I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

It already exists and is called a sarong. That is a traditional Sri Lankan dress for males that slowly went away after western colonization. Bonus fun fact: Arthur C. Clarke used to rock this style.
India wears it all; be it dhoti, lungi, or the mundu. And we wear both the lungi (aka sarong) and the mundu (the unstitched sarong) at half-mast with full pride, never mind our thunder thighs and skinny legs.
Now if only someone could take away the rice belly and the mosquitoes, both women and men would be happier.
Proud of him!
We know it by a different name, but it’s still going strong in India.
That’s a vetti, yes? There’s a tiny difference in that a vetti is an open cloth whereas a sarong’s ends are sewed together. So a sarong is a closed loop.
I’m pretty sure the idea of just making a tube and wearing that must be pretty universal.
It’s really versatile, after all.
Unfortunately for people who want to (or must) present European male our version is the peplos, which is thought of as strictly female.
And nothing’s sarong with that.
