  1. I wouldn't mind wearing a 3 piece suit every day. I even have quite a few, but sadly the beer bug has caused me to no longer fit into most of them. I saw a video recently of Podcast of the Lotus Eaters where Carl was talking to a guest dressed in a 3 piece suit and he said why not dress your best whenever you can? Why look like a slob when you can look like a gentleman? It used to not just be normal, it was almost mandatory and even factory workers owned at least 1 suit. Will it make you look old fashioned? Probably. But it will also give you a leg up over all the casual dressed dudes in jeans and t-shirts. It might do wonders to your career. And maybe, just maybe it would motivate women to look more feminine again too?
  2. As part of my job I must scan a lot of old photos. There is a crucial difference to back then and today. Femininity is under attack and the ruling feminist establishment HATES all things feminine. So women are pushed to adopt male garb instead. Stilettos were seen and still are as the height of femininity. As such it is frowned upon. When stilettos emerged you would not see a woman in baggy jeans and flats. Feminine garb was the norm since like forever even before the stiletto. That norm is gone. Also, I recently saw an episode of podcast of the Lotus Eaters, and Carl was interviewing Calvin Robinson. Calvin was dressed in suit and tie, Carl in comfy loungewear. People have stopped presenting themselves at their best in favor of comfort. To some people presenting themselves at their best means wearing an expensive track suit and designer sneakers. Women are giving up femininity and adopting genderconfusion and comfort is the way of the land. Might things change if some K-pop band were to wear heels? Well, maybe temporary. Just like the odd Western hit in cinema was prophecized as a return of the Western. It did not. A brief fad does not equal a trend. Nor can it undo generations of women accustomed to wearing sneakers and those accursed army boots. They might wear them for the odd occasion, or because of some fad, but because they are not used to them, and the absence of a culture imperative to present themselves as feminine it will be young women tottering around uncomfortably. And it will be the equivalent of going to the restaurant and only putting the heels on to get from the car to the dinner table. Fads do not equal trends, and the trend has been against heels for a long time, even during the designer heel craze.
  3. I don't know where you live, in my neck of the woods, a Dutch university city so TONS of young women, NOTHING! 2" chunky at the most. These are the women who will never pick up heels as they never learned to walk in them. And when I do see a woman in heels she is almost always way over 40.
  4. Corsets were around as a staple of women's clothing for centuries. They even outlasted powdered wigs by centuries. Completely gone now. What makes you think that heels will fare any better? They're going the way of the dodo because something else has cropped up which completely upended the cycles of fashion. Modern day feminism. It HATES ANYTHING feminine. We have reached the weird zeitgeist where women don't want to wear heels because they are feminine, and feminism teaches them that anything feminine is bad. But guys wearing heels, as in the gender destruction ideology, that fits right in there. And again, all those women who never learned to walk in heels in their formative years aren't going to magically pick up that skill. Even the whole designer heel craze of the last years was just a craze of the upper and upper middle class women, not of women in general. In general it has been sneakers and those accursed army boots. Hell, even in p0rn I see more and more women wearing sneakers. Heels are going the way of the Western. That genre which once dominated Hollywood movies for decades since its beginning. And then one day it was over. And occasionally we still get a western, maybe two, and the trades call it return to the genre. And then it dies out again. So it will be with heels. The vast majority of women will stop wearing them or think themselves adventurous wearing 2" chunky heels. Some will still wear 4" or higher, but they will be mostly in certain professional spheres, like entertainment or law. Without young people taking up heel wearing there is no cyclical return. And I don't count 2" chunky heels or flatforms as heels.
  5. Even in the 70's women still wore heels. Just chunky platform ones. Now they have all but disappeared. I don't buy into the cyclical thing. We have generations of women now who never wore heels and they are NEVER going to wear heels. If you are not used to wearing them they will hurt you every time you them and as a result you will want to wear them even less. It is over. On the rare occasion I see a woman in heels it's almost 99% of the time a woman in her 40's or older. And lets be realistic about it, women wearing heels is a fairly recent thing. Before WW2 it was rare to see a woman in heels, it only gained mass support in the 50's and 60's, with increased wealth and prosperity for the lower and middle classes on the one hand, and the advent of the stiletto heel on the other. Overall, it was only a few generations of women that wore heels and I reckon they will be relegated to the same niche fetish community as was the corset. And the corset was around for a much longer time. I hear no one speaking of some cycle whereby corsets will make a comeback. High heels everywhere was a phase, it happened, and now we are in the dying days of that phase.
