I need new clothes but every time I go out 95% of what I see on offer is so bog-standard male. Solid earth tones, baggy one-size-fits-all, muted colors, work-wear adjacent, etc.
It's so hard to find stuff that's more, I dunno, "playful?" I'd like to have some clothes are that more of an expression of my personality but almost never do I see more unusual, expressive, colorful stuff in the brick-and-mortar stores.
To compound this, I'd also like it to:
- not cost me an arm and a leg
- be interesting but not clownish/overly ironic/jokey
This has mostly led me to buying floral shirts but a man cannot live on floral shirts alone! Does anyone know of retailers that might fit the bill?
We have the Great Male Renunciation to blame for the bleak state of masculine apparel today. At some point towards the end of the 18th century, some well-to-do European gent said “fellas, is it gay to wear colours?”, and here we are
Wow, never heard of this. Crazy shit.
