I think fashion is very subjective. I have, personally, no interest in articles about Chinos that tell me to wear sports jackets or guides on how to fold pocket squares or aditorials from expensive designers making ridiculous looking scarves. The posts tend to skew a little formal and a little, well, straight.
But I recognize that tastes differ and some people might want to talk about those things. I like there's a men's fashion forum. I just don't see a lot of posts that I personally find appealing and I don't really know where to look for them to share some of my own.
Yeah, I pretty much never wear formal or business casual, so most of the posts here aren't relevant to me.
I feel like lemmy has a disproportionately high population of wfh tech ppl who don't go to office and thus don't need business casual/formal wear.
Also, I'm in Texas where it's a 100f (~40c) and humid most of the year. There's no way I'm wearing more than one layer like most MFA posts recommend except for a few months in winter. Even a lot of summer fashion posts assume a Seattle summer or something and recommend multiple layers.
It's interesting because the last article I posted suggested people to move from chinos to pants they would be more comfortable wearing.
It's probably an issue with this kind of community, that is really members-input fueled. I could ask a few questions about general fashion topics, but most of the content is usually members asking people for feedback, and you can't replicate that alone
