This is pretty much the formal attire / fashion style from Code Geass, for the Brittanian royalty… but made for actual human beings with actual human being proportions/postures.
Somebody actually made a take on a formal empress dress for I guess CC?:
That’s crazy I saw this post and immediately thought Code Geass as well
Let us not forget the GOAT of both fashion and being a shameless marketing insert, the OG squishmallow, CC’s actual, one true love:
Cheese-kun.
(Brought to you by Pizza Hut, which somehow exists in Geass’ widely divergent alt-history, don’t think about it, just buy some pizza, and body sized plushie!)
Anime villain look
Reminds me of the clothes in otome isekais
True only thing I could pull off with that outfit is the hairstyle.
The Legend of the Galactic Heroes collection. For when you absolutely have to upstage the bride.
Ahh to be overweight and the ability to make anything seemingly cool look like a holloween costume.
There are options, you just need a different cut.
This, OP’s image, wouldn’t work for me. Not saying there isn’t anything that might be as cool. Im thinking, full mech suit.
I think I saw something with an older Orson Welles in something kinda similar a step or two less dramatic. English noblemen wore something less embellished for a while. I think one of the Louie’s wore a cape with heels and mostly nailed it.
You’re just afraid to work and experiment with the realities of your body and what works on it visually.
The thing i like about this outfit is the dark esthetic with a sharp profile. Rounding it out wouldn’t be as cool imo and adding embellishments to mimic the sharp angles would make it over sized.
There’s options, man.
Yes, mech suit. Im ready.
This reminds me of this Georgian wedding attire:
I too need a vest of throwing knives.
Every girl’s crazy about a sharp dressed man.
hahahaha nice
I would like both these outfits please.
The man’s coat is some variation of the traditional go-to celebratory attire of Georgia and other Caucasian cultures. Originally also used as a military garb, afaik, if not an everyday dress even. It’s called chokha or cherkeska.
I love that Americans think Caucasians means white people. Actually, scratch that, I hate it because it’s based on 19th Century pseudo-scientific nonsense that literally claims that “mongoloid” is a sub-race of humanity.
It’s not our fault, all our standardized tests growing up had us pick that bubble if we were white and it never came up anywhere else.
That’s one of the reasons but there’s also the fact that we had no fucking clue where white people were from and most of the oldest artifacts from before the Iron Curtain were found in the Caucasian mountains. Given that the Hittites were the oldest known and best researched Indo-European group and their proximity to the Caucasian mountains you end up with a bit of a weird bias.
While a lot of this shit has origins in 1800s racism the ones that stuck around did so because of long term misunderstandings. There was also a short lived hypothesis that different “races” evolved from different species of ape, though that one didn’t survive particularly long.
Looks cool, but I’ve got my heart set on “sexy clown.”
Normalize male fashion that isn’t boring
that’s just a royaltyslop version of the great male renunciation. we can go better once we get the guillotines
I’m not going to ignore fancy royal shit. I want to embrace it. I want to normalize fancy shit as a way for people to build a unique and definable personal fashion statement. The rich like it because it’s inaccessible to the hoi poloi and the poors.
I want to infringe on their culture. Appropriate it for us normal people. Make the fashion of the rich pivot to something minimal and encourage them to really pull back because there is nothing they can do except spend more to get less. I want to rob the rich of all their comforts starting with how they see themselves.
claps you make me wish i could really sew.
Youtube videos to learn and estate and garage sales for the sewing machine. So many Nana’s have a family that doesn’t know how to use her well loved hobby machine.
do it, feel free to ad more colours and flare.
Still better than a suit and tie. Also the guillotines got us into this situation in the first place. (Not that I want the kings back, just some of their fashion)
didn’t the Great male renunciation started by British royalty? seems like guillotines could have saved us.
Beau fucking Brummel.
I thought that it was after the French decided that their kings were to pompous and started wearing military outfits (after the king mysteriously disappeared). I could be wrong tho, the British royals could use some less gold.
thought it started with Victorian England. I’m too tired to double check or get in a rabbit hole right now. either way the guillotine is worth a try
Men, get yourself a male corset. You can thank me later.
It’s going to either be useless or uncomfortable. That’s a no for me dawg
They’re quite comfortable. Can be too warm in the summer.
I mean either it is shaping you and that’s gonna be uncomfortable or they’re not in which case… what’s the point
It tends to force good posture.
Just try one. There’s some fairly affordable ones on Aliexpress.
I’m good
For anyone with mild dyslexia: corset and escort are not the same
True, but you’re allowed to have both.

“Do you take your spouse until the end of time? As your final relationship? Your final fantasy?”
This is also my dream.
Wanna just do it?
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.
Is this image playing at about 396fps, or is my lemmy browsing app not able to handle this image right?
Oh man, did you know that the capes thing was actually in-world propaganda/disinformation in the movies? Syndrome killed all the people listed as having cape accidents, so it was like a go-to coverup that they died in cape related ways, like the people making the cover stories didn’t have the creativity to come up with anything else. And it just ended up making capes seem like a bad idea.
Wait, does the movie actually show that? Are any of the same heroes cited by Edna as cape accidents also shown in Syndrome’s database as being killed by him instead?
Yeah, it doesn’t point it out, but if you check the names, they are all there.
This got me curious enough to go re-watch the scenes involved. The five supers Edna names are not shown in Syndrome’s records (at least not the ones Bob looks up).
Ah, nevermind then. I was taking it on word from someone else. Guess I shouldn’t do that, even for something that would be weird to make up.
Always remember that people can just go on the internet and say shit.
Everyone around me has agreed that I NEED that outfit with the heraldry of my Houses on each shoulder and the pendant. I’m just not sure which House to give the pendant.
I could absolutely bullshit my way into a modern House with that outfit.
For anyone wondering, House Rice, House Wellington, and House Tudor. All broken from the main house in 1660 to 1670.
Okay which manhua is this outfit from?
You can’t see it but it’s probably got little belts just above the biceps.
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.
DANDY TIME
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 do larp, so I wear an above average number of capes and cloaks. It’s super inconvenient, but at historically capes would end up at the lowest around your calves, because yeah this gets dirty.
And historically, that meant you’d drag it through literal shit that was in every street, not just road-dirt. It would get destroyed pretty quickly too. Also, as a dutch person, capes have the problem of not letting your a bike, which is a terrible thing of course.
I wore a cape to university one day as a bit. A guy in a passing car threw a drink at me in protest.
I’m not saying he was wrong, but I am sorry it happened. If it helps, someone once threw a kebab at me in a passing car. It was mixed grill.
Damn, that’s expensive
I know!
Bon appetite!
That sucks. People suck. How’s men’s fashion ever going to improve if people are so shit about anything outside the norm?
Isn’t it the thing about fashion that it never improves, just endlessly changes? So men’s fashion, not changing, has simply left the wheel of samsara.
I feel at one with my dad jeans with holes in them, and t-shirt with a jumper that should have probably been washed a few days ago
