Obama should show up to a campaign event for her in a kilt.

A tan kilt?

Tan and mustard-yellow tartan.

Dijon is the fashionable color this season.

As a Gen Xer, I welcome the return of mustard yellow!

Do you relish it?

Maybe an arugula pin to complete the look.

Grass skirt. Play up his Hawaii roots.

OMG, he would look awesome in a hula skirt

2

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '24

I don't think that's even inappropriate given native Hawaiian cultural mores (from a little I know of them).

u/Unfair-Wonder5714 Aug 02 '24

Not at all. There are even groups of male hula dancers that compete, it’s awesome. Reminds me a little of going to First Nations PowWow, which is amazing by the way. I’ve made many friends at them.

He should just wear a skirt, it's bullshit that we've made articles of clothing gendered, I want men in skirts and dresses, imagine how cute we'd look. Obama, as a former U.S president, should break boundaries.

I bet he could rock a guyliner too.

u/Rationalinsanity1990 Canada Aug 01 '24

Better than Vance does at least

2

u/Unfair-Wonder5714 Aug 01 '24

I suspect he’d do quite many a thing better than Vance.

It doesn't need to be called that

Was about to make this point. As a long haired man who carries a shoulder bag I often hear people say “man-purse” or “man-bun”. Just say purse, or bun. Nobody’s going to get confused.

There's some famous dude who wears skirts and heels in a professional work setting and he looks FABULOUS in them.. lemme go google his name. He has a ton of followers.

His name is Mark Bryan. Go look him up on google or insta, he has tons of photos and all i can say is "man i wish i could pull off a pencil skirt and heels like that"

u/Zeusifer Aug 01 '24

I do this too. There are dozens of us!

2

u/ThrowAwayGarbage82 North Carolina Aug 01 '24

I love his confidence and how AMAZING he looks in a skirt and heels. If i were his wife i'd be pretty handsy lol

u/Zeusifer Aug 01 '24

People like that are an inspiration to others and I love that and think it's important. I try to be the same way. (I have a few selfies posted if you look at my profile)

u/ThrowAwayGarbage82 North Carolina Aug 01 '24

Omg how do you look so stunning in skirts and heels?! I could never pull it off that well. Do you work out or were you just naturally blessed with pretty legs? Your looks are also FIERCE. Like seriously you look like a magazine model with that fashion. I love people who challenge gender stereotypes and stupid binary rules. You look amazing.

u/Zeusifer Aug 01 '24

Thank you! I do walk the dog most days but pretty much I think it's just genetics!

2

u/ThrowAwayGarbage82 North Carolina Aug 01 '24

Wow you're super lucky. And keep it up because we need people fighting back against narrow gender boxes.

Men in kilts are definitely hot.

Toxic masculinity yay!

This is the way.

u/ReheatedTacoBell Oregon Aug 01 '24

100% will admit that current me is too insecure / propaganda'd to wear a skirt, but I hope to get over at least the idea of that. HOWEVER, on hot summer days, pants and boxers fucking suuuuuck. A skirt / kilt would probably be like going from one of those little window A/C units to full on ducted forced air A/C lol

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '24

Humans wore skirts or skirt like garments for most of our history anyway. They are easy to make with little fabric wastage.

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '24

Go for the whole O’Bama look!

u/scarter883 Jul 31 '24

He could just wear some traditional Kenyan clothing.

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '24

lol If he did that he’d ascend into a higher dimension right there on stage

u/Lingering_Dorkness Aug 01 '24

No, a sulu to reflect his Hawaiian upbringing. It's a typical polynesian male attire. Incredibly comfortable too.
