I would dress like a kid if they made the cool kids designs in large adult sizes. They have all the best shit. The mens section is a sea of drab, lifeless bullshit. How come we don’t get head-to-toe Spongebob outfits? It’s not fair.
I wear colorful men’s clothes. Fun designs on things like short sleeve button shirts in the summer (Hawaiian shirts and similar things), fun sweaters in the winter.
Even my office wear usually has a splash of personality, with the amount of subtlety appropriate for the setting: suits or jackets with interesting textures and weave patterns, neckties with interesting designs, a bright color on my socks. Some settings allow for a bit more expression, and other choices can be more adventurous if you prefer, including intentionally contrasting choices in glasses, watches, shoes, other accessories. Even a pair of headphones can be a fashion accessory, although it is true that women seem to be able to pull that off better.
You showing up to work:
Wtf happen to his nose
I own this and it has made me a better person.
Just how bad were you before you bought it?
I mean, SpongeBob’s outfit is khaki shorts, a black belt, high white socks, a white short sleeve button down, and a tie. The men’s section absolutely has all of that.
To clarify, I mean a Spongebob themed outfit. Graphic T, graphic pants, themed shoes and socks. I see a lot of these complete outfit sets in the kids section and I’m always kinda jealous.
I’m the exact opposite. Always have been. Everyone has always tried to get me to, “Find my style,” bitch please! My style is nice and boring no design heather gray, solid black, forest green and gray t-shirts with a pocket, pain black relaxed fit wrangler jeans or cargo shorts that go below the knee for biking or to longer events that I don’t want to feel the wind on my knees or exposed in.
Also, when you bike as a dude when you wear something like 6" to 8" inseam for shorts, you’re gonna either be wearing something skin tight where your balls are up against the shorts and I’ve always wondered if there’s a sports cup at play or feel like you’re wearing boxers. Maybe that’s just me. 10" inseam is the shortest I can go and yeah I know I have autism but I can’t relax with anything shorter.
Then there’s the whole crew vs quarter cut for men and if you wear ankle cut as a dude in the summer you have a sick obsession with enjoying blisters. Anytime really, like fuckin’ shit ankle cut socks are SHIT!!! Quarter Cut Socks especially dickies are the fucking best!!! If you wear crew cut socks in the summer with shorts you piss me off because I get the comfort at home but out in public, it looks so fuckin’ stupid.
I dress like a background character in a cartoon. Less time thinking about my outfit means more time to do literally anything else.
I’ve worn 5" inseam running shorts for mountain biking sometimes. It’s not so bad bus sometimes you bounce your knee/thigh off the top tube and that can leave a bruise. I usually wear 7" inseam tho.
There are some cycling bibs that have better ball comfort, they will excentuate your package.
if a cycling bib doesnt have good ball comfort, it’s not one you should wear tbh.
Unless you’re into that sort of thing.
Sidenote, come to scotland, the land of it being socially acceptable for men to wear whatever they want, including kilts, dresses and cones as hats.
I look good.
I mean, I’m not like fashionable or anything, but I’m certainly not goofy.
Then why did I reply? - is a question I will be pondering thoughtfully and humbly for a bit.
Men could look exaclty like the left one if people just stopped being crying about it.
vice versa
Love me a woman who goes hiking with me
My ratios are pretty off to look exactly like the left. Body hair, too.
psh just lacking effort bro beauty is pain
Yes, I’d love to see more men in frocks, please.
It’s going to get so hot, we may end up needing to rethink some things.
You bring up a very good point.
Where did you get the picture of me and my wife!?
Nothing stopping y’all from dressing like the person on the left.
Reading this with a passion flower in my hair on my way to a tiki party.
But I want to dress like the one on the right :'(
Rock on!
My frame and lack of utility in the outfit is
Yeah, doesnt have a single pocket.
Throw a utility belt on top, it’ll still look great.
Just whack a holster on and this’ll be a sport lil number for the unsuspecting masses, I say go for it OP
Need that hat
What is this? Germany in 2026?
The shorts should be cargo shorts, and he should be wearing sandals with socks too.
a warcraft 3 peon.
Work work.
NGL that’s a pretty cool shirt and cap tho
Its a shame the metallica logo is so good…
Brod is looking dope.
Question: what is a less autism summer outfit for a guy?
Inb4 “You can also wear a summer dress” - no. I don’t want to.
Look up boardwalk casual
I’m more like
This requires good looks is the problem.
That’s not true. You don’t need to mimic the model you can buy the clothes, try them on and see if you like them on you. If you don’t send them back. The best pair of shorts I have is model led by an Asian dude and he’s like an ordinary looking individual and then those pants are the same as I have and they’re modelled by that guy.
Skin tone, height and body type is what you should be focusing on for a comparison. Trying to mimic a model, will always leave you feeling discouraged.
Oh I like the way I dress. I make an effort to look my best but Im saying that they use models to make the clothes as appealing as they can. It was mostly a self-depricating joke.
It was mostly a self-depricating joke.
That was missed on my end. Sorry about that.
What, a shirt and khaki shorts? Or are the beautiful blond curls part of the outfit?
Gotta comply with rule no.1 to do the outfit
Never talk about [DATA EXPUNGED]?
Always be [REDACTED]
Don’t forgot about rule no.2 as well.
Welcome to men’s fashion. It all boils down to top + pants and how well they fit on you. There’s a reason fashion games all feature female characters
My mild take is that there’s nothing wrong with that outfit.
You could probably do a non-tshirt top, like a breezy short sleeve button down or more relaxed top. Maybe non khaki colored shorts, but it’s fine as is.
Linen shirts and trousers
Browse through the summer look book of a designer you like. Ralph Lauren, or maybe Drakes are pretty inoffensive and safe bets for a classic look. Both are expensive brands, but you’re only buying inspiration anyway.
My own personal advice, for what it’s worth. Not inclusive of all social situations, but…
If they’re long pants, they’re linen. If they’re short pants, shorter inseams look a little more fashionable than knee length cargo shorts.
If they’re long sleeves, they’re linen. If they’re short sleeves, then something that has a collar.
Shoes are of the boat variety, or sandals.
My uncle says men should never show their bare legs or feet in public, though you should probably decide that for yourself.
Bold of you to assume I’ve heard of any designer or even know what a summer look book is supposed to be (I guess the name is quite self explanatory).
As a man, I like this arrangement better than the other way around.
But men in pretty frocks look good … everyone should wear them.
Plus, they’re better than shorts and t-shirt for keeping cool :-)
I want that shirt not gonna lie
Autism is anything expressing non-normative personality or interests.
No, its that person who can’t read social signs or body language at all… :)
I think it’s charming though. Everyone here has a right to be here and a right to be treated well by others. But that also means to tell autistic people how not to make others uncomfortable, if they don’t know how.
Yet the shorts and t-shirt is super normative
I’m on shorts and shirt rn :(
There’s a reason they’re normative - comfy, hard wearing, easy to clean, don’t need ironing, practical pockets, modest (which matters to some people, I’m told)
