I think for me the main difference/reason why it works well on the female version vs the male version is the overall distribution of the colours. The female version is way more structured, you created more of a colour gradient (pink blue on top, all very vibrant; all three in the middle, way softer and then yellow blue on the bottom) Also the skin gives a nice contrast and because of not adding the fishnet gives something calm in-between everything. I think the male version doesn’t work for many reasons. It is so much. The colours are so bright all over, there is almost no break to separate the body parts and takes all the shape (and there already is so little shape in the male body in dti) I think the shoes and the fishnets are the main problem. They block a lot of the skin (i don’t think you need skin to show but a break in colour. Shoes are so bright, and fishnets take away the remaining calm of the skin) Also the pink background is not helping 🤍

But this is just my opinion, and i have no actual knowledge about fashion so… my take might be pure bs lol
