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'd love to try, but my legs are hairy and I'd hate to walk around with my underwear exposed, it's like walking with your fly open but like worse. Idk how girls do it but i respect that.

I agree with your overall sentiment, but I'm good keeping my ugly knees and hairy legs covered.

[-] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Your body, your choice. If you really don't like hair you could shave it. I hope you can learn to love your knees, you've got 'em for the rest of your life.

Feel the cool breeze whisper through your knee hair, join us.

With this heat I am seriously considering looking in to kilts or just straight up getting a skirt. I don't know that it will be any nicer tbh.

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Kilts generally have pockets.

My shitty lifehack is tan colored gym shorts that look like khaki shorts. I can wear them with a polo and they're comfy as hell

Boxers-while-working gang rise up.

[-] speaker_hat@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Boxer is great, but I assume dresses are better

[-] kava@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

This is why I am nude 100% of the time.

I am fine but thank you for your concern.

[-] d4bn3y@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I like pants ?

[-] UnicornKitty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Guys generally wear skirts or kilts in protest. We had a guy at work (US) wear his kilt a lot in the summer, as intended btw, as a protest for allowing shorts in a workplace that doesn't face customers. He got reprimanded exactly once. He is Scottish in ancestry and the kilt was real, although he also had one that looked like cargo pants too with pockets all over it.

[-] Schart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Skirts, dresses, capris, shoulder length sleeves shirts... I'm over here suffering in long pants and long sleeves all summer.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Was hot enough the other day I pulled out the ranger panties at work, no shame. Those are good enough tbh!

[-] djflusso@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Keep paving the way!

[-] VasyaSovari@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

@atomicorange I've been kilt-only for two years now and the very idea of ever having to wear trousers again is outright horrible.
I've also tried skirts, dresses. and women's things in general but holy crap most of it is just wildly uncomfortable and not remotely functional. The entire Western clothing industry is caught in a serious rut

[-] yerbuddyboston@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I’m all in favor of this. Now we just have to get everyone else on board. And like others have said, find dresses that actually look good on men. I (m) have been trying out dresses for a while and finding something that looks good on me is a challenge.

[-] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Legit one of the nicest parts about WFH, I just wear loose basketball shorts. Feels so nice.

[-] beingben@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fellow WFH'er over here - basketball shorts, joggers, hell... even briefs when it's particularly warm!
