I wish it was socially acceptable for men to wear the colorful stuff women do on formal occasions. It's almost always black, white, grey or maybe dark blue.
I want things like paisley suits to be considered normal. Why not? It's just a pattern.
I'm not saying it because I want to do it, I'm saying it because I want to see it. Make congress a sea of color rather than a bit here and a bit there.
This guy shops at Better Call Saul's
I honestly wish more stuff that is shown on runways would make it over to men. There’s a lot of fun that can be had. Plain suits are boring, even if you add color to them.
First 3 look like final fantasy protagonists
That last one looks like a pirate and I want it
Last one rocks so fucking hard. I'd wear that shit to bed.
The middle one in top picture looks like a stolen star wars costumes xD
Oddly enough. The first place I saw this was 3yrs ago in a reddit thread on /r/funny, because they said it was only missing a light saber.
These days if I see something on a runway, I assume that's the only time I'll ever see it. But I like the designs.
These are from 2016, so I don’t think we’ll see this unless some fashion company resurrects the idea.
I wish it were acceptable for men to wear bright dresses.
I said that to my wife a few months ago, so she said “why don’t you try on some of mine?”
So yeah, I now have few dresses I wear around the house. They’re great. Nice and floaty.
Get a kilt for the out and about look, my good fellow. While wearing one will draw some looks, it is far more acceptable and good-looking and practical than an ill-fitting woman's dress.
Be this man.

Shouldnt have scrolled to the comments.
Lad’s got the legs for it!
Kilts are the answer.
I'm very close to getting one from here
All power to kilt wearers, but I feel that it’s an inherently different thing. It’s a specifically gendered garment, a ruggedised, masculinised form of skirt that it’s acceptable for some men to wear. Cool though they are, they’re not as fun and floaty as a light skirt and a pretty dress.
Not me, I hear dresses can be drafty.
Depends on where you are, init. It was bloody glorious during the summer, walking downstairs, gathering a ball of cool air in the skirt. When it gets cold, wear leggings.
I once found a sick purple/red paisley suit jacket.
At the register my family pleaded I not get it. That it's embarrassing to wear.
I feel you
Remember the Obama tan suit debacle?
Also paisley all the way.
I had an ex tell me once that I wore too much brown and dull greens.
Since then I've been aware of my color choices and have a lot of "loud" colors in my wardrobe. I will even intentionally wear clashing colors and have made it a style choice.
I still have browns and dull greens, but I have fun with them now.
All that said, I'll wear something until it starts wearing out then that'll be relegated to chore/diy project clothes.
I feel like you can, however it seems men take themselves too serious when dressing well. If you take yourself too serious as a man, wearing for example a pink suit will make you insecure.
So dark, solemn colors are easier to accept.
I wear suits for work and have them dark, but my social suits are light and colorful ( light blue, purple) and regardless I'll wear fun and colorful shirts with them.
Perhaps consider looking for decorative belt buckles, tie pins, cufflinks and similar suit accessories. It might not be flamboyant, but it may make your day. It provides that extra touch.
Or bring multiple bow ties and change them throughout the party just to mess with people.
those are socially acceptable though, the post your replying to is expressing a want for wider social acceptability. Imo look at the formal kimonos and jackets worn in japan. Many of those were heavily decorated for both men and women.
I have always wanted a kilt. But it's not socially acceptable where I live and frankly impractical 6 months out of the year due to well below freezing temps. No one would say anything directly to your face, but you would be stared at and talked about behind your back by everyone.
Any ideas on how to transition men's fashion? Could start with elaborate patterns and decor on suits. Shirts already have patterns of flowers, or birds on em. Why not suits too?
I think something like this yeah. I think particularly more like formal jackets with embroidery or prints.
Wear flannel?
Bring back 16th century men's fashion. Landsknechts were some stylish dudes
Congress is already a sea of color: green.
My fancy shirts are colorful silk patterns. I got bored of the old traditional formal wear, and I like the attention I get now.
I'm doing my part, I'm a Hawaiian shirt guy!
Nice. I used to be, but I wear T-shirts that amuse me most of the time these days.
Colors yeah
Suits nah thank you
Dress like Saul Goodman!
Uh...it is en vouge I think. Depends on your audience, but most of the kids these days are wearing flamboyant suits and they look sharp.
I wouldn't go to 80 olds on very nice retirement plans for fashion advice.
