I own this and it has made me a better person.

You showing up to work:

I'm the exact opposite. Always have been. Everyone has always tried to get me to, "Find my style," bitch please! My style is nice and boring no design heather gray, solid black, forest green and gray t-shirts with a pocket, pain black relaxed fit wrangler jeans or cargo shorts that go below the knee for biking or to longer events that I don't want to feel the wind on my knees or exposed in.

Also, when you bike as a dude when you wear something like 6" to 8" inseam for shorts, you're gonna either be wearing something skin tight where your balls are up against the shorts and I've always wondered if there's a sports cup at play or feel like you're wearing boxers. Maybe that's just me. 10" inseam is the shortest I can go and yeah I know I have autism but I can't relax with anything shorter.

Then there's the whole crew vs quarter cut for men and if you wear ankle cut as a dude in the summer you have a sick obsession with enjoying blisters. Anytime really, like fuckin' shit ankle cut socks are SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quarter Cut Socks especially dickies are the fucking best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you wear crew cut socks in the summer with shorts you piss me off because I get the comfort at home but out in public, it looks so fuckin' stupid.

I wear colorful men's clothes. Fun designs on things like short sleeve button shirts in the summer (Hawaiian shirts and similar things), fun sweaters in the winter.

Even my office wear usually has a splash of personality, with the amount of subtlety appropriate for the setting: suits or jackets with interesting textures and weave patterns, neckties with interesting designs, a bright color on my socks. Some settings allow for a bit more expression, and other choices can be more adventurous if you prefer, including intentionally contrasting choices in glasses, watches, shoes, other accessories. Even a pair of headphones can be a fashion accessory, although it is true that women seem to be able to pull that off better.

I mean, SpongeBob's outfit is khaki shorts, a black belt, high white socks, a white short sleeve button down, and a tie. The men's section absolutely has all of that.

vice versa

My ratios are pretty off to look exactly like the left. Body hair, too.

I reckon we all make a conserted effort, summer will be a breeze in that

No one stopping you from wearing a dress

Anyway

Never seen a cape

Can we normalize capes again?, like cmon! This is so cool:

It's an interesting phenomenon, because throughout most of human history it was men who wore (if they could) flamboyant outfits, while women tended to be more demurely dressed. Sexually dimorphic species (ducks, peacocks, etc.) are often similar, with males having vibrant colours. What changed, and why? I'm sure some sociologist has thought of an answer.

Signed, plainly dressed man.

Wisdom Kaye is a male model and he does great videos exploring a more diverse perspective on men's fashion. It may not be exactly what I looking for, but it's definitely a fresh new perspective compared to what I see in day to day male fashion.

No, its that person who can't read social signs or body language at all... :)

I think it's charming though. Everyone here has a right to be here and a right to be treated well by others. But that also means to tell autistic people how not to make others uncomfortable, if they don't know how.

Look up boardwalk casual

My mild take is that there's nothing wrong with that outfit.

You could probably do a non-tshirt top, like a breezy short sleeve button down or more relaxed top. Maybe non khaki colored shorts, but it's fine as is.

Browse through the summer look book of a designer you like. Ralph Lauren, or maybe Drakes are pretty inoffensive and safe bets for a classic look. Both are expensive brands, but you're only buying inspiration anyway.

My own personal advice, for what it's worth. Not inclusive of all social situations, but...

If they're long pants, they're linen. If they're short pants, shorter inseams look a little more fashionable than knee length cargo shorts.

If they're long sleeves, they're linen. If they're short sleeves, then something that has a collar.

Shoes are of the boat variety, or sandals.

My uncle says men should never show their bare legs or feet in public, though you should probably decide that for yourself.

My frame and lack of utility in the outfit is

But I want to dress like the one on the right :'(

Reading this with a passion flower in my hair on my way to a tiki party.
