A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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!

I'm good with joggers.

Sometimes I feel like going full on kilt, but those things are quite thick, all things considered. Might help to aerate the crown jewels, but I'm not too sure if the overall experience wouldn't still be on the warm side.

I have dresses and skirts but rarely wear them because they don't feel comfy for me at all. I have to pay extra attention to how I sit and walk and that adds extra stress to my day for me. I do like to wear something loose when I'm home, though, and wish I could wear that outside more often because it's much more comfy than tight, neat clothes.

I'd need some kind of a tool belt under that dress to haul all my stuff

Don't feel too bad. Whatever the occasion it is acceptable to wear trousers. We can wear the same thing 50 times to 50 events and society won't care

Proper fitting ones are also very comfortable. While the range of men's clothing at supermarkets and bigger clothes stores is generally a lot less than women's clothes, specialised men's clothes shops and tailoring is much more common for men than women.

It just takes men a much longer time tomdoscover clothes that fit. Late 20's when I discovered it, and early 30's I have found what fits, and dye it to suit what colour I want!

I just started a new job last month and I can wear shorts for the first time in over fifteen years at work. It's a game changer.

My shitty lifehack is tan colored gym shorts that look like khaki shorts. I can wear them with a polo and they're comfy as hell
