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!

I'm a guy and really like wearing long skirts. They're just so comfy for me and i can't wear them outside =(

Sarongs are the answer. In warmer months I wear them often.

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

I still have to wear a full suit :'(

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.

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

[-] ComradeKeen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Can we keep sportsbras at least? I don’t want to end up with a back injury…

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

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