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?

sbv,

Sporrans. Those leather Scottish fannypacks that give you a single pocket when you’re wearing a kilt.

They’re good for so many reasons:

  • extra pocket
  • has a chain, furry leather, and badass tassels
  • protect your junk from ranged attacks
  • big enough for wallet, keys, phone

Skirts, bro. Could really use that breeze on a hot day.

ElectroVagrant,

Is the world ready for men in spats and skirts? Doesn’t matter, it will be.

sbv,

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.

sbv,

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.

Zerfallen,

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.

I’d love to see men have more freedom to personalise their fashion with colour and cut. As it is, men’s fashion tends to be cookie cutter with the odd personal flourish, and it should be more than that

Lauchs,

I’d agree but I was at a wedding this summer and one guy wore a romper, so I’m no longer sure we should be trusted with that much fashion freedom.

Look, some of you have bad taste, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make :P

Lauchs,

Spoken like a man who has never seen a sweaty man wearing an increasingly see through adult romper!

Sweaty men aren’t so bad :P

Suits that actually fit. Does nobody know anymore how a man in a suit is supposed to look? They all think they’re so fashionable, instead they look like they walked with a paper suit through a steam bath. Awful.

pineapplefriedrice,

I’d have men wear more turtlenecks, and tighter jeans. Doesn’t need to be TIGHT, just not the insanely baggy styles that have been around for the past 20 years. And turtlenecks… they have the effect of making a guy’s shoulders look broader. People underestimate the effect of shoulders on appearance as a whole, in both men and women. If you’re a guy with rounded or somewhat narrower shoulders, turtlenecks are your best friend. You can also wear slightly wide-cut t-shirts, or sweaters that have a looser fit at the top or with a logo/detail right underneath where your neck ends.

Skinny jeans

Edit: No More Skinny Jeans

cntzr0,

In the same vein as cloaks, bring back robes. Hell yes I want people to think I’m a wizard.

peasinspace,

i shoved a nuke in my robe pocket

Puffymumpkins,

Bring cloaks back. And open carrying swords

pineapplefriedrice,

Can we also do this for women?

Puffymumpkins,

I would very much like that. Also high heels for everyone. 1-3 inch heels are actually pretty good for your posture and give your ankles a nice steady workout, although if you overdo it and wear them daily for 4 years you start to fuck up your Achilles tendon. And they give you a nice swag strut too

TastyWheat,

No more mullets. They’re fuckin everywhere down here. You look like a half-fucked toothbrush, cut it out!

Make thawbs and surongs fashionable in the hot deserts of the USA.

FluffyPotato,

Make the person designing outfits in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure in charge of all men’s fashion in real life.

forgotaboutlaye,

Hugo Boss?

Hazdaz,

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?

Monkeyhog,

I like ties. They’re not uncomfortable as long as you’re wearing your proper size shirt.

AphoticDev,

More tight-fitting clothes. Seriously, leggings are so comfy and guys get made fun of if we wear them.

SpaceToast,

Joggers are pretty popular

AphoticDev,

Yeah, I wear joggers everyday around the house, even in summer. But there’s not a long of tight pants for men besides joggers. Which is a pity, because I had no idea how comfortable tight, stretchable pants and shirts were until my wife started buying them for me. There’s just something about them that feels good.

Plus they show my ass really well, which means my wife is constantly swatting it as I go by.

SpaceToast,

Maybe joggers will be the gateway pants for tight men’s pants.

Clbull,

It gets worse for swimwear. Jammers are seen as something only competitive swimmers wear, while speedos are stereotyped as something only gay men wear.

spiffy_spaceman,

I feel obliged to wear a speedo because I’m old

CombatWombatEsq,

Make skirts and dresses socially acceptable for men! They look so comfy.
