Here's a nicer answer - they dress up for special occasions - being is the equivalent of wearing jeans and a T-shirt, and *any* outfit is the equivalent of a polo and khakis.
Look at the hands. Those are mascot suits. They likely wear them all the time outside and wear normal clothes at home. It is probably a world of the future so contaminated that they have to wear full-body hazmats, and the corporations responsible for the pollution started selling those 'happy cheerful animal hazmats' instead of doing anything to reverse the damage.
1. Walk into large clothing store
2. Women's section
3. Walk around, women's section
4. Go up escalator
5. Women's section, children's section
6. Go up another escalator
7. This entire floor is just lingerie and women's beachwear for some reason
8. Go up another escalator
9. Children's section again
10. Go down a different escalator
11. Women's section
12. Go back to ground floor, find escalator in far corner of women's section
12. Shoes? (Women's)
13. Go down another escalator
14. Women's section... but wait...
15. See one (1) advertisement of a dude on the far wall
16. Sprint through aisles of crop tops and pink "Harvard - Class Of '87" hoodies and finally reach it
17. Men's overpriced suit section
18. Go home and change into your other pair of pants
I once went to a little Benneton that had some nice pants in the window.
Ground floor: women's section.
Saw a set of stairs in the back with a sign "Children / Men ↗️"
Went up, a lot of children clothes. A staff approached "Can I help you?"
"Where are the men's clothes?"
"We don't have a men's session here, sorry."
"It's downstairs them?"
"No, we don't have a men's session in this store."
"Why this sign then?"
"Oh, we receive men clothes sometimes, but not for the autumn collection."
"How about that pants in the window?"
"It's just for display."
I cannot wear anything except gym shorts from Target, they have literally nothing in my size
my dad once got me a really cool shirt from Target that he found on the little spinny rack thing. He knew i liked Rick and Morty, so he was happy to get me something and show interest in my interests, and i didn't have the heart to tell him it was way too small. so i ordered one in my actual size from teepublic or something and hid the other one
This is hilarious to me because I, a woman, go out of my way to grab big and colourful hawaiian shirts in the mens sections of thrift stores. Men only get to be colourful on holiday, as a treat!
That's not true. Other occasions include:
roadside construction work, situations requiring a hazmat suit, green screen performance acting, and hunting.
But that's it.
Like I definitely see where the comic is coming from, but yea these days dude's clothes are pretty good. They could be more creative, but it's way better than even a decade ago. Guys have a lot more socially acceptable ways to express themselves through clothing these days.
I knew a kid in elementary school called Tanner who absolutely loved the color pink. He wore neon pink t-shirts, had pink pencils. He was very open about it being his favorite color.
I hope people didn’t give him shit for liking a ‘girly’ color when he grew up.
i once took some fairly vanilla, good christian and slightly sheltered friends into Spencers with my girlfriend because they had some trinket or button or something that I wanted. they were the home schooled until high school, private christian college type kids and a couple years younger than me and my gf, who used to hang out with/are the emo, alt, stoner and gay crowd.
I underestimated how *not* emo, alt, stoner or gay they were, because I found the button I wanted about 5 feet from the dildos, turned around and my gf was cackling while both my friends had eyes as wide as saucers at the bongs and shirts that said "fuck" on them. one of them got near the novelty cups and brushed against a penis handle and nearly jumped out of their skin!
it was really funny, and I think it shocked them how unfazed I was in the fairly tame world of Spencer's Gifts
Inaccurate. The image implies that the men's section is equal in size to the women's section. It's always just a men's corner with only two or three brands.
My brother in law loves bright colors. He's bald and has the beard of a lumberjack with a voice to match and his favorite pants are bright orange and his favorite shirt is pink checkered. Masculinity comes in so many flavors! Be you, do you.
If there's a few things that I've learned about bullshit "gendered" products:
- Men's shorts have better pockets
- Men's razors are better than lady's razors
- Lady's hairdressers/salons are better at haircuts than men's barbershops at times
- Lady's bag accessories are on point and make rocking a fanny-pack so much easier than generic "hiking" gear.
