I'm a man, I buy all my clothes online and don't let anyone tell me what I should or should not wear. I'm not here to fit some preconceived stereotypes,or conform to expectations.
Stores sell "mens" nail polish in camo colors, but guess what they will let men buy the pretty colors as well, and they work just as well on male nails as female.
Is it sad my brain saw "Nail polish in camo colours" and immediately thought of tartan paint, wondering how they got the colours to not immediately mix.
I live in a place with short and mild winters, so I can only realistically wear that many layers in two separate weeks where it gets freezing. I do wear similar colorful stuff but only as a second layer (jacket, hoodie, or sweater).
I can't afford to own that many clothes. That fanny pack alone could buy me a thousand pairs of socks at the dollar tree. Probably a few dollar trees. I would be surprised if one store alone had enough socks stocked. I could change my socks 3 times a day for a year or once a day for 3 years and never have to wash any socks.
I would totally wear that jacket but not the rest. I’m too thick to pull off skin tight pants (and they’re super uncomfortable for me) but I love the jacket!
Honestly, the visible branding. I don’t wear visible branding or any sort of language or text on my clothes. No logos, no words, no designs. Just outlandish cuts and interesting style ideas, all without paying to sell someone else’s product.
I am an adult and I understand that that whole "look" now was engineered right under our noses by LVMH. I say this as someone who used to obsessively check KanyeToThe, Superfuture, rawrdenim. I was effay and I battled in those r/streetwear WDYWT? Threads to get enough karma to make my own posts

I can wear some interesting things as long as it conforms to a certain style. I wouldn't mind a bold, bright block color scheme, and I think the people with whom I work would enjoy it.
I like it, always been very fond of vibrant and saturated, almost neon-esque, colors. But for me it would be the same reason Im not expressing anything else about myself. Too afraid of the social aspect. Just afraid people would critizise, be disrespectful or any other bigoted comments im not sure how i would respond to.
Man, if I didnt grow up getting screamed at I would be unstoppable 🙃
Thank you, last few years, especially last one, has been very eye opening since I actually started seeing a therapist. We're getting somewhere, atleast 😅
I need to try the clothes before I can buy them, and around here, stores don't offer any coloured clothes in adult sizes. You can dress in any colours you like, of course, as long as they are black, grey and beige.
Well, there still is sportswear, which comes in neon-yellow, neon-orange, neon-pink and bright blues to discourage drivers from crashing into you. Let's see if there is something there that doesn't scream tacky to me.
80% of my clothes are soruced by my parter from the local Op Shop and we live in a religious conservative area (am a left wing aethiest), so no donations to buy there.
also, i tend to dress in some colourful clothes rather then drab grey and black but I'd feel odd cosplaying as a licorice allsort
I love the jacket. I would love it over a black outfit but their must be color on the head. Maybe a colorful hat instead of colorful hair but the lipstick is good.
