What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance? - Lemmy.ca
lemmy.caWith 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.
Edna Mode would have something to say to you.
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.
Just bought a wollen cape for those crispy autumn mornings. It’s nice to lounge around in, but maybe I’ll summon the courage to take it out too.
Kinda feels like a trenchcoat in function, but lighter and with a hood to boot.
Stop gendering fashion.
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
skirts
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.
I can’t remember the last time I wore a tie (oh, probably my brother’s wedding). Don’t bother for interviews or funerals now.
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.
Fuck the haters. Buy what you like.
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.
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?
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!
lettuce hem
dropped waist
princess seams
tulip sleeves
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…)
Let me dress in cool trench coats without looking like some kind of creep. That and capes too.
I want to wear capes too
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”.
No more tucking your shirt in. That shits uncomfortable af
No more untucking! I don’t want to worry about showing off my gut every time I raise my arms.
No ties, no shirts, nothing in that fashion that is even close to formal
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.
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.
All cargo shorts all the time. And cargo shirts, cargo socks, cargo shoes, cargo boxers.
