What does the “Dear Boys, Dress Like This” meme mean?
This meme expresses humorous and sarcastic criticism of masculine dress codes. The irony lies in the contrast between the serious instruction and the mismatched, eccentric, or deliberately funny image. It allows users to poke fun at extravagant high fashion or poor taste without taking the situation seriously.
Where does the “Dear Boys, Dress Like This” meme come from?
The format originates from a tweet posted on Twitter on October 12, 2014, by user @briemckinnon. The original message showed a boy wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt, accompanied by the caption “dear boys, DRESS LIKE THIS”. This post quickly received over 8,900 retweets and 27,000 likes. Available sources do not identify any video, show, or person appearing in a video as the origin of the format: these elements are therefore unknown. The documented origin is an image post on Twitter, not an audiovisual excerpt. The principle consists of writing this phrase and attaching a photograph of a male outfit presented as a model to follow. The outfit is generally absurd, eccentric, or ridiculous; the wording is ironic and serves to mock masculine fashion, certain men indifferent to trends, or high fashion deemed extravagant.
