In WoW I resuscitated four injured baby dragons, "gently lifting" the last who was too injured to fly and brought him to the nearby dying ancient dragon
I agreed to help and the dying ancient dragon said, "You are a kind, small thing (username)."
I'm wearing a blue suede belt with grey suede shoes at the moment and I feel like that works only because those are weird colors in the first place
I've alerted vivianne westwood to this punk couture
I just read something about Monse (Mon-SAY), "fashion's hottest new label" apparently, and I was like, maybe I should shop there
for women only

So this duet app for the iPad is kind of crazy:
I get to use my iPad Pro as a second monitor, at 1024x768 HiDPI, 60 frames per second over USB2 cables.
And there is only the slightest sense of delay when I have a bunch of stuff happening at once over there. It barely touches my CPU/GPU. I suspect if there was an official USB3 to Lightning cable this would be completely flawless.
Kind of takes the sting away from losing the 27" screen in the name of portability.
My sense of fashion is basically limited to knowing when it is inappropriate to wear a graphic T-shirt and even I know that belt and shoes matching is a good idea.

I am consistently impressed by the rhinoshit you concoct to sell people new stuff, America.
Belt and shoes matching is not an American fashion idea
90% of hits coming up arguing for this are American sites. Plus British fashion on belts never gave a shit until very recently; the only vaguely held rule was that you should try and match leather with leather.
So, er, yeah, it's 'murica at it again lol.

The reality is there is a comparatively very small range of mainstream acceptable clothing pieces and cuts for men.
Which is what we were talking about. Unless I totally misread Regina Fong
women certainly have more styles of acceptable clothing than men, but (as I understood it) the argument was about when these clothing norms are breached.

If you are wearing something dressy, the shoes and belt should match. If your outfit involves a tie, cufflinks, etc. it is more or less a must unless you are making a statement of some sort.
If your outfit is more casual, you can totally get away with shoes and belt that do not color match, so long as they coordinate well together. Don't wear a gloss-black dress belt with sneakers.

number of google hits with a cursory search is hardly compelling data, especially for a rule that was around for decades before the internet

Dresses on men are still considered generally shocking and socially unacceptable because femininity in general is still opposing manliness and men who express femininity are deviant
Women who wear masculine fashions get away with it partially because men's fashions are easily tailored to accentuate feminine / sexy qualities--baby doll tees, low cut jeans, etc. Conversely just because women can wear suits doesn't mean there aren't ways that women are discouraged from showing excessive masculinity--ex suits that erase the curve of the female body or those exaggerate boxy shoulder pads from the 80s, coincidentally coded masculine at the exact time of the the anti-feminist backlash and rise of the "career driven" woman breaking into male spheres
I don't think the here's any question that women face far more daily and routine scrutiny for the care we put into our appearance and frankly the politics of what a certain decision to wear one thing one way or go without something (like makeup! Or a bra!) could mean. There's also a lot more shaming/anxiety/self consciousness taught to women at a very young age about what innovation of fashion a woman can or can't pull off, including men's clothing, with the primary metric to evaluate the success of that fashion being that she still appear attractive to men despite straying from traditional feminine clothing.
Whereas the question of how attractive a man is to women isn't top of mind when we evaluate a mans clothing choices (plus we haven't exactly created an easy to check list for men the way we have for women that can be drilled down to the most insignificant of body parts, like our nails); primarily it's, does this assemblage of fabric express confidence/business prowess/tech genius/dedication to the dark God Aztoth first, THEN is it also hot for the ladies??

Did a check on a german site and they say it is essential the belt and shoes match.

women certainly have more styles of acceptable clothing than men, but (as I understood it) the argument was about when these clothing norms are breached.
The only (?) way to break gendered clothing norms for women is wearing a tie (also wearing men's dress shoes in certain contexts). In which case, it seems like people will generally treat you as they would treat a lesbian, so, either completely normally or with whatever their internal biases dictate.
Women can of course break clothing norms in a million other ways, for example not wearing a bra or wearing something that is slightly too revealing or not revealing enough or whatever.
It is almost certainly scarier to present any sort of femininity as a man than it is to present masculinity as a female, presumably because the latter is a show of strength to some degree, and the former could be read as a show of vulnerability/weakness (even though it's actually crazy brave).
What's with crop tops though? I don't understand the silhouette you're supposed to have with them. Slightly bare midriff+slightly high-wasted short shorts? The proportions look weird to me.

nah the cufflinks don't need to match the tie, I was simply saying that if you are wearing clothes on that level, your leather should deffo match.
cufflinks and ties are, like, the only two places men can have fun with their outfits any more.
I guess socks too
Whimsy socks are big
yeah I forgot about using socks to add flair - I personally don't go that route - My sock drawer is filled with black, grey, brown, and blue solid socks for the most part, with like two pairs of Argyle black and blue just in case.

Let's not forget that men also wore crop tops in the 90's.
It was not a good look.

At least in the area of business dress, it's most definitely a thing.

have you seen what people look like when their belt doesn't match their shoes?

Whimsy socks are big
And they will move their stuff between wallets on a daily basis to make sure every part of the outfit is considered.
Also, the leather or metal of their watch band has to coincide with the outfit also, so multiple watches.
Fk that.
