This actually happened?! The Great Male Renunciation. At the end of the 18th century, Western men decided they’d no longer wear bright colors and fancy shapes. That would be women’s clothes. Men would wear bland dark boring fabrics. THIS IS WHY I CANT DRESS LIKE THE PROUD PEACOCK I AM??

@drmaddkap Has the person who wrote the video seen fashion magazines in the 70s? Or fashion of non-hetero/non-white men?

Wild colors, patterns and shapes for men have been around. But what's considered aspirational has shifted.
