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 I don't know. These are noble. Their fashion have been banished because they oppressed people.

also, I'm pretty sure japanese men did wear kimono until like 1945. Most fashion option have been crushed by imperialism. Peacock noble is like the one exception.
