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?
Bring back capes. I want a big fur cloak in the winter.
And armor. While we’re at it, swords too.
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.
Edna Mode would have something to say to you.
Hats. It used to be that people wouldn’t be seen dead outside without a hat but these days, unless you’re a big fan of baseball hats, your options are sorely limited.
As a man with a increasingly shiny dome, I wish this was the case. Until then I will endeavor with my unfashionable Tilley wide brim hat.
Tilley FTW.
I live in the desert, they are common even if unfashionable lol.
Agreed! I wanna try wearing a ivay cap or bowler hat but the problem is, I’m 24 not 84 so I think id get alot of stares.
Let me dress in cool trench coats without looking like some kind of creep. That and capes too.
I want to wear capes too
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.
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.
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 😅
Cargo shorts are functional, you gotta rock the ol boy scout aesthetic.
Fuck the haters. Buy what you like.
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”.
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!
Formalwear for when it is hot outside. Like a summer wedding or something. It’s always fuckin miserable going to those kind of events sweating the whole time
All cargo shorts all the time. And cargo shirts, cargo socks, cargo shoes, cargo boxers.
So, basically, also pockets
I would drape myself in velvet, if it was socially acceptable @ElectroVagrant
Bye bye ties!
They literally look sloppy unless they feel too tight. I aim for about a 15% reduction in blood flow to my brain; then I know I’m looking sharp.
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?
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…)
No more gendering anything.
Stop gendering fashion.
We should bring back codpieces and flamboyant colored pantaloons, frills, and velvet jackets, at least in winter. Summer thong & codpiece would be fine.
