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?
No more gendering anything.
I’d like to see people give less of a shit what other men wear.
Fashion might be the most consumerist addiction we have in the world and fast fashion is wreaking terrible damage. Any creativity is lost to brand addiction and trend chasing. Don’t even get me started on advertising!
Clothes serve a utility, but fashion is the capitalisation of envy and materisalism. Wear monochrome if you want. Wear pink if you want. Just don’t kill the planet in the name of “fashion”.
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.
Edna Mode would have something to say to you.
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.
Robes, or whatever it is that Olgeird wears in The Witcher. Those would look fresh as hell and it would be nice to have an outfit to throw on like a dress.
I’ve seen women rocking shortalls, and want that to come to men’s fashion too. Everyone looks cute in them :)
What’s a shortall? Like shorts overalls?
Yup! Shorter versions of overalls for summer. They look really cute on everyone :)
Bye bye ties!
Normalise Roman style tunics. The whole thing is just a rectangle with a slit (for the neck) and sewing (for the sides), with two optional sleeves, and fastened to the waist with a belt, it doesn’t get simpler than that.
Also undyed clothes becoming a thing. What’s wrong with raw colours?
As an almost 50yo dad in decent shape my options for casual wear are limited. If I start dressing more trendy I look like I’m trying to be young. If I dress too comfortable I look like I’m giving up. Pretty much the only thing we can get away with is jeans and a black or white t-shirt. Or some non descript shirt. Buying shorts is maddening because cargo shorts are “out” and everything else is too “cool”. Everything ends up being boring.
I’ve resorted to buying better quality because it at least makes me feel I’m trying. But it’s still just … boring.