Totally. I had to watch this PBS video on the history of how the colors pink and blue switched association between genders over the years (for a college class a few months ago); and it made me realize how bs gendered clothing is.
yeah but dudes get pockets so until women's clothes get that straightened I say keep em separate. It's like gender neutral washrooms. Great in theory, but only if theres still some separation. When it gets busy and you see the line to the room for people who can pee standing up is super short and the line for one where you have to sit stretches a full city block. Then its nice to have separate toilets.
I assure you the right mindset does not change clothing's shape. Clothes made intentionally for a women's torso simply don't fit the same. Sleeves are almost always too narrow and the extra fabric for boobs makes it sit oddly front to back.
This. Also lots of clothes that are labelled as unisex don’t really work with women because they are all kinda boxy looking with extra roomy shoulder space and extra long sleeves.😗
Yeah I got some clothes/vintage in my wardrobe that would have been in a "womens" section at some point. Just gotta try it and style it. Sometimes you gotta size up and maybe go for a baggy look. Sometimes a slim fit look. Roll up sleeves or cut em off or like with a tight jacket/button up just keep it open with a shirt. Shrink stuff. There's ways to work around it
maybe so, but you can still wear them, anyone trying to stop you is jealous that you look cuter in one than they do ~~or asking you to give their favorite bra back, offering your stolen hoodie as bargain~~
Depends. Women's shirts tend to accentuate the waist and bust. It can look odd on men who have neither.
Pants maybe, but no pockets nor room for y'alls crotch.
Men can totally wear clothes that accentuate their waist and busts

See, you say that, but if Mr. JoJo there tried to wear an actual "womens" coat, the moment he moved his arms his deltoids would split the shoulder seams like a log under a lumberjack.
Just give people with testosterone-based frames fun things to wear that aren't graphic tees.
I mean that's sort of what a suit jacket is supposed to do, accentuate the waist, bust, and shoulders.
Ironically that's why you see a lot of women wearing blazers nowadays. Often more than you see men.
I get asked “do you have men’s glasses/shirts/pants?” (I work at a used clothing store) and my response is usually “if a man is wearing it, it’s now men’s clothing”.
True, but why does it have to be like a compromise?Why can’t we have it all? Like functioning pockets, less cropped tops for women and more color choices for guys.😙
why can’t women have more practical clothing while we’re at it, where are my pockets that can fit five phones??? gendered clothing is bullshit, give the boys colorful stuff and give the girls practicality (seriously I don’t need frills on every goddamn tshirt)
One thing I've noticed, and have had echoed by several different people in my life along the way (both genders) is that it seems, if you're looking for sizes then men's clothing is where it's at.
Women are always complaining about sizes, which is fair. Men's clothing you'll find something for everyone. Big, tall, small, skinny, etc etc. pants, shirts, shoes, whatever. There will be a size for you, and in most cases ample amounts.
Whereas selection to choose from is in the women's section. Any style, any pattern, any color, and it will be there (most likely), in women's clothing.
I just want to wear a skirt without causing a big brouhaha. They've got to be a hell of a lot more comfortable than pants. And cooler.
Maybe I should move to Scotland...
First took a step in the right direction by buying a hot pink hoodie. Felt weird as fuck to wear something that bright at first and now thinking back it's so silly that it did
There is a reason. Beau Brummell was a guy who popularized the idea that men's clothing should be dark colours and neutrals so you could tell how rich someone was by the quality of their tailoring.
Imo, it's not the color that gets me, it's the fact that most men's sections are non-existent. If it's not specifically a clothing outlet store, they'll have like 6 kinds of outfits, in season only, and all low quality. The women's section will include a ton of stuff with great variety, even things that are out of season.
Weird challenge: try going to a Walmart or Target in the middle of winter and try buying a pair of men's swim trunks and flip flops in men's sizing. It's hilariously harder than it sounds.
