        We could make Sundress and Propeller Hat the standard summer outfit, but we have failed as a society.

      There is however a law against pitching a tent on someone else’s land, and the act of doing so does become more noticeable, maybe even more frequent, when men are walking around wearing dresses.

              Speaking of cameltoes, I’ll never understand how they happen with jeans.

              I mean, I get that it’s because the pants aren’t a good fit, but wearing them for any amount of time must be literal torture, I’ve had thigh chafing from fabric and it’s hell, imagining that further up gives me nightmares.

                It’s a combo of the pants being a poor fit, the pants being badly designed, and the pants being cheaply made.

                Fashion industry standard drafts a single pattern for each style of pants in size 2/4/6, depending on brand, then just size it up or down without redrafting it to account for body fat distribution being uneven. So even if it’s the “correct” size, it may not actually fit your measurements. Cheap fabric tends to have less structure, and it won’t hold your body fat in as well as a fabric with a tighter weave.

                You can get underwear with some padding that doesn’t squeeze around the seams if you want to avoid it.

                I personally find thigh chafing to be more uncomfortable, and cameltoe is more like a front wedgie. It’s more unsightly than uncomfortable.

      Sundresses are wicked lovely to wear. I can heartily recommend it to any guys who are worried about doing so.

    Men set the craziest standards for other men, no wonder men’s mental health is in decline. Who tf can realistically achieve that look, those arms, that jaw. It’s giving me a crisis of masculinity just looking at it.

      I pretty much have those arms, but my jaw is closer to the lady on the left lmao

      But most of all, I do NOT have his waistline. Look at that v-taper. Thin in the middle, wide lats. I’d have to lose a good 40 KG to achieve that and the average man probably could not achieve that at all without years of working out because it’s pretty hard to get lats that wide.

        As a cis-het male, I am absolutely clueless about how comfortable or uncomfortable skirts are, let alone a cute dress like that.

        Maybe we’re missing out, guys.

          You can be cis-het and wear a sundress if you want to. Once you buy one, it stops being “women’s clothes” and becomes your clothes.

          Guys are absolutely missing out because skirts and dresses are awesome. Sometimes on hot days, I’ll move my skirt more because it’s hot and my partner says I’m “cooling down the vag”. He’s absolutely correct, it feels great on hot days and I bet guys would love it if y’all would try it out. Get yourself a kilt and go for it man.

              Eh, I’m at a stage where the gender binary makes zero sense when it comes to appearance and socialisation. Why do women wear dresses and men don’t? Because dead people decided that men should dress one way, and women another, and we still cut about like any of that shit matters. I like to wear dresses not because I might be trans, but because I like dressing pretty. I’m a man who likes to wear swishy skirts around the house, and it doesn’t bother my wife.

              Fat Mike said it best.

                yeah I think I’m around that stage too, I really don’t care for my appearance in that way too much but I try to comply in public to keep my job

                i might dress and put a wig or something on halloween, my husband doesnt really care that much on my gender, he is a self declared pansexual and we joke a lot around me being trans or not

                it’s difficult to put myself in any strict gender when i barely feel like performing as a person and it looks like a pain in the ass to perform femininity (i’m also very tall so performing masc is just existing for me)

    There was a mafia Don interview I saw and they asked him the #1 rule of being a mafioso. He said “never wear shorts, no one will take you seriously”😂I think about that every time I wear shorts

      I’m not a mafia boss, I wear shorts all summer (March/April through October or so) Office, doctor’s appointment, whatever. It’s shorts for me.

      I used to joke that one day I’m going to walk into the Mercedes dealership wearing shorts and ask them to test drive a brand new S-Class, but my priorities have changed somewhat in the meantime so I don’t think I’ll be doing that. Not such a huge fan of their newest interiors anyway.

    I think this applies the most to the average American man rather than the men of the rest of the world.

      I would like one, but unfortunately I am not diagnosed with autism. I do think it would be hilarious to wear it otherwise.

        You know, this comment was actually pretty inspiring for me. I only own one sundress, and it’s been sitting in my “to be repaired” bag for way too long. However, I am spending this weekend with a partner, and so I am suddenly motivated to repair that damn dress.
