Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

It's so boring. Ugh. All dark and drab colors and boxiness.

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

counterpoint, dark drab boxy clothing is the best kind of clothing

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed.

Re: Male clothing

[iceyred]

We should return to Elizabethian clothing. Women should be wearing poofy dresses, men should be wearing tights.

Re: Male clothing

[kaijinscendre]

Are you shopping at the Dark, Drab, Boxy Men's Clothes Store?

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

It's called Men's Wearhouse, and it is my NEMESIS. Two hundred shades of drab and cowardly. It's where you buy clothes that nobody will ever notice you wearing.

Re: Male clothing

[ariakas]

It's also better-made, comes in standardized sizes, and has real pockets.

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

True, I like the pockets.

I just wish "well made and practical" and "attractive" didn't seem to be mutually exclusive.

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yes. They also don't have sequins everywhere, you can't see through the fabric, and the necklines are rarely plunging.

Re: Male clothing

[shortysc22]

I wish more of my pants had pockets. They are useful! I hate the fake pockets on women's pants.

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

This is so fucking true. The best made coat I've ever bought was a mens' coat.
And let's not forget that 90% of the awesome band and fandom clothing merchandise are made in mens' styles.

Re: Male clothing

[queerwolf]

You aren't describing my clothes at all. Where are you shopping?

Re: Male clothing

[kaijinscendre]

The Dark, Drab, Boxy Men's Clothes Store.

Re: Male clothing

[kallanda_lee]

Well, where do you shop?

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

The number of fashion options that's culturally available to men is much, much smaller than that available to women. Likewise jewelry, hair, makeup, and basically all forms of plumage. It's a problem. Yes, there are tradeoffs, in that men's clothing is properly sizes, durable, and has pockets. And yes, this is because of the deep-seated cultural idea that men are supposed to be useful and women are supposed to be decorative. But even given those, the options remain more limited, and that remains a problem.

And don't say "You can wear yellow spandex if you want to!" like that's a realistic option for most people who have to live in the real world. It's like saying "If you think there's too much sexism at your job, you can just quit and get a job somewhere else that's less sexist!"

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

are you kidding NO

I being like 'the number of fashion options that's available is much less' is like going 'all women can wear are dresses and skirts also ps all dresses are the same all skirts are the same' - there is like an INSANE amount of variation, it's just that with menswear the options are more towards the lines of details and cuts / fits / trim and so on.

I think a lot of people tend to mistake like what's COMMON for guys and what's seen as normal for guys as what is actually out there for guys to wear - most dudes aren't into fashion at all but for those who are, there's a stupid amount of stuff to get into. And I mean take it from me, but even just the matter of shoes alone, holy SHIT, so much to take into, there are so many TYPES of dress shoes and each is appropriate only in some circumstances and so on...

also a lot of the time if you're a guy who's super into fashion you get called super gay, which is slightly frustrating, maybe you just like details and nice craftsmanship - but there's already an entire subuculture around beards, so of COURSE there'd be entire groups of guys dedicated to fashion and looking good, they're just far more niche / fringe and much less visible than women who are into the same

I'm not saying 'you can wear yellow spandex if you want to', I'm saying there IS a lot of stuff you can do that is still totally work appropriate and fashionable, just not being aware of that or most guys not really caring about it or bothering to doesn't mean it's not out there. There's so much less pressure on guys to be fashionable or to look into fashion - probably a NEGATIVE pressure, because it's seen as less manly or something, I don't know - but 'guys are generally encouraged to dress in more boring staid clothes and this is seen as more culturally acceptable' isn't the same as 'so those fashion options outside the norm don't exist'. They do, they're just much less visible unless you're actually into that sort of thing.

Re: Male clothing

The only clothes I own that are boxy looking are my formal clothes, and my dress shirts are brightly colored (except for one since there are some situations where a white shirt is absolutely the better option). You clearly need to look around a little more, or try shopping online rather than your local stores (make sure the site you're buying from has a return policy so you can get the right fit).

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

the boxy thing is probably because GUYS IN GENERAL (but not in specific, y'know) tend to be boxy and so because they are their clothes just follow along

and I think you're mistaking 'what most dudes wear' for 'what is AVAILABLE for most dudes to wear', like generally the guys I know prefer to wear dark drab stuff because its easy and takes less thinking and its not that they dont LIKE fashion but fashion is less important and so this all takes less effort to coordinate

the nicer fancier shit is out there, but it takes more effort, so the average guy wouldnt really unless he had an actual interest

I mean just take a look at some of the /r/mfa what are you wearing today threads - http://www.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/comments/2mkne2/waywt_nov_17th/ this is today's and here are some guys from it

http://i.imgur.com/oV1hVBD.jpg so drab
http://imgur.com/a/LkTbl#fhUqEGM so little color
http://i.imgur.com/Pr3Fxen.jpg so boxy

and granted it is WINTER this is not the season for BRIGHT SUMMERY PASTELS but trust me the spring threads have plenty of them, it's a matter of being interested and looking out for stuff and okay a lot of the time you need to buy stuff online but it's THERE if you are in any way inclined towards that sorta thing

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

Can we have a menswear fashion thread?

Cause some of those coordinates are pretty amazing. Especially that last one. I kind of wish I was a guy now, haha!

Re: Male clothing

[hands4healing]

My body is such that men's clothing often fits better (at least in trous), and I can usually find all sorts of great colors when I go shopping.

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

As a woman, I still manage to wear all the dark/drab and boxy woman's clothing. Sue me.

Re: Male clothing

[cloud_riven]

Quit projecting your inability to coordinate on helpless clothes.

Re: Male clothing

[kallanda_lee]

This is basically my bf's lament every time he enters a clothes shop.

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

Hahahaha, yes!

Re: Male clothing

[(Anonymous)]

shop at stores geared toward Asian men like Uniqlo or YesStyle
