I wish it was socially acceptable for men to wear the colorful stuff women do on formal occasions. It's almost always black, white, grey or maybe dark blue.

I want things like paisley suits to be considered normal. Why not? It's just a pattern.

I'm not saying it because I want to do it, I'm saying it because I want to see it. Make congress a sea of color rather than a bit here and a bit there.

I feel like you can, however it seems men take themselves too serious when dressing well. If you take yourself too serious as a man, wearing for example a pink suit will make you insecure.

So dark, solemn colors are easier to accept.

I wear suits for work and have them dark, but my social suits are light and colorful ( light blue, purple) and regardless I'll wear fun and colorful shirts with them.

I don't know that you can in business or political situations. I think if a man showed up to a business meeting or a legislative session wearing a paisley suit, they would get screamed at about not having proper decorum.

See: John Fetterman

I think he catches a lot of flack for his attire

He had to give up and wear a suit because they passed a resolution forcing it.
