Why is it cute and trendy for girls to wear men’s flannel shirts and baggy boy’s sweatpants, but when a boy tries to wear anything remotely close to girl’s clothes, they are considered “girly” or “gay”?
Do you know why?
Do you want to know why?
Because our society thinks its degrading to be feminine.
GIVE THIS THING AS MANY NOTES AS POSSIBLE. EVERYBODY MUST SEE THIS AND HAVE IT ON THEIR BLOG. HOLY SHIT.
No its because most boys look ridiculous in girls clothes, but girls look decent in “boyfriend” clothes. Stop trying to make EVERY THING into some form of female oppression.
It’s not “boyfriend” clothes. Clothes do not inherently have gender, they are pieces of fabric and no one cares about your hetero insertions. There was a time when it was normal for young men to wear dresses, clothing was much more gender neutral.
Cute little boys in their boy dresses!
And dresses and skirts look fine on men:
In different cultures around the world different items of clothing are worn that in many countries would be seen as feminine:
And they all look fabulous as fuck, like wow!
The only reason you think so now is because you are socialised differently. Which is ok, that happens, but when you assert things as facts and don’t look at any of the culture behind them you looking like an anal fissure.
Do not project your issues onto other men, men can wear whatever the fuck they want and look fabulous as hell.
YES YES YES!
Those last three images of dudes in, “feminine” clothes the black and middle eastern dudes all look baller as fuck.
The increased visibility of the gender nonconforming and transgender
communities has lit a spark beneath the conversation around gender
performance, and how fashion relates to it. The past year has seen a
rise in gender-neutral clothing and store layouts that cater toward the
need. Solestruck, the online purveyor of sky-high heels and platforms,
is now among the Selfridges of the world.
This week, Solestruck launched SYRO,
its first-ever men’s collection of heels and platforms. It’s a move
that challenges the gender binary and questions what it means to design
“men’s style” and “women’s style” footwear. In an email newsletter
announcing the new line, Solestruck wrote, “Since 2006, Solestruck has
dedicated itself to curating unique footwear from all parts of the
world. It’s been our joy to serve millions of shoe-lovers from all walks
of life, but there is one client we’ve always wished to do more for.”
It explained that the brand listened to the comments and emails asking
for platforms and heels in larger sizes. “We’ve ached over the
difficulties of persuading our brands to make heels in larger sizes,” it
said. “And now, finally, we’re doing it ourselves.” Thus, SYRO was born.
