I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

We know it by a different name, but it's still going strong in India.

That's a vetti, yes? There's a tiny difference in that a vetti is an open cloth whereas a sarong's ends are sewed together. So a sarong is a closed loop.

I'm pretty sure the idea of just making a tube and wearing that must be pretty universal.

It's really versatile, after all.

Unfortunately for people who want to (or must) present European male our version is the peplos, which is thought of as strictly female.

And nothing's sarong with that.
