Men's Fashion- why is it so boring and how do we fix it?

I'm really bored of the old jeans/chinos/khakis/slacks, polo/button down/tee/sweater for men's fashion. Women's fashion has a lot more dynamic range. When I look at attempts to make heterodox men's fashion, it's abominable, garish, ostentatious (It's a ghillie suit of goose feathers! It's a pink latex body suit!). Is there no reasonable middle ground? What recommendations do you have for a young guy trying to spice up his fashion?

>polo/button down/tee/sweater
> jeans/chinos/khakis/slack

The reasonable middle ground is just using these options more uniquely. Fabric, fit, and color are all points of variance. Also, outerwear + shoes are a nice way to spice things up because they can be mixed with many outfits with ease, changing the formality or informality in interesting ways.

I don't know what to tell you man you posted a picture of alt right neets so basically you just cherry picked the most inept autismo reddit group you could think of. maybe give the rest of the non-retarded male population more benefit of the doubt.

Well, let's take just shoes as an example. A woman can wear strappy gladiator sandals, platform boots, or stilettos- and still be acceptable. Men don't have the same range of acceptable footwear, but women can now wear men's footwear and be relatively fashionable.

Men do not worry about their appearances, it is considered vain, unimportant, feminine. Looking smart and professional is no longer stressed, and if it is, men with no individual taste or experience flock to the uniforms of their peers; whether it is a suit and tie or a polo and chinos, they wear what they think they are supposed to look like.

In Europe we can find strong masculine silhouettes, functional formal wear with thick, durable and often weather resistant materials. Wool that can stand to be dirtied and washed many times over, leather that will scuff and crust, polish and shine for decades to come, coats that will withstand winters and keep the wearer and their underclothes dry when responsibility demands that they head out in the worst of weather.

Recently Asian fashion has been experimenting more and more with the abandonment of conventional silhouettes, but they still have traditional menswear. Interestingly we see the continued experimentation with androdyny, inspired by the likes of KISS and David Bowie, popularized in the East by Visual Kei, and brought back to us through designer like Rei Kawakubo in the 80s and 90s. Slowly but steadily, the perceived femininity of fashion is dispelled, and men reclaim the appearance of status, wealth, competence and individuality through what they wear.

Tasteful men's fashion is out there (and not only in formal wear) but fast fashion brands rarely push these styles to the general population because there is no demand. While interesting and creative mens fashion ideas are constantly being produced, they are not being made accessible to the general public.

The major obstacle we face is that men do not care about what they look like, and if they do it is for dishonest means. I want women, so I will wear the costume of a man a woman desires. I want to look professional, so I will wear the costume of a business man. It is enough for fashion brands to sell cheap suits and dress shirts, when their customers have no individual tastes and will accept whatever they have been told looks right, without actually deciding it for themselves.

This reminds me of one of my friends; a long time ago we were talking, and he mentioned something along the lines of, "I wish capes were still in fashion."

And I proceeded to show him somewhere around 5-10 examples of capes and cape-like features that were showcased or played with by designers within the past few years, and he responded that he meant, "in fashion but also socially acceptable."

There is that constant societal perception of who can "pull off" what looks, but honestly there's so much weird, messed up, and bizarre stuff in the public sphere these days that I feel like if you wanna wear a damned cape, that's the least of society's problems. If you wear your unconventional fit with confidence and it's actually an interesting and functional piece, people might think it actually works well, and that's just trendsetting.

Mind you, this is also a friend whose regular outfit consists of graphic tees and cargo shorts, and he thinks turning that tee into a polo is "dressing up" so... I don't know what exactly he had in mind.

It's liberalism's and socialism's fault for twisting the male ideal to the working and average man instead of dressing to display wealth, power and taste.

Pre 1789 there was nobility and monarchies who dressed to impress each other and the commoners, the growing burgher class however dressed in black and white and in a more professional and uniform look.
As monarchies started to idealize the "soldier-king" from Charles XII and Napoleon the flamboyant noble fell out of favor (still the military uniform is what is considered formal wear for monarchs.

The average person however, especially in america learned to hate elitism and the upper classes and idealize the uneducated factory worker who doesn't care for fashion or dressing up.

So now Men only get to choose from jeans and pants with varying loose and slim fits, shirts sweaters and hoodies and caring any more than that makes you feminine.

Gangsta culture is closest to the nobility in taste, but due to low-class background isn't considered tasteful. Flaunting wealth with screaming brandwear and jewelry.

The true upper class wear conservative, designer suits and formal clothes because flaunting your wealth is in poor taste due to ideas of social equality.
