Western men’s dress today is sensible, practical, understated, uniform.
In a word: boring.
But that wasn’t always the case.
The costume of the modern man is an odd and short-lived aberration preceded by centuries of fashion extravaganza.
Traditional masculinity — of the hardcore, army-slaying and empire-building kind modern conservatives fanboy over — was deliciously high-heeled and leggings-clad peacockery at its finest.
Don’t believe me?
Feast your eyes.
