What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance?

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?

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.

Chrisosaur,

Fuck the haters. Buy what you like.

Cargo shorts are functional, you gotta rock the ol boy scout aesthetic.

astropenguin5,

Wait, cargo shorts are ‘out’? Shit. That’s like most of my shorts lol, they’re the best. For reference I’m 17 but not particularly fashion aware. Most of what I wear is robotics club t-shirt plus cargo shorts, jeans, or cargo pants. So don’t feel bad about what you wear, just wear what’s comfortable and you like.

MRPP,

If you care about fashion, everything will go out of style every now and then. If you like cargo shorts, wear them. There’s no reason to cater to someone elses gatekeeping. If you think that they don’t fit your look, then that’s a completely different issue.

They are very handy too in all the right ways.

You’re 17, nothing is out of fashion at that age.

But also pairing with a robotics club t-shirt is about as good as it gets for cargo shorts. I’ve seen plenty of grown men rocking that uniform. If you’re into robotics, having all those pockets makes sense 😅

SighBapanada,

No more tucking your shirt in. That shits uncomfortable af

Chrisosaur,

No more untucking! I don’t want to worry about showing off my gut every time I raise my arms.

I’d change everything! Women’s fashion has so many different sewing techniques and styles - maybe 10% of those are in men’s fashion. Give men lettuce hems and dropped waists! Princess seams and tulip sleeves! Make fashion unisex!

I don't know what any of those terms mean, but I support you in this!

Honestly, give me a purse. For utility, a wallet simply doesn’t compare.

angstylittlecatboy,

Stop gendering fashion.

Absolutely nothing.

Pulptastic,

Variation and color. I have the choice.of three minutely different collars and it can be black, blue, or gray. I want tangerine, asymmetric, with an ascot.

CCatMan,

Can we get some pants with built in knee pads?

CCatMan,

Nice, looks like something for motorcyclist. 👍 Thanks.

AceFuzzLord,

It’s probably just a me thing, but I would love to see in the workforce a shift back to the 60s in style.

As someone in their mid-twenties, I like the idea of in an office setting looking your absolute best or when you are serving someone at a store or restaurant/fast food place looking slightly nicer.

As someone who has had to do that, no, it needed to go away. I get wanting to look nice, but clothes need to be practical too. There's not much point to it when you're setting at a desk looking at PC monitor all day. It's expensive to buy, and expensive to keep clean. And back in the 60s it wasn't 45c in the shade either. Making employees wear suits and ties like back then is apt to kill a few people.

Something that’s inexpensive, comfortable, and socially acceptable. I could not give a fuck less what it looks like. I don’t think a $5k suit shows that I know what I am doing; in fact, it suggests the opposite. Someone that purchases a $5k suit is bad with money. I’m not.

whou,

actual skirts and dresses being a common piece of clothing for men. I love how they look and feel

Kind of like the tupenu in Tonga which is a pretty typical business attire. Looks sharp 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.

pokkiff,

Skirts! I want my legs to be free!

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.
