It's funny that Milo is wrong but putting a button on a jacket that you're not supposed to use for like 500 years is stupid.

everything about the western suit is a triumph of form over function and the use of many, many small details as signifiers for one to show they "belong" among those of high status, or betray through ignorance that they are interlopers, others, poors.

the necktie, the length of the jacket, the lines, lapel notches, vent locations, how the fabric rests and the location of seams and cuffs in relation to anatomy.

it's taken for granted that "it's hard for women to find clothing that fits" but it is impossible for a man to find a suit (the definitive costume of high status) off any rack that fits his specific body. all require tailoring, even custom cut to length options. a bespoke item is a 10-50x increase over a decent off-the-rack item that has been adjusted, and the bespoke item will come with consultation by the tailor about notches, flaps, buttons, button hole stitching, and a dozen other weird details to ensure the item meets the criteria for the desired range of casual and formal events.

it is the theater of western elitism.

yeah it's just another one of those things where we made up a bunch of bullshit rules so that rich people who have the time can memorize all those rules and then judge who does or does not belong in their social groups by how well they also memorized all the rules

that's what a lot of grammar rules are too

Meanwhile, if the bib overalls fit you, you're all set. Do whatever you want with the buttons there's no barons around to start squealing about it.

Separates the wheat from the chaff my good sir, what-what, cheerio!

"this man understood" this & that, bro you're literally talking about who their tailors were, these dudes literally did not dress themselves

now i expect Milo had this made/picked for him since it looks like a formal photoshoot too, but it's very silly to tote bourgeois pillocks as possessors of the secret knowledge of fashion; their tailors, costumiers, and wives did all that work.

I thought Milo was dead tbh

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I could have sworn he died in a grease fire or something

He just got fired as Kanye's chief of staff (real)

[-] highalectical@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 months ago

Last I heard, he had prayed the gay away ( get a load of this because that is totally something one can do).

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Normally I feel bad for people like that but cuz it's him I don't.

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

That must be why he's using that superfluous button

[-] highalectical@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 months ago

I just mixed Milo Yianopolis up with Yanis Verafakis for some reason.

What, cuz they're Greek? Do all Greeks look the same to you? /s agony-soviet

[-] highalectical@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 2 months ago

The Turks brainwashed me Manchurian Candidate style.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Greek, what is that? Some kind of Turk?

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

british style is wearing slightly ugly clothes that fit perfectly while pouring a pint into an ashtray for your dog at the pub

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
