    As a man, I can say that I have zero interest in fashion. I also feel sorry for women who are forced into stuff like that if they’re uninterested like me.

      Don’t forget a hundred years ago you’d be in a stiff starchy shirt, pants, suit, vest, etc. You might have had a different opinion in that circumstance, if not only for the reason of comfort.

      The thing is, we women get to choose whatever we want to wear and it’s all “women’s clothes”. They’re super varied and come in all shapes and colours.

      Guys just get 73 variations of a button shirt, a t-shirt or a sweater and the same pants made out of three materials. I feel kinda bad for you all.

        I’m quite happy not to have choice 😅.

        I even just buy a subset of that, so all my pants, shirts and sweaters go together. When something is dirty, I just take the higher thing in my drawer, while my wife has to choose her clothes the day before because it takes time to find what goes with what.

        I have a second, smaller subset for formal occasions, and that’s all.

          One important thing about having choice is that you don’t necessarily have to exercise it. It’s perfectly cool for a woman to say that she doesn’t give a shit about fashion and to wear an identical combination of monocolored T-shirt and jeans every single day.

          Sure, she’d be unfashionable but it’s only in certain circles that being fashionable counts for anything. (And, quite frankly, in those circles you’d be looked at with derision as well because you wear the incorrect cut of jeans for this year. Men’s fashion is super constrained but does exist.)

        Genuinely had a moment of: There’s a third material for pants?

        And when I say “moment”, I mean that I’m still not sure what the third material would be. In this household, we do not venture forth beyond jeans, because, well, see the post.

        this is why i’m a big fan of (real) viking style clothing, i think it just somehow works with modern aesthetics without anyone thinking you’re super weird for wearing it.
        You just have to go with mostly dull colours and probably skip the cloak (sadly), but aside from that you just end up looking like an enthusiastic camper.

      That episode had such a great lesson, which I didn’t fully appreciate when I watched it as a kid, but that I think impacted me on some level. Fashions come and go. Dress how you like, regardless of what others do.
