This is definitely the sort of dress you could get away with wearing to a “formal” event or something. It might be a bit too brightly colored for some stuff, but it’s definitely what I’d call “approaching dress cloths territory”.

And it’s soft and comfortable! The fabric flows and stretches, it accommodates whoever wears it. I can also bend and move in it! I could probably get quite active in this thing if I didn’t care about messing it up.

The airflow is a nice touch, although that might be the bra and socks doing that as I’ve noticed more airflow with my regular shirts while having them on.

SO THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE MALE DRESS CLOTHS SO DAMN UNCOMFORTABLE!?

All of the male dress cloths I’ve worn so far are so rigid and unforgiving. They don’t stretch and accommodate! They don’t flow! I suppose it’s a metaphor for masculinity under capitalism lol.

Yeah male dress cloths are either “uncomfortable” or “OH MY GOD I WANT TO SEVER MY SPINE SO I CAN’T FEEL THIS INSULT TO MY SENSES”.

      Oh dear, you’re speed running it.

      You know I thought I just did existential crisis’ fast, but I’ve realized I do a long “build up” but then when the climax comes I kinda just… Don’t fight against it? I don’t know how else to put it really.

      Also having listened to the experiences of trans people over the years really helps.

      Wait, did you change pronouns?

      On here and various other online platforms: Yes; IRL: Going to;

    Comfortable men’s clothing is really gatekept by class. Even just the standard “guy” outfits: blue jeans and a polo, suits, etc. Are comfortable, soft, and quite nice if you can afford it. So why do rich men insist on wearing the ugliest, most poorly fitted clothes ever made? Hell if I know.

    Women’s clothing often have stretch and are made by thinner fabric which makes them comfortable to wear but also makes them wear down faster. I like men’s clothing that are extremely durable and made to be broken into, because once you’ve made the garment to shape your body it is comfortable to wear and I can keep my closet minimalist by having just 1 or 2 garments for every type. For women there’s an expectation to have variety in their clothing which is why it’s difficult to find durable women’s clothing but it does exist.
