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?

Skirts! I want my legs to be free!
Let me dress in cool trench coats without looking like some kind of creep. That and capes too.
I want to wear capes too
kilts would be nice. I like the fresh breeze.
I regularly wear a kilt at formal events. They are made of several layers of thick wool and if you don’t wear knee-high thick woollen socks you look like an idiot.
I assure you they’re not as breezy as you’d think!
Yes, more everyday kilt-wearing. (and not utili-kilts, those are just cargo shorts…)
Bring back baggy pants… cuz stretch jeans are not for men, period.
Chinos.
What?
Its an alternative to jeans, stretchy or otherwise.
Oh, yeah, I googled, sorry, not a native English speaker. Yeah, we call it differently, but most definitely yes. I don’t even wear jeans cloth at all, I almost exclusevly wear baggy pants from twill… or linen ones in the summer.
👍
Is all good.
I had a pair of relaxed fit jeans that also had polyester in the material. They were the best jeans I’ve ever owned. I got skinnier and under grew them, which was sad. The stretch on them only comes into play when sitting/squatting and it was well received. That said, I wear baggy, oversized sweatpants 90% of the time I’m not in jeans. Comfort > style
You’re like me, I wear everything oversizes, even when I’m at work, lol.
The stretch on them only truth can’t into okay when sitting/squatting and it was week received.
Can you please translate this to English?
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
I’m sorry, I didn’t get that.
Wow, I fucked that up. I have edited my comment. I should proof read mobile typing.
*Only comes into play…and it was well received.
I go from sitting to standing all day and stretchy jeans and belts are the best.
The environment I work in doesn’t require polished attire. I now switch between two pairs of jeans as needed. If they appear clean and don’t stink, I’ll roll with them. I’m not customer facing and I don’t need to impress anyone. Really I have one pair that are comfy, and another pair for wash day.
No point in wasting water and electricity dagnabbit.
Also, washed jeans take a minute to break back in, and id rather not. I don’t even have to re loop my belt each day, it’s just there for me to click and go.
My man 🤗.
That’s already happening
I noticed, thank god to be honest, I started looking at men’s butts, lol. Some of them are sweeeet 😂.
Propeller beanies as formal and business attire.
Some form of medium sized bag that wouldn’t attract the “handbag” stigma. I use a laptop bag due to the amount of stuff I carry with me but it is a bit too big.
Briefcase
Backpack?
The Peak Design Everyday Sling might be for you.
That bag is perfect, especially if you use the capture clip.
I have a couple slings that i really like for this
More varied formalwear than “suit with some superficial variations” (tux, 2- or 3-piece, colors, tie variety). Broader range of styles.
Bring back capes. I want a big fur cloak in the winter.
Honestly, this is one that gets the inner kid in me excited. I loved capes when I was a kid. I’d love to see them come back as formalwear.
I came here to say capes. I would want one that’s more casual/tone down though and not one that makes me look like a count tbh.
And armor. While we’re at it, swords too.
Are you Frank Costanza’s lawyer by any chance?
Just bought a wollen cape for those crispy autumn mornings. It’s nice to lounge around in, but maybe I’ll summon the courage to take it out too.
Kinda feels like a trenchcoat in function, but lighter and with a hood to boot.
Edna Mode would have something to say to you.
I know it is not your question but… Everyone says pockets for women’s fashion but that is not the most important. At least here in the US the most important is having proper sizes on clothes.
For the most part men’s clothes let you pick things right. You know your waist and inseam for pants, and often have a proper size for shirts and collars.
Women’s fashion often has no size other than the ambiguous s/m/l/xl indicator and teen/woman’s/plus often use the same tag to indicate wildly different sizes. On top of that, when close use a measurement it is not grounded in reality, so a 14 at one shop may be a 16 at another, and neither are a direct measure of your waist. Finally women’s pants only come in 3 lengths (petite, tall, or not specified) and it is difficult to find most combinations.
The best thing we could do for fashion in any sex is to standardize sizes globally and make them all based on a tape measure measurement. That way you could buy 32x30 pants online knowing they will fit, no matter the brand.
Honestly, yeah, size standardization in some form would help so, so much. It’s such a pain trying to figure out whether something will fit, even when it says it’s the same size as another garment, like you say, 14 at one shop or even in one brand and 16 in another.
Both genders have the same problem. Women get underwear in exact sizing, along with tops that usually are exact. Men get exact sizing in pants and button up shirts. Women do have the same problem with sizing of pants and dresses, but women also have a vastly larger selection. Go look at how many stores sell only to women. Then go look at the stores that sell to both but then have a women’s section that is 5-10x the size of the men’s section.
The only issue is that different cuts and styles can affect those objectively correct measurements. When you ask a guy what size jeans they wear, they most often will also remark what brand they prefer. It’s not really that they actually prefer it, but mostly that fits better than maybe another brand in the same size.
As a man I can assure you we have the same problem. I have garments with a 30" waist that fit the same as a 34" waist. And I have pants with a 29" inseam that go past my feet and 32" inseam that don’t.
Exactly. Even sizes that represent an actual physical measurement after pretty much made up numbers.
I have 4 or 5 Levi’s 501s. All the exact same size, but the fit differs wildly. Two of them I bought at the same time, just in different colors and they’re like two different models.
Sweaters are just as bad. I’m a taller guy (1,90m), and it’s almost impossible to find a sweater (or any other upper body garment for that matter) that has proper torso length, sleeve length and width at all relevant places. If I find a sweater that’s long enough in all dimensions and doesn’t feel like a straight jacket around the chest, it’s so wide around the stomach, that I could easily hide a watermelon.
It’s like the fashion industry assumes, that humans can’t be tall and not fat.
I would love to see more color and flair normalized for all kinds of men. I see so many dudes wearing the khaki pants, blue dress shirt uniform. Boring.
I want to go to work wearing cozy robes that give big buffs to intellect, haste, and mastery that give off a vibe of 10,000 souls of the dammed are sewn into the threads. You know, dress for the job you want. I guess cloaks would be a reasonable start since raid gear may be a bit of an inconvenience in the office.
I will be happy with just +30 resistance to frost and +60 resistance to being fired.
Normalize patterns, stoning, sequins, and non-functional accessories; normalize wrap around single legged bottoms of all kinds… I’m genderqueer so neither side of gendered clothing styles suits me ideally, so I mix them, but I’m not especially feminine, so I’d like to find like, thick flat black skirts, shawls, and all kinds of feminized items in more masculine styles, and of course the opposite for femme leaning enbies and varieties for any other potential aesthetic.
I think we should just take all the styles we have, mix them in the languages and symbols of any gendered styles we can, so everybody can wear any items they like best in styles they most appreciate aesthetically.
We didn’t ask for stretchy pants. Give me back my cotton jeans.
And while you’re at it, put back the other two belt loops.
Stretch everything! It’s getting hard to find anything without it.
It doesn’t last as long, that why. Actually good denim is really hard to get now on jeans without paying a fortune.
Outerknown jeans are nice

I hate beards so I’d make clean shaven fashionable. No real reason except for my purely personal preference.
I think we’re past the beard phase in the UK. Which is good, I can’t grow one.
pretty sure most men (myself included) find beards just easier to deal with than daily shaves…daily shaving makes my skin unhappy
Im having the opposite problem. Over here, everyone and their dog is clean shaven (with a little stupple for the brave) . Bring back luscious beards!