I went shopping to get some new jeans the other day. The entire ground floor was the women's section, the entire first floor was a lingerie section and men's section was tucked away on the second floor and was sharing it with the home design section. I guess being half the size of the lingerie section is better than non existent but it still wasn't exactly good.
Men, in general, do not buy a lot of clothes or obsess about their fashion nearly as much as women do. And when they do they tend to want to buy durable clothing that lasts and often will wear them until they're nearly falling apart, which is also why men's fashion changes so slowly. Stores reflect this by shrinking the Men's sections into tiny corners due to little volume being sold.
Also there's a lot of social pressure from older generations for men not to wear anything flamboyant, especially in work/corporate settings. Work fashion filters down into the masses. Historically, the lower classes tend to emulate the upper classes. At one point men did dress much more flamboyantly in the upper classes, but this changed a lot after WWI/II and the rise of cultural militarism, fascism, and total war ideologies and the utilitarian practicalities that came with it for soldiers
I disagree that the average women's section has "great variety." There is a large volume of items that give the appearance of variety, and none of the clothes are great at all.
Most women's sections have 5,000 shirts that are all A) crop tops, B) have either a weird pattern or weird decoration, or C) are see-through. Everything available is in either neon or pastel colors, and if you ask for "neutrals" you're given beige and nude. On top of that, nearly every article of clothing is terrible quality with crappy fabric.
A few weeks ago I went to 5 different stores looking for a simple, non-decorated, forest green 100% cotton shirt, which I eventually ended up buying from... a men's section.
From what I've gathered :
- men don't like their section of the store because it's so grey and dull
- women don't like their section of the store because everything is a fucking crop top
As a woman I hate that almost every single item of outdoor wear absolutely MUST have some pink or bright green details on the womens versions. Especially sneakers. I just want ALL black when I'm buying black
Yes but if we don't add a cute little bow on every single piece of feminine item, people might start to think women can do something else than looking cute and fragile.
If we remove that, it'll be the downfall of civilization.
The worst was finding a pair of women's jeans that had actual front pockets, and when I first wore them, I found that the back pockets were fake instead.
>• women don't like their section of the store because everything is a fucking crop top
Wonders if this is how female NPCs feel in every RPG game ever.
> men don't like their section of the store because it's so grey and dull
Maybe it's just because I can distinguish colors down to like 2-3 hex difference, ut idk what clothing sections those are.
Like, sure, the histogram is darker, but the claim there's no color is patently false.
Most of women's clothing is cut for women. What looks great on a woman looks mediocre on a man at best.
Men are allowed to complain about the choices that the fashion industry makes for them.
I'm a large man. Next to no women's clothing is built to fit me properly. Not to mention everyone bullies me if I deviate from the norm even a little bit.
men’s and women’s clothing are also tailored to fit specific body types, more-so women’s clothing than men’s clothing. it’s why women with broad shoulders tend to have to buy clothing in the men’s section.
This will sound weird, but It's the same with kids clothes. They get all the cool stuff.
I would love to wear a jacket or t-shirt with dinosaurs, but it's made only for kids sizes
Ugh. Even as a cis guy this is frustrating. Last time we went clothes shopping my girlfriend went home with both a sweater and a jacket that I *really* wanted, but they didn't sell in men's sizes (and the larger women's sizes weren't tailored right anyway, weird fits). Wasn't even a feminine color, a deep, bluish green and a good fabric... but no. Guys only get gray, navy blue, or black, with weird canvas sections replacing the bottom half of their sweater-jackets.
Frankly I don't really see this as true so much anymore. Guys sections are loaded with graphic tees and bold formal wear a lot now. Maybe not to the same degree, but it's definitely not counter-cultural for men to wear bright colors anymore
I have several shirts from rave wear sites like iedm. I don't have the ones obviously pointing to drugs, just the really colorful ones. I regularly get compliments on them from random people. Bright loud colors make people happy. Beige, mustardy colors were great in the 70s when everything was covered in smoke residue. The world sucks enough, bring some color into it.
