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?
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.
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.
I will admit sometimes it’s nice knowing what’s expected.
underrated part about attending Indian weddings is getting to wear colorful attire
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!
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.
Don’t forget you get to pick socks and dress shirt.
I want to wear capes without people thinking I’m a magician lol
Didn’t you see The Incredibles? No capes!
We should replace all of men’s (pointlessly tight and uncomfortable) formal attire with loose-fitting, Qing dynasty-style robes.
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.
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’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!
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.

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
Make skirts and dresses socially acceptable for men! They look so comfy.
Make cargo shorts cool again
I don’t care if they are cool or not. I’m wearing them. I’m married and have kids, cool means nothing to me.
Dadetected. /s
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.
Cargo shorts are timeless.
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
Tater tots
Brilliant!
Can’t stand them personally either. Decided to start wearing shorts that stop above my knee and I’m so much more comfortable and look a lot nicer too. Wife loves them. Nothing else really matters.
They’re cool. I’m not sure how I’d carry modern massive phones without cargo pockets.
Cargo pants are back in a pretty big way, as we go into hotter months cargo shorts are definitely following!
Kaftans, tunics, dashikis.
I wish I had more opportunities to wear my 3-story-tall armored mechanical exoskeleton with gatling gun arms in public. Just never seem to get invited to the right parties.
Fuck you neckties. And just suits in general too.
Oh yeah, and why is it that sneakers aren’t an acceptable shoe in certain situations? I mean sure, if they are some gaudy fluorescent green shoes, they would look out of place in most work environments. But why is a monochromatic black or brown sneaker any different than a dress shoe?
I like ties. They’re not uncomfortable as long as you’re wearing your proper size shirt.
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)
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.
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.
Swamp gooch isn’t anyone’s friend.
Make the person designing outfits in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure in charge of all men’s fashion in real life.
Hugo Boss?
Business shorts
Bermuda: you rang?
No more mullets. They’re fuckin everywhere down here. You look like a half-fucked toothbrush, cut it out!
