Reminds me of the clothes in otome isekais
True only thing I could pull off with that outfit is the hairstyle.
The Legend of the Galactic Heroes collection. For when you absolutely have to upstage the bride.
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.
Looks cool, but I've got my heart set on "sexy clown."
This reminds me of this Georgian wedding attire:
I would like both these outfits please.
I too need a vest of throwing knives.
Every girl's crazy about a sharp dressed man.
hahahaha nice
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 love that Americans think Caucasians means white people. Actually, scratch that, I hate it because it’s based on 19th Century pseudo-scientific nonsense that literally claims that “mongoloid” is a sub-race of humanity.
It's not our fault, all our standardized tests growing up had us pick that bubble if we were white and it never came up anywhere else.
That's one of the reasons but there's also the fact that we had no fucking clue where white people were from and most of the oldest artifacts from before the Iron Curtain were found in the Caucasian mountains. Given that the Hittites were the oldest known and best researched Indo-European group and their proximity to the Caucasian mountains you end up with a bit of a weird bias.
While a lot of this shit has origins in 1800s racism the ones that stuck around did so because of long term misunderstandings. There was also a short lived hypothesis that different "races" evolved from different species of ape, though that one didn't survive particularly long.
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.
Square Enix has entered the Fashion Industry.
Invest in belt stocks, hurry!

We’re still slowly working our way out of a doldrums era where male clothing has to be undecorative and functional. C’mon lads, we can do this! Let’s peacock again.
DANDY TIME
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.

Btw, has this anime archetype a name? You know, with a weird hat and a saber or canons, usually a general or something, often a endboss, always dangerous.
Between what?
They give me vibes of Western European (French and Spanish) high-ranking Naval dress in the 1700-1800s, just embellished and almost caricatured.
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 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.
