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?

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.
I’m not a dude, but I think guys should embrace the purse( or manbag if you prefer). I love carrying all my shit with me.
Why do you think we have cargo pants? Why carry around a heavy thing when you can distribute the weight between a bunch of pockets.
My guy, have you tried carrying a power bank in the leg pocket of your cargos?! It is far less comfortable than having it in a cross body bag or fanny pack
Power bank as in a portable battery for charging your phone? If so yes, the only problem is that if I dont have a belt it will start pulling my pants down. If you mean something larger than a 7 inch x 3 inch black brick then I would probably just not keep it on my person.
We’ve been that way in UK for a while now! It’s very common in Europe too. People of all genders carry tote bags or wear cross body bags!
Hmm, I feel like the unisex backpack/slingbag may be what more folks are converging on. Purses increasingly only make sense for formal occasions, imo. Regardless, whatever one calls them, I tend to agree!
Plus, if cargo pants are so loathed, only makes sense to make some kinda bag to lug odds & ends the norm.
I bought a sling backpack a few years ago and love it. I wanted to carry my keys, phone charger, wallet, cell phone, extra batteries for my hearing aid, band-aids, tissues, etc, but pockets only give you so much storage. Cram them full of too much stuff and they tend to bulge in very unsightly ways.
With my sling, I can carry everything I need without stuffing my pockets. It’s very convenient.
The only downside is that my wife insists on calling it my “purse.” Why can’t men carry around a bag to contain things? Women get purses. Why are men confined to whatever we can cram into our pockets?
Do you have a slingbag you recommend? I saw someone mention one either here or in one of the cross-posts of this but it was a way pricy brand.
This is the one I bought for myself: https://a.co/d/bqpNGrw
It’s $19 and, while it’s small, it can hold a decent amount of items. It’s lated me 4 years ago far with no discernable wear
Recently, my son needed one, but he needed the ability to carry a water bottle as well. I bought him this one: https://a.co/d/3pS2W0F
This one is $23 and bigger. Plus, it has a water bottle holder. My son has only used it for a two weeks so I can’t attest to how well it holds up.
Oh nice! The first is more in line with an in-between of decent storage & compactness that I’ve been kind of interested in since learning of this type of bag. Thanks!
Yeah, the unisex bag is fine. Timbuk2 messenger bags have been my go-to for years. I’m not sure I even own an actual purse! 😂
We should replace all of men’s (pointlessly tight and uncomfortable) formal attire with loose-fitting, Qing dynasty-style robes.
Togas need to make a comeback.
Skirts, bro. Could really use that breeze on a hot day.
I’ve worn a few kilts. They’re way less comfortable than you’d expect, and then you need to manage your stupid clothes whenever you sit down.
But sporrans and sock knives are awesome.
Kilts are usually made out of pretty rugged material. Imagine a skirt as light as gym shorts.
Unless you’re trying to show off your fancy underwear, you need to manage the kilt when you sit down.
I’m all for displaying the goods, but people around me often have other preferences.
Swamp gooch isn’t anyone’s friend.
Id take robes too. Feels so much better than pants in summer.
The Saudi robe game seems pretty solid.
I occasionally see guys around here wearing skirts in summer. Not super common though admittedly. Or those harem pants that are really on the line between pants and skirt.
Is the world ready for men in spats and skirts? Doesn’t matter, it will be.
Kaftans, tunics, dashikis.
I want to wear capes without people thinking I’m a magician lol
Didn’t you see The Incredibles? No capes!
Why don’t you want people to think you’re a magician?!
Grow a long white beard and lean in to the whole wizard thing!
I put on my robe and wizard hat.
You’re a wizard Weaksauce!
Business shorts
Bermuda: you rang?

Can we also do this for women?

You just need to hang out in the right circles. Here in NYC I see a lot of that.
More sheer/thin or tight-fitting clothing.
cries in overweight lard-ass
The existence of it.
Coveralls, all day 'er day
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.
Look, some of you have bad taste, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make :P
Spoken like a man who has never seen a sweaty man wearing an increasingly see through adult romper!
Sweaty men aren’t so bad :P
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.
They also don’t keep you warm in the winter despite having a jacket involved.
Ill probably be judged, but honestly more skin, more tightness, etc.
Women can wear tight ass dresses or wear outfits that question why are they not just naked at that point, while men have long ass shorts.
I want to see men in leggings, crop tops, bikinis/thongs (were appropriate)
No more mullets. They’re fuckin everywhere down here. You look like a half-fucked toothbrush, cut it out!
