      That episode had such a great lesson, which I didn’t fully appreciate when I watched it as a kid, but that I think impacted me on some level. Fashions come and go. Dress how you like, regardless of what others do.

    As a man, I can say that I have zero interest in fashion. I also feel sorry for women who are forced into stuff like that if they’re uninterested like me.

      Don’t forget a hundred years ago you’d be in a stiff starchy shirt, pants, suit, vest, etc. You might have had a different opinion in that circumstance, if not only for the reason of comfort.

      The thing is, we women get to choose whatever we want to wear and it’s all “women’s clothes”. They’re super varied and come in all shapes and colours.

      Guys just get 73 variations of a button shirt, a t-shirt or a sweater and the same pants made out of three materials. I feel kinda bad for you all.

        this is why i’m a big fan of (real) viking style clothing, i think it just somehow works with modern aesthetics without anyone thinking you’re super weird for wearing it.
        You just have to go with mostly dull colours and probably skip the cloak (sadly), but aside from that you just end up looking like an enthusiastic camper.

        Genuinely had a moment of: There’s a third material for pants?

        And when I say “moment”, I mean that I’m still not sure what the third material would be. In this household, we do not venture forth beyond jeans, because, well, see the post.

    It’s funny, because a common complaint about women’s clothing is that they aren’t as comfortable as mens. In addition, they lack utility (pockets), and continuity of size (even measures are a lie). I guess the one place women’s clothes really shine is being super cute without necessarily being formal. Which brings up the whole problem I run into. What limb do I have to give to have formal clothes with utility, comfort, and continuity that also include some frills?
