Pretty sure only aristocrats dressed like that.

There is absofukinglutely nothing stopping you from dressing like that, only yourself.

Mark Zuckerberg, who dresses pretty much like the guy on the right, then adds a watch worth $100k to indicate his status.

Ah yes, the Great Male Renunciation of fashion

Noble vs peasant.

wasn't the make up meant to hide the lesions and wigs to hide the peeling scalp and hair loss?

Maybe we have grown out as a society of that childish one-upping each other with made up rules?

Don't you ever insinuate i have boring socks ever again.

Rich cunts then:

Rich cunts now:

Poor cunts then:

Poor cunts now:

Or to put it another way, nothing has changed. The upper classes still dress like wankers who sniff their own farts, and the lower classes still dress with whatever they can afford that works for them.

Who's got boring socks? Not me, sir. 😤

Rich guys wearing really dour clothes is actually a relatively recent phenomenon in history. Up to the French Revolution the aristocrats were peacocked up to the max; maybe it was fear of the guillotine that saw their successors going around in North Face jackets.

Remember, the Roman's thought pants were for the effeminate easterners.

I do find it weird there's been this resurgence of fixation on superficial motifs being associated with masculinity, but the guys who parrot these views all have an appearance that screams, "I want to blend in and be invisible!"

Nothing masculine about tepid conformity.

Try it, you get lots of shit. I'd know.

Oh look, a clown.

I think they dropped a word there. I think "rich" was the word they dropped......

Call me a sissy but t-shirt and cargo pants for life!

See good buddy that's why you buy yourself thrift.

I wear suits that cost me 20 bucks that look better than what the president wears. Not that that's a high bar, but a worthy comparison.

Ugh, and this indoor plumbing and daily hygiene is such a chore.

You've obviously not been to a goth club recently ;)

That's where you're wrong, I only wear the most clown ass socks under my jeans

The title is implicitly responding to someone who thinks, "fashion is an important part of masculinity, and it's immutable," but has nothing to say to someone who thinks, "fashion is an important part of masculinity and can change."

The “now” person is a peasant, not man. Put some eyeliner on, at least!

that's why women are attracted to men in uniforms

Pantaloons with tights aren't completely dead, just shorts with long socks need to up their sock game

My socks are not boring, excuse me!

Tbh men like me are a step away from becoming cats and I would love to just be a cat. Every step we do that progresses men becoming cats is fine for me.

I’m wearing awesome socks. Those are anything but boring!

Wooden teeth, life's a beach.

Ahaha! Well played.

Casually forgetting that they didn't shower back then.

This is a man vs bear scenario, repainted to make the modern man look like what feminazis view us as. Simple as.

frankly, im not sure what point this stupid meme is trying to make.

Also did you see King Louis XIV shoes? Dude was flair.
