lots of guys in this thread debating whether this person looks better on the left or right, or why/how women wear make-up, but a lot of people who are into clothes and make-up are not doing so to attract a mate. ur not the audience. they do it for themselves and their peers

i find that a lot of ppl who don't have a strong interest in clothing or style can't wrap their head around the idea that some people are into such things outside of utilitarian purposes: finding love, getting a better job, getting better service, etc.

lots of guys who are into clothes as a hobby do all sorts of crazy things: wear weird clothes from rare Japanese brands, wear jeans for 6 months without washing, go to great lengths to get a detail right. no one is doing this so they can have sex. they do it to impress peers.

getting pushback on this and just want to share two things that serious menswear guys are into

1. kapital ring coat. IMO, one of the best coats
2. not washing ur jeans for as long as possible

you think guys are doing this stuff to impress women?

to be fair, that's not how the coat is supposed to be worn. the person in that photo is doing it for comedic effect. it's supposed to be worn like this. still, the style is eclectic and obvs only for the pleasure of the wearer and/or impressing ppl who are "in the know"
