this is actually mainly because of homophobia and racism in the 80s. men were scared of dressing ‘too flamboyantly’ and being perceived as gay (or as a “pimp”). so men largely began to relegate themselves to gradually shrinking categories of clothing -until we get where we are today! with boring, uninspired outfits. the most interesting thing a guy can wear is a flannel. and that’s boring as hell
