This reminds me of this Georgian wedding attire:
I too need a vest of throwing knives.
Every girl’s crazy about a sharp dressed man.
The man’s coat is some variation of the traditional go-to celebratory attire of Georgia and other Caucasian cultures. Originally also used as a military garb, afaik, if not an everyday dress even. It’s called chokha or cherkeska.
I would like both these outfits please.
Client: Hey I’m a villain in an anime setting who is looking to intimidate an everyman protagonist.
Tailor: Will you be saying “Muhaha?”
Client: Oh most definitely.
Tailor: Better add the cape then.Anime villain look

“Do you take your spouse until the end of time? As your final relationship? Your final fantasy?”
Ahh to be overweight and the ability to make anything seemingly cool look like a holloween costume.
There are options, you just need a different cut.
This, OP’s image, wouldn’t work for me. Not saying there isn’t anything that might be as cool. Im thinking, full mech suit.
I think I saw something with an older Orson Welles in something kinda similar a step or two less dramatic. English noblemen wore something less embellished for a while. I think one of the Louie’s wore a cape with heels and mostly nailed it.
You’re just afraid to work and experiment with the realities of your body and what works on it visually.
The thing i like about this outfit is the dark esthetic with a sharp profile. Rounding it out wouldn’t be as cool imo and adding embellishments to mimic the sharp angles would make it over sized.
There’s options, man.
Yes, mech suit. Im ready.
This is pretty much the formal attire / fashion style from Code Geass, for the Brittanian royalty… but made for actual human beings with actual human being proportions/postures.
Somebody actually made a take on a formal empress dress for I guess CC?:
I sent this to my friend along with a message about how much I’d love to see men start wearing this sort of thing, and his response was nothing but “that would get so dirty”
😭 quit being practical! Get it professionally cleaned between use, like a tux! Rent it or smth! Wedding dresses drag on the floor too, but you, the man, are too good to get dirty???
Smdh.
I wore a cape to university one day as a bit. A guy in a passing car threw a drink at me in protest.
I’m not saying he was wrong, but I am sorry it happened. If it helps, someone once threw a kebab at me in a passing car. It was mixed grill.
Damn, that’s expensive
I know!
Bon appetite!
That sucks. People suck. How’s men’s fashion ever going to improve if people are so shit about anything outside the norm?
Isn’t it the thing about fashion that it never improves, just endlessly changes? So men’s fashion, not changing, has simply left the wheel of samsara.
I feel at one with my dad jeans with holes in them, and t-shirt with a jumper that should have probably been washed a few days ago
I do larp, so I wear an above average number of capes and cloaks. It’s super inconvenient, but at historically capes would end up at the lowest around your calves, because yeah this gets dirty.
And historically, that meant you’d drag it through literal shit that was in every street, not just road-dirt. It would get destroyed pretty quickly too. Also, as a dutch person, capes have the problem of not letting your a bike, which is a terrible thing of course.
I’m not going to lie. I love it.
ty for being honest.
I’d love to marry a dude rocking this. He better walk down the aisle too tho
Walk nothing. I’ll be on a palanquin carried by my groomsmen.
are they in formal attire or just a loincloth as is custom?
It’s a formal occasion so loincloths, French cuffs (not the shirt, just the cuffs), and bowties. And formal sandals.
That’s called Chippendales.
I never saw Chip, Dale, Monterey Jack, Gadget, or Zipper dressed like that.
Foreal dude, this is savage
Okay which manhua is this outfit from?
You can’t see it but it’s probably got little belts just above the biceps.
Gives real gonna get shot in Sarajewo vibes.
Bulletproof capes when?
The Legend of the Galactic Heroes collection. For when you absolutely have to upstage the bride.
On the one hand: It’s downright regal and impressive. Imposing, even.
On the other: I don’t own enough land, or run enough countries, to pull this look off.
For a fun photoshoot, sure, but we’d better have other costumed people and a movie set to contextualize it as something wholly fictional and otherworldly. Otherwise, as this thread illustrates, people are going to draw their own conclusions and they’re not all going to be nice.
Eh, I’d say it just takes the right event. Beers with the boys at the blue-collar bar? Probably a bad idea. Any event that says ‘semi-formal’ to ‘formal’? Fuck it, we ball.
Reminds me of the clothes in otome isekais
What is life and love if not a permadeath game of Fire Emblem with me as the caped protagonist and my wife, the canonical love interest.
Everyone around me has agreed that I NEED that outfit with the heraldry of my Houses on each shoulder and the pendant. I’m just not sure which House to give the pendant.
I could absolutely bullshit my way into a modern House with that outfit.
For anyone wondering, House Rice, House Wellington, and House Tudor. All broken from the main house in 1660 to 1670.
