A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  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!

Why wear a dress when you can just get naked instead? lennyface.jpg

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.

ong you get used to it after a while. it would be cool tho if it was socially acceptable for dudes to wear dresses. sun dresses look really comfy during the summer time.

Only if we can get rid of bras. Thats the trade!

this is why i am naked at home all the time. Clothes are so restrictive. bball shorts are a good second. Skirt/Kilt could be even more comfortable.

Don't feel sorry, I have shorts. And my pants are tech ones, so they're better than a dress anyways.

With this heat I am seriously considering looking in to kilts or just straight up getting a skirt. I don't know that it will be any nicer tbh.

I always say this! I don't understand how some women DON'T wear dresses. There's nothing better on a hot day.

A few years ago I was in a music video from a local band were I was dressed in drag. A skirt and a light shirt. It was one of those very hot summers and we'd be basically dancing in a basement in the video. I was happy like a little princess, jumping around between takes while everybody was sweating their balls off.

We want male manly dresses NOW!

I work remotely, and we're hardly ever on camera. I can be naked if I want.

I usually wear a tshirt and drawstring lounge shorts, no underwear.

I have a skirt to wear around the house :)

Southeast Asian batik clothes are a nice alternative to western clothing (for both men and women)

Here they can be considered both formal and casual so you can wear it for anything. I'm a big fan of batik pants myself.

I already see more men wearing skirts in summer and it brings me so much joy. I've said it before and will say it again; clothes don't need to be gendered. If something looks good on a woman it will look good on a man too, and vice versa.

Skirts, dresses, capris, shoulder length sleeves shirts... I'm over here suffering in long pants and long sleeves all summer.

Don't feel bad for us. I like my pants. Even on a blistering hot day at work they keep me safer from burns and cuts and when I'm out hiking in jeans I don't have tick problems
