As we all know men’s fashion is kind of a wasteland, but even given that context - wearing a boring tie and boring socks with the same business outfit has to be one of the most gutless acts of cowardice imaginable. That’s treason against your own humanity and millions of people commit it on a daily basis. Really just strangling themselves and everyone around them with neutral solid colors like a cloud of neurotoxin

Counterpoint: “streetwear”, the colorful, playful modern men’s fashion tradition just ends up recapitulating the absolute dumbest dynamics about women’s fashion: ultraexpensive, limited release minitrend-chasing novelty pieces, collections of shoes on display that are too valuable as fashion objects to wear
