I’m not going to lie. I love it.
Foreal dude, this is savage
ty for being honest.
I’d love to marry a dude rocking this. He better walk down the aisle too tho
Walk nothing. I’ll be on a palanquin carried by my groomsmen.
are they in formal attire or just a loincloth as is custom?
It’s a formal occasion so loincloths, French cuffs (not the shirt, just the cuffs), and bowties. And formal sandals.
That’s called Chippendales.

Okay then
I never saw Chip, Dale, Monterey Jack, Gadget, or Zipper dressed like that.
What is life and love if not a permadeath game of Fire Emblem with me as the caped protagonist and my wife, the canonical love interest.
Sure, let’s make wedding industry even more expensive, we’ve all got cash to spare.
Client: Hey I’m a villain in an anime setting who is looking to intimidate an everyman protagonist.
Tailor: Will you be saying “Muhaha?”
Client: Oh most definitely.
Tailor: Better add the cape then.
Oh man, did you know that the capes thing was actually in-world propaganda/disinformation in the movies? Syndrome killed all the people listed as having cape accidents, so it was like a go-to coverup that they died in cape related ways, like the people making the cover stories didn’t have the creativity to come up with anything else. And it just ended up making capes seem like a bad idea.
Wait, does the movie actually show that? Are any of the same heroes cited by Edna as cape accidents also shown in Syndrome’s database as being killed by him instead?
Yeah, it doesn’t point it out, but if you check the names, they are all there.
This got me curious enough to go re-watch the scenes involved. The five supers Edna names are not shown in Syndrome’s records (at least not the ones Bob looks up).
Ah, nevermind then. I was taking it on word from someone else. Guess I shouldn’t do that, even for something that would be weird to make up.
Always remember that people can just go on the internet and say shit.
Is this image playing at about 396fps, or is my lemmy browsing app not able to handle this image right?

It’s clearly meant for an campily arch anime villain, mwahaha
Normalize male fashion that isn’t boring
that’s just a royaltyslop version of the great male renunciation. we can go better once we get the guillotines
Still better than a suit and tie. Also the guillotines got us into this situation in the first place. (Not that I want the kings back, just some of their fashion)
didn’t the Great male renunciation started by British royalty? seems like guillotines could have saved us.
Beau fucking Brummel.
I thought that it was after the French decided that their kings were to pompous and started wearing military outfits (after the king mysteriously disappeared). I could be wrong tho, the British royals could use some less gold.
thought it started with Victorian England. I’m too tired to double check or get in a rabbit hole right now. either way the guillotine is worth a try
I’m not going to ignore fancy royal shit. I want to embrace it. I want to normalize fancy shit as a way for people to build a unique and definable personal fashion statement. The rich like it because it’s inaccessible to the hoi poloi and the poors.
I want to infringe on their culture. Appropriate it for us normal people. Make the fashion of the rich pivot to something minimal and encourage them to really pull back because there is nothing they can do except spend more to get less. I want to rob the rich of all their comforts starting with how they see themselves.
claps you make me wish i could really sew.
Youtube videos to learn and estate and garage sales for the sewing machine. So many Nana’s have a family that doesn’t know how to use her well loved hobby machine.
do it, feel free to ad more colours and flare.
Men, get yourself a male corset. You can thank me later.
For anyone with mild dyslexia: corset and escort are not the same
True, but you’re allowed to have both.
It’s going to either be useless or uncomfortable. That’s a no for me dawg
They’re quite comfortable. Can be too warm in the summer.
I mean either it is shaping you and that’s gonna be uncomfortable or they’re not in which case… what’s the point
It tends to force good posture.
Just try one. There’s some fairly affordable ones on Aliexpress.
I’m good
On the one hand: It’s downright regal and impressive. Imposing, even.
On the other: I don’t own enough land, or run enough countries, to pull this look off.
For a fun photoshoot, sure, but we’d better have other costumed people and a movie set to contextualize it as something wholly fictional and otherworldly. Otherwise, as this thread illustrates, people are going to draw their own conclusions and they’re not all going to be nice.
Eh, I’d say it just takes the right event. Beers with the boys at the blue-collar bar? Probably a bad idea. Any event that says ‘semi-formal’ to ‘formal’? Fuck it, we ball.
Anime villain look
Gives real gonna get shot in Sarajewo vibes.
So if you’re lonely, you know I’m here waiting for you / I’m just a cross-hair, I’m just a shot away from you
Bulletproof capes when?
Maybe not this particular getup but I remember seeing some earthy tone capes that looked a bit like what you’d expect Aragorn or the hobbits to be wearing, but not that similar that it looks like a cosplay, and those looked pretty comfy and practical (didn’t drag on the floor).
Ahh to be overweight and the ability to make anything seemingly cool look like a holloween costume.
There are options, you just need a different cut.
This, OP’s image, wouldn’t work for me. Not saying there isn’t anything that might be as cool. Im thinking, full mech suit.
I think I saw something with an older Orson Welles in something kinda similar a step or two less dramatic. English noblemen wore something less embellished for a while. I think one of the Louie’s wore a cape with heels and mostly nailed it.
You’re just afraid to work and experiment with the realities of your body and what works on it visually.
The thing i like about this outfit is the dark esthetic with a sharp profile. Rounding it out wouldn’t be as cool imo and adding embellishments to mimic the sharp angles would make it over sized.
There’s options, man.
Yes, mech suit. Im ready.
We’re still slowly working our way out of a doldrums era where male clothing has to be undecorative and functional. C’mon lads, we can do this! Let’s peacock again.
DANDY TIME
Fuck it if men don’t want capes I’m taking them. Theyre too god looking to be gendered anyways.
It’s not that men don’t want capes. We’re just not sure we’re enough of a superhero to wear them :'(
Someone wearing that cape is not a superhero. Villans always get the beat outfits after all.
Good point. Not sure I could rise to that level of villainy either. You can’t just go walking around in a getup like that if you’re a mid level henchman.
According to edna its a bad idea. Gets snagged to often.
If you dont get married, you have a financial firewall for when the Healthcare system comes to suck you dry like the vampire it is.
You don’t need that in civilized countries
Nope. I can’t pull this off. I’ll stick to ‘boring’ clothes, thanks.
Coward. Your gender are all¹ fucking cowards!
Except the guy pictured wearing this in another reply
OK. Not like I’m getting married anyway.
I meant for daily wear!
