    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).

  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

What kind of dreses should we wear as men, pretty pink maid outfits or black maid outfits?

Legit one of the nicest parts about WFH, I just wear loose basketball shorts. Feels so nice.

I've almost stopped wearing shorts completely. Except for swimming. I now wear UPF sun protected pants and sun hoodies most of the time outside. Hate sunscreen but hate being burned more. I've watched my dad get a lot of potentially cancerous moles removed. I'm trying to prevent that

I quite like pants and am very uncomfortable in a dress, so I wouldn't want to give up pants for dresses.

I love to wear dresses! Unfortunately the social stigma is still strong, even in progressive environments. I’d love to see a world where dressing is not a gendered matter.

I would never wear a dress. Pants are fine with me. I'd be perfectly content just wearing jeans and a t shirt for the rest of my life.

Not me, I wear comfy loose shorts all summer. They are so loose and comfy that my dong can be seen flopping around as I walk. I imagine it's somewhat close to what a dress might feel like, and it's very comfy in the hot months.

Tbf, regarding dresses, skirts and other gowns: Your legs never get pinched, you can just fold your legs up under you when sitting down, as a guy you can just lift it up to pee and don't risk getting your member stuck in the zipper, as a girl, if you have the proper underwear, you don't need to take of your pants, many long skirts actually come with pockets or you can mod pocket slits into them and wear historical pockets under them, you can have them in any length, some pants lengths are silly, skirts allow more air ciruclation, just wear them made of the weather appropriate material...

But honestly, as a guy who grew up doing late High Medieval Living History (about the time of Friedrich II of the HRE), dresses are frigging lit. Just pull it over, secure with your belt and pouch, put on your shoes, if it's cold get your cape. DONE. Go out there and look like the Anti-Christ, King of Jerusalem and "principum mundi maximus"

I used to feel really sad about having to wear pants all the time. Some might have even called it dysphoric.

An underrated aspect of dresses (IMO) is that it's all one garment - no deciding which shirt goes with which pants - it's all one thing. Of course you still need to choose other things like shoes, but it feels refreshingly simple to just have one garment. I guess you get the same benefit with jumpsuits but people wear those less.

I've often complained about how females have so many more options for clothing than men. Men get shirts and pants. You can choose to have long or short sleeves (same with pants). You can accessorize with a belt too! maybe a watch if you like. Beyond that uhh, that's all you get lol

If I actually wanted to wear a dress, I totally would. Somehow I can’t get over the idea of everyone looking up my crotch as soon as I sit down.

Middle easterners wear a juba. Which is a long flowy robe that is not unlike a dress.

[–] MeccAnon@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I would gladly wear a Roman senatorial toga all the time.

I've never wanted to wear a dress, I do however enjoy the fact that I can work naked from home.

If it's not comfy, I'm not wearing it.

[–] KalabiYau@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

nah it's alright

[–] menemen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No need for dresses. Just make baggy cargo pants (and cargo shorts fo those of us who , unlike me, like shorts) fashionable and business code compliant.
