L-suits and their history
That pesky gender problem
So, it’s no secret that a large chunk of our population are men dressed as women. This is something that originates in the problem of a big difference in the amount of men and women in our world. This role of a genderless woman is seen as more of a necessity in our world, something not everyone choose freely, but something many young man do to serve a greater purpose, or somehting some are even forced into. Regardless, majority of these genderless women seem to have quite some fun with dressing up in women’s clothing and being able to switch between genders is they just so happen to want to.
Women wearing men's clothes
With all this, it was only a matter of time before women would start feeling left out. Sure, there was no need for women to dress up as men, there’s already more than enough men in our world, but they might still want to have fun with trying out men’s clothes or switching their gender sometimes. This sentiment grew particularly among lesbians, who also wanted to distinguish themselves from other women, making it subtly clear that they are unavailable to men and only interested in other women. Strict lesbians in particular - the true women only interested in other true women are in an especially bad place in our world, dating-wise. It’s already hard enough to find a true woman, let alone one who is also interested in dating other true women. This was only more reason for them to want to come up with a way to set themselves apart from other women.
Suits go full circle
Surely enough, they came up with a simple and elegant solution. Same as men would dress up in womens clothing, they started wearing men’s suits. For decades, a woman wearing a suit was a sign that the woman wearing it is interested only in dating other women. The trend kept spreading among women, and it wasn’t long before wearing men’s suits became popular among all women, regardless of their sexual orientation. But as this trend spread among women, the traditionally plain dark colored men’s suits started evolving into more colorful and patterned suits. Seeing this, men didn’t want to be left out either. Now they too started wearing more colorful and patterned suits.
L-Suits, at last
As the evolution of suits came full circle, it was time for lesbians to make a move once more. With everyone wearing similar suits, they needed a new way to set themselves apart from the others and so they started wearing more feminine designs once more. But as everyone now just wore what they wanted this wasn’t quite enough. It wasn’t until 29.7.2006 when everything changed. A fashion designer Rita, a lesbian herself, came up with a new unique design called “L-suit”. the “L” of course, signifying that this was a suit that was to be worn specially by lesbians. These suits were made of light linen fabric, with long or cropped pants. The one buttoned jacket revealed a shirt under it, one that had a specific “v” shaped detail in the front. These suits came in many different colors, with the suit and the shirt under it usually being in clashing colors. These suits quickly became popular and are today still considered almost a “uniform” for lesbians.
Thanks to these suits, there is now a running joke among people that any woman wearing anything made of this light linen fabric is probably a lesbian. Linen is quite a popular fabric choice among people though, but then again most people aren’t very strictly picky about genders. Still check a woman’s closet for an L-suit before asking her out. Or a men’s suit, but watch out, women who wear men’s suits are probably closeted bi and might not be as open to idea of dating another woman at first. Not talking about Nina specifically.
But this is a whole other can of worms we won’t get into here.
