What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance?

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?

I feel like skirts would be way more comfortable for guys a lot of the time.

In humid climates, shorts should be acceptable work attite.

I really dislike that the default for basic jackets is now collarless. I haven’t been able to find a normal cotton canvas windbreaker in years.

Trousers must have one short leg and one long leg

I wish men's fashion had more options and varietyl. I feel like it's basically just shirt and pants. Women on the other hand have skirts, leggings, etc.Womens clothing is more versatile and flexible.

You know, thinking about this… men’s clothing seems so diverse, it seems to avoid a lot of the issues that women’s fashion suffers from.

There’s a huge range from cheap to absurdly expensive; you can get jeans for $9 with Kohl’s cash or $9,000 from Chrome Hearts.

There’s a huge range in functionality; I’ve seen designers lean into hyper utilitarianism and ridiculous impracticality.

There’s a massive range in aesthetic; guys could wear Online Ceramics on Tuesday and Stefano Ricci on Thursday… no one would bat an eye.

I never really thought about it, but it does seem like guys have so much more flexibility IMO. And pockets.

If I had to change anything, I think that cheap IG-driven “built for you” suit manufacturers (Indochino, Proper Cloth, Sene) are kinda corny and predatory on young guys who don’t know better. Similar to luxury whitelabeled Fossil watches and Luxottica glasses in a way. More marketing, really.

Huh, this is a pretty different perspective from the other cross-posts of this. Thanks!

I think you hit on a good point regarding the cheap fashion you mention (I think it may fall under the fast fashion trends you can see some videos on?), which I think is really screwing people over across the board in terms of clothing choices by providing shoddy products.
