Since it’s 17th of May, Norwegian National Day, I (again) heard some funny doofus saying that every positive comment you got wearing a men’s bunad was that out of pity, since men’s bunad’s are inherently silly and unattractive.
I think men’s bunad’s are one of the most awesome garments ever. They’re lavish and old fashioned, and friggin’ cool! I want one.
Adding my region’s men’s bunad because I happen to think it looks awesome!
I think people are just confused :)
Men’s bunad are waaaay cooler than modern Eurocentric formal wear for male presenting folks, and I think people who claim to find it silly and unattractive are just deflecting their own sense of inadequacy and shiny-button envy.
