In a general manner, medieval dresses for men are looking masculine to me, but that's the only general example I can give you right now (there are probably some others).
To be honest, I think the masculine dresses need to be (re)invented. Most dresses are made to accentuate the female figure, which we don't have. Invariably they're too tight round the shoulders. Recently I've been looking into how fashion design works and it's fascinating. But also non-trivial. It must be possible to make a dress that looks masculine, while also being casual. What makes something look masculine anyway? Isn't that just a matter of what you're used to?

The fun is actually that I hardly find any guy masculine in dress, but that can happens more regurlarly with skirt
Skirts are much more forgiving that way. You can pair if with something else and so have many more possibilities.
I'm with Rode and Spirou on this one.
I have a few dresses that I was lucky enough to find That fit decently in the shoulders, a little baggy in the middle, men have to buy a dress that fits in the shoulders rather than by waist size.
Just like the male marketed skirt the male marketed dress is a long, long way off. Probably much further than the skirt.
I largely gave up looking at / for dresses, always finding a problem due to fitment problems. Plunging necklines, or issues with the sleeves. I get cold easy so I don't care for sleeveless dress or Large neck lines.
I just wear skirts with my men's shirts.
For best and most comfortable fits.
And easy to change entire look with different shirt and same skirt.
I did find a Hanes tee shirt dress. That I wear as a night shirt. It basically is just a very long plain t shirt.

Not something I would wear out and about. Comes in one size, fits like a snug xl t shirt so if you're big it won't fit you. I'm 186 lbs 5 foot 6 inches. fits me now ok. When I weighed 200 it was too snug.
