it would apply again!

I actually do this. I attach a pocket watch chain to my smartphone and keep it in my waistcoat pocket: https://lemmy.world/post/20134543

Excellent! Ahead of the curve! Love it!
Dare I say, dapper, even?
