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!
Agreed, 100%. I grew up in a hot area and worked in offices where long pants were the standard. I was always jealous that ladies could get all that ventilation and I was stuck with boiler pipes on my legs.

Got it. Utilikilts for all!
This. Not Scottish, but I wear a kilt whole summer everywhere. Fortunately our company does not have a dress code at the office.
A friend has a degree in fashion design and her senior project was a clothing line that you ordered by measurement instead of men’s/women’s sizing so it was supposed to fit a person not a gender.
So cool!
Only if we can get rid of bras. Thats the trade!
Can we keep sportsbras at least? I don’t want to end up with a back injury…
I guess the closest we got are priestly robes and kilts then.
I’m all in favor of this. Now we just have to get everyone else on board. And like others have said, find dresses that actually look good on men. I (m) have been trying out dresses for a while and finding something that looks good on me is a challenge.
Some workmates and I petitioned our boss for the return of 70’s office shorts over the course of one hot summer, to no avail.Oh look, I know what hell will be like now.
There were so many adventurous men’s fashions in the 70s - I like watching old shows like Columbo partly because of that. It feels like we lost a lot going into the 80s and beyond in that respect - I’m glad to see men trying more diverse clothing now.
But they’re so classy and adorable! Your boss is a monster.
70s? Those are just summer work clothes in Australia.
Oh man I wish, I was stuck in shoe length cotton blend for three years of my life and I dreaded February coming around
Those are some ridiculously short shorts, especially on the left. How is he not hanging out the bottom?
Don’t get me started on shorts. Modern shorts which go down to the knee - what’s the point?!
Those only work if you also have the 1970s sexual-predator combover and/or pornstache as well as a The Mask necktie.
I can barely contain myself
That what happens when the shorts are too short
I am fine but thank you for your concern.
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.
Proud of him!
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.
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.
One of my airbnb guests wears a kilt all summer. He says he is surprised more people don’t because it is a lot cooler.
kil
I know a couple people who wear kilts (I think one introduced it to the other).
I know from wearing towels and robes that I would enjoy a kilt. Pants are great but they are less comfortable in the heat of the summer.
I don’t really care for shorts since then I have to worry about matching socks.
Why would matching socks be an issue with shorts but not kilts? Also, have you considered wearing sandals or just buy a dozen of identical pairs of socks?
Lol because my dumbass didn’t add up that a kilt also exposes my mismatched socks.
Problem is I have a wool sock interest, so they’re so expensive. My next batch of socks will be fruit of the loom 12pack though. I actually dumped all my socks out yesterday to take inventory.
I wear sandles but I find that I need to clean them all the time so they don’t smell like feet.
You can feel sorry but i love my pants
Dresses for some, miniature american flags for others!
Gotta learn respect personel choices and the fact that everyone is different
A few years ago, back in the Netherlands, the male bus drivers of a certain public transportation company were forced to wear long pants by their ‘managers’. Their female colleagues had a more comfortable uniform with a skirt. As a protest, a number of male bus drivers started borrowing the uniforms of their femaile colleagues. HR gave in. Good.
Nah no pity here, we got pockets best thing in the world you should probably feel more envious really
I knew a woman who often wore dresses with pockets.
I’m gonna design a dress made of nothing but pockets out of pure spite.
While your at it, can you also design some business cargo shorts?
LMFAO that is actually incredible!
Business in the front, cargo in the back?
Lol sounds like you’re describing a well dressed person with a phat ass
slaps pockets you can fit so much junk in this trunk!
Hell yeah, finally someone fixing the real problems of the world
Look up the Patti Pocket Skirt. You’re welcome.
Jokes on you, my dresses all have pockets
All my dresses have far better pockets than most pants, too.
