Lil’ cross-post from Lemmy.ca.

With women’s fashion, it’s an easy one with pockets and for some probably less sheer/thin or tight-fitting clothing depending on their preferences, but for men…?

What would you like to see done differently in men’s fashion?

    In the same vein as cloaks, bring back robes. Hell yes I want people to think I’m a wizard.

  • lol I was going to suggest getting rid of what the dude before me said everyone should wear. Most dudes just look the same in their drab, monochrome monkey suits. I don’t feel like men have fashion. Just utilitarian clothing that has no personality.

      But not even, modern suits have no utility and are downright inconvenient in warm climates. Suits can burn in hell.

    Make cargo shorts and t shirts illegal. Seriously, you look like a bum wearing that shit. Wear solid color Chinos and sweaters for cold weather, camp collars for warm weather. Stop dressing like mommy picked out your clothes.

      OK. Ouch. but noted, thank you. It’s too hot for chinos. Best I can do is cargo shorts and camp collars. Sandals alright?

        Which sandals, though? Actually, serious question: I have decade old Tevas that need to be replaced - this weekend, before I goto the shore. Are Tevas passé now? Do o need to get Birkenstocks?

          Try Suicoke auto-cab’s pretty stylish, they come in black, can be worn with sweats or jeans or anything really, and they’re pretty comfy for me. I’ve got some screws in my foot from a motorcycle accident so I’m bougie about my footwear and Suicoke gets my nod of approval. NIKE ACG sandals LOOK nice, but I’ve never worn or owned em, so I don’t know if they’re comfy or durable.

          Olu’kai also makes great house sandals, but they’re NOT stylish for going out, they are comfy though if that’s what you’re in for.

          I hate Birkinestocks because I used to be a chef, and that’s what chefs usually use. If I see birki’s when I’m out I just assume you’re a chef on his off day lol. Fucks with my head

          Tevas are still cool, especially if you find them comfy

          Footwear you should still prioritize comfort

      Might be a cultural thing, but after googling what a camp collar is, to me that screams “mum dresses me” far more than a plain black t-shirt

        Yeah everything he described sounds like something an LA fuckboy would wear especially the type who starts shitty fights and then call the cops when some redneck gives them a bloody nose.

    Suits that actually fit. Does nobody know anymore how a man in a suit is supposed to look? They all think they’re so fashionable, instead they look like they walked with a paper suit through a steam bath. Awful.

    More variety for formal wear. I hate that women get to express themselves more elaborately and I get to pick what color my tie is.

      You beat me to it! More colour, more designs, more accessories. I like wearing a suit, but women just have so many more fun designs.

      If you’re really lucky, they might throw in a vest…With a subtle design! But honestly, I can see where you’re coming from.

        Why is something expected in the first place?

        The whole assumption that a person is more professional because they chose the professional uniform is absolutely stupid. If Donald Trump, Hitler, MLK, Putin, and your friendly neighborhood lawyer wear the same outfit, then that outfit says nothing.

          Not really, it says those are people you should take seriously, which, depending on context, is true.

            No. It says these people know which symbols to attach to themselves to show that they want to be taken seriously and know which symbols to put on for that. Nothing more.

            The only thing you can read into a suit is a knowledge and acceptance of cultural norms. Which has absolutely nothing to do with seriousness.

              No? The person I replied to listed business people and lawyers, generally people who wear suits to conduct their business. If they’re wearing a suit, I don’t assume they’re performing surgery.

                No, that was never stated, you either replied to the wrong comment or made it up.

                Anyway, your argument is still pretty much bullshit, because you’re conflating a necessity and a cultural practice.

                A surgeon doesn’t wear scrubs or gloves because their super stylish, but because they don’t want to kill you. That’s what grown ups call a necessity.

                A lawyer’s uniform has no practical value. It’s simply a cultural practice. Business people don’t become bad at businessing just because they wear t-shirts, it’s just a cultural practice that they wear suits.

        Underrated? It’s my favorite part! An Indian friend of mine got married 10 years ago. I still have very fond memories of it! It was beautiful and so much fun!

    Money belts are coming back, but not the old style. We’re wearing it across the chest, like a bag. They’re even making money belts with more of an adjustable belt so that you can use however you want/feel better. Basically, becomes a bag.

    I really wish it would be more mainstream. I always wore shorts with more pockets because fuck I didn’t like holding shit in my hand. Recently, shorts with pockets haven’t really been a thing, so I gave the money belt a chance and I really like its utility. Nothing inside my short pockets anymore.

      Money belt

      TIL there’s another variant on (and name for?) the ol’ fanny pack. Huh! Ngl I don’t know what I’d use the thinner ones for (besides, well, money), but I dig the idea!

    I’d love to see men have more freedom to personalise their fashion with colour and cut. As it is, men’s fashion tends to be cookie cutter with the odd personal flourish, and it should be more than that

      I’d agree but I was at a wedding this summer and one guy wore a romper, so I’m no longer sure we should be trusted with that much fashion freedom.

      Be the change you want to see in the world. Cargo pants are great. They carry my CARGO. Best thing to make the leap from military to civilian clothing in the last thirty years.

      What do you put in your cargo pockets normally?

      Asking bc I always found them super uncomfortable, esp if I use those pockets for anything with a little weight. Even something like a kids pacifier would annoy me rubbing against my thigh/knee so I realize they’re just not for me but just curious

      Really though, isn’t this kind of the overpowered win over women’s fashion? They may not be “cool” but they maximize pockets while letting you stay cool.

    There needs to be more kilts. We need to adopt the kilt as not just a regional thing.

    Beyond that, I really wish that boxer briefs were more comfortable. I like the support, but they tend to bunch up if I sit for too long.
