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?

      Honestly, this is one that gets the inner kid in me excited. I loved capes when I was a kid. I’d love to see them come back as formalwear.

      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.

      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.

    kilts would be nice. I like the fresh breeze.

      Yes, more everyday kilt-wearing. (and not utili-kilts, those are just cargo shorts…)

      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!

    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 😅

    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!

      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.

    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

    I would love to see more color and flair normalized for all kinds of men. I see so many dudes wearing the khaki pants, blue dress shirt uniform. Boring.

    More varied formalwear than “suit with some superficial variations” (tux, 2- or 3-piece, colors, tie variety). Broader range of styles.

    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.

    Variation and color. I have the choice.of three minutely different collars and it can be black, blue, or gray. I want tangerine, asymmetric, with an ascot.

    Honestly, give me a purse. For utility, a wallet simply doesn’t compare.
