My personality is eccentric enough. I dress plainly because an eccentric outfit would be a hat on a hat.

About 200 pounds of excess weight and my desire is more of leather cyberpunk.

That's funny, I know that it is but I still quite like it. Funny how human brains work.

[–] Epzillon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I like it, always been very fond of vibrant and saturated, almost neon-esque, colors. But for me it would be the same reason Im not expressing anything else about myself. Too afraid of the social aspect. Just afraid people would critizise, be disrespectful or any other bigoted comments im not sure how i would respond to. 

Man, if I didnt grow up getting screamed at I would be unstoppable 🙃

Not too late to unravel that thread a little bit and move in a direction that you want to. People change all the time. 💪

Thank you, last few years, especially last one, has been very eye opening since I actually started seeing a therapist. We're getting somewhere, atleast 😅

Remove the jacket, replace the leggings for some loose trousers and that's a pretty cool look. I dare say cute/badass.

[–] jeffep@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I don't own such clothes

[–] AceOnTrack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago

My basic understanding of fashion

Well, lets jusr say, my peanits

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

I love myself too much to look like a clown.

I work from home, so I'd just be sitting in this colorful weird outfit and showing it to my dog and cats.

[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

I'm not seeing the problem here 🤔

That coat is probably like $600

Not for everyone but extroverts and avant-garde hyper-creatives in their 20s and 30s, slim at up to 60kg.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It’s too attention getting and I prefer to not attract attention

[–] jeffep@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Okay, you got my attention now.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

I don't desire to look like a child ate a whole pack of crayon and then threw up on me?

[–] czer0_@sh.itjust.works 5 points 14 hours ago

Common sense.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

They only sell those in child size 😮‍💨

I'm a 50 year old man with functioning retinas...

I’m not super into the “learn to dress” doll aesthetic, tbh :p

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

three reasons

No sponsorship from Benneton

and most imprtantly

80% of my clothes are soruced by my parter from the local Op Shop and we live in a religious conservative area (am a left wing aethiest), so no donations to buy there.

also, i tend to dress in some colourful clothes rather then drab grey and black but I'd feel odd cosplaying as a licorice allsort

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 9 points 20 hours ago

That outfit somehow looks both expensive as hell and cheap as hell.

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Me being a man. So clothes shops go "you will wear grey, maybe black, some blue and fugly green. Go on, chop-chop"

[–] 1D10@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm a man, I buy all my clothes online and don't let anyone tell me what I should or should not wear. I'm not here to fit some preconceived stereotypes,or conform to expectations.

Stores sell "mens" nail polish in camo colors, but guess what they will let men buy the pretty colors as well, and they work just as well on male nails as female.

Dress how you want.

[–] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 4 points 8 hours ago

Is it sad my brain saw "Nail polish in camo colours" and immediately thought of tartan paint, wondering how they got the colours to not immediately mix.

[–] FlyingCrow@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It's such a struggle to find a variety of colourful clothes for guys :(

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Not at all. Just don't shop at generic stores.

[–] 1D10@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Right? Even just typing "mens clothes" in a search engine brings up every color you could want.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

being a woman, I only like these colors lmao

Budget and skill. In reality a bona fide attempt from me would probably end up more like this:

I think it looks cool, but I don't wear logos.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

I don't want to dress like a Kindergartner.
