vice versa

Yes, I'd love to see more men in frocks, please.

My ratios are pretty off to look exactly like the left. Body hair, too.

You showing up to work:

I own this and it has made me a better person.

I'm the exact opposite. Always have been. Everyone has always tried to get me to, "Find my style," bitch please! My style is nice and boring no design heather gray, solid black, forest green and gray t-shirts with a pocket, pain black relaxed fit wrangler jeans or cargo shorts that go below the knee for biking or to longer events that I don't want to feel the wind on my knees or exposed in.

Also, when you bike as a dude when you wear something like 6" to 8" inseam for shorts, you're gonna either be wearing something skin tight where your balls are up against the shorts and I've always wondered if there's a sports cup at play or feel like you're wearing boxers. Maybe that's just me. 10" inseam is the shortest I can go and yeah I know I have autism but I can't relax with anything shorter.

Then there's the whole crew vs quarter cut for men and if you wear ankle cut as a dude in the summer you have a sick obsession with enjoying blisters. Anytime really, like fuckin' shit ankle cut socks are SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quarter Cut Socks especially dickies are the fucking best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you wear crew cut socks in the summer with shorts you piss me off because I get the comfort at home but out in public, it looks so fuckin' stupid.

Look up boardwalk casual

Linen shirts and trousers

Browse through the summer look book of a designer you like. Ralph Lauren, or maybe Drakes are pretty inoffensive and safe bets for a classic look. Both are expensive brands, but you're only buying inspiration anyway.

My own personal advice, for what it's worth. Not inclusive of all social situations, but...

If they're long pants, they're linen. If they're short pants, shorter inseams look a little more fashionable than knee length cargo shorts.

If they're long sleeves, they're linen. If they're short sleeves, then something that has a collar.

Shoes are of the boat variety, or sandals.

My uncle says men should never show their bare legs or feet in public, though you should probably decide that for yourself.

My mild take is that there's nothing wrong with that outfit.

You could probably do a non-tshirt top, like a breezy short sleeve button down or more relaxed top. Maybe non khaki colored shorts, but it's fine as is.

But men in pretty frocks look good ... everyone should wear them.

Plus, they're better than shorts and t-shirt for keeping cool :-)

My frame and lack of utility in the outfit is

But I want to dress like the one on the right :'(

No one stopping you from wearing a dress

Anyway

Never seen a cape

Can we normalize capes again?, like cmon! This is so cool:

It's an interesting phenomenon, because throughout most of human history it was men who wore (if they could) flamboyant outfits, while women tended to be more demurely dressed. Sexually dimorphic species (ducks, peacocks, etc.) are often similar, with males having vibrant colours. What changed, and why? I'm sure some sociologist has thought of an answer.

Signed, plainly dressed man.

Yet the shorts and t-shirt is super normative
