Normalize male fashion that isn't boring

Client: Hey I’m a villain in an anime setting who is looking to intimidate an everyman protagonist.
Tailor: Will you be saying “Muhaha?”
Client: Oh most definitely.
Tailor: Better add the cape then.

I sent this to my friend along with a message about how much I’d love to see men start wearing this sort of thing, and his response was nothing but “that would get so dirty”

😭 quit being practical! Get it professionally cleaned between use, like a tux! Rent it or smth! Wedding dresses drag on the floor too, but you, the man, are too good to get dirty?????

Smdh.

I'm not going to lie. I love it.

This reminds me of this Georgian wedding attire:

Square Enix has entered the Fashion Industry.

We’re still slowly working our way out of a doldrums era where male clothing has to be undecorative and functional. C’mon lads, we can do this! Let’s peacock again.

The only thing I could pull off with that outfit is the hairstyle.

Ahh to be overweight and the ability to make anything seemingly cool look like a holloween costume.

On the one hand: It's downright regal and impressive. Imposing, even.

On the other: I don't own enough land, or run enough countries, to pull this look off.

For a fun photoshoot, sure, but we'd better have other costumed people and a movie set to contextualize it as something wholly fictional and otherworldly. Otherwise, as this thread illustrates, people are going to draw their own conclusions and they're not all going to be nice.

Looks cool, but I've got my heart set on "sexy clown."

let's normalize this nice ass shit as normal man clothes.

Btw, has this anime archetype a name? You know, with a weird hat and a saber or canons, usually a general or something, often a endboss, always dangerous.

What is life and love if not a permadeath game of Fire Emblem with me as the caped protagonist and my wife, the canonical love interest.

Anime villain look

From the Millardo Peacecraft collection we offer Zech's very own wedding cape.

The Legend of the Galactic Heroes collection. For when you absolutely have to upstage the bride.

Definitely need to marry an anime obsessed girl, for this and all the other reasons.

Right. My "marriage". It's the costume that's the problem.
