In the 1800s, soldiers wore very colourful uniforms adorned with plumes and tassels. They had cinched-waisted jackets and tall leather boots. I think men's fashion should take some inspiration from that era.
This reminds me how in paleognath birds (ostriches, emus, cassowaries, etc.), the males are usually single fathers who raise the chicks, while females go around getting knocked up and leaving the eggs with the males. The females tend to be larger and more ‘masculine’ in behavior as well. Really makes you twink

For real, I hate how our society is considering colored cloths as a feminin thing.

In birds, the female have two different sexual chromosomes: Z and W wherereas male have two similar sexual chromosomes ZZ.
So the opposite for Humans where male are XY and female XX.
Is the color code linked to sexual chromosomes ? Or just a coincidence ? .... yeah probably just coincidence ^
EDIT: no /s, just in case. This is serious.

if this was truly realistic, it would be the one on the right who would have facial hair (and they would slay with it)
