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

[-] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years 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.

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

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

Kilts generally have pockets.

It's pretty fucking rocking having "man" privileges overall. I'd say this one evens it out a bit. I'm work from home and usually am in just shorts and it's fucking awesome.

Boxers-while-working gang rise up.

[-] speaker_hat@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Boxer is great, but I assume dresses are better

[-] Z4rK@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Any links to dress fashion for men?

I’m all for it. I hate wearing pants in the summer, but we’re not allowed to wear shorts. However, no one can refuse me wearing a long skirt or dress!

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.

[-] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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

I am fine but thank you for your concern.

[-] d4bn3y@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I like pants ?

[-] UnicornKitty@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

Keep paving the way!

[-] VasyaSovari@kbin.social 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