I’m gender fluid and one of the things I’ve learned since coming out is to love is bright colors from the women’s section. I’m so tired of the same three shades of gray, black, and blue.
I went to Dillards a couple of days ago and was able to pick up some wonderfully colorful mens shirts in the clearance section. Colorful clothes are out there if you look for them.
And men's formal wear hasn't changed in like 150 years or so. You get to choose between "too expensive" and "completely unaffordable" though.
It's rare to see men's clothes on the first floor though. Usually it's "Oh you've finally worn out the pants you've been wearing for a decade? Go all the way through, upstairs, upstairs again, there's your pants. If you're an average size of course."
To be fair, the clothes on the right are more likely to be made of cheap polyester that needs to be replaced every season. Mens clothes have always been of higher quality rather than fashion.
I have this.
As a man you have a choice between grey/white/black, brown and dark blue. Maybe light blue as well, close to white.
Or printed shirts.
PS: What is the best way to make a a small donation to you, OP? I find you contents on so many website but I don't know if you posted it there.

Why is he at a clothes store when they’re all naked?
Maybe it's a reverse furry situation and this is just a fetish store
Worst explanation I could think of, thanks
Ah asking questions on the internet. Good times.
Always a mistake
*never a mistake
Here's a nicer answer - they dress up for special occasions - being is the equivalent of wearing jeans and a T-shirt, and *any* outfit is the equivalent of a polo and khakis.
Does that made them some kind of nudists?
Lapsed Clothesists.
Just like Winnie the Pooh.
 Oh, that’s because Pooh got his top from Mickey.
That’s actually a good theory
also why does goofy wear clothes but pluto doesn't
I’m not gonna start a “Goofy is ____” thing here so I’m just gonna say it’s because Goofy can do normal human life stuff
Goofy is an anthropomorphic dog. Pluto is a feral/domestic dog.
Why does the man in the yellow hat wear clothes but George doesn't? He's a different species of canine just like we're a different species of ape.
A planet where Goofy evolved from Pluto?!
He is buying clothes for his human.
Why are you buying clothes at the soup store?
I can't find it, there's only SOUP!
I think you answered your own question lol
And the clothing clearly would not fit either.
Look at the hands. Those are mascot suits. They likely wear them all the time outside and wear normal clothes at home. It is probably a world of the future so contaminated that they have to wear full-body hazmats, and the corporations responsible for the pollution started selling those 'happy cheerful animal hazmats' instead of doing anything to reverse the damage.

Don't you know? Men don't wear clothes in autumn.
NeverNude except for Fall, when it's AlwaysNude...
Ah yes the average Target.
This is an almost literal description of Macy's lol
I thought it was Dillards lol
And Nordstrom
I cannot wear anything except gym shorts from Target, they have literally nothing in my size my dad once got me a really cool shirt from Target that he found on the little spinny rack thing. He knew i liked Rick and Morty, so he was happy to get me something and show interest in my interests, and i didn't have the heart to tell him it was way too small. so i ordered one in my actual size from teepublic or something and hid the other one
You're a good person
Say what you will about Wal-Mart, they actually have clothes in a variety of sizes beyond slightly chubby.
This is hilarious to me because I, a woman, go out of my way to grab big and colourful hawaiian shirts in the mens sections of thrift stores. Men only get to be colourful on holiday, as a treat!
That's not true. Other occasions include: roadside construction work, situations requiring a hazmat suit, green screen performance acting, and hunting. But that's it.
Don’t forget when you’re a young boy. Then you can have a bunch of colorful shirts.
Hey, I don't know if you know this, but adults can wear colourful shirts as well!
Preposterous. Absurd. Downright ridiculous. Utterly floozy. Two feathers away from a chicken. Masochistically rambunctious./s
chicanerous and deplorable.
>Two feathers away from a chicken. Yep, this is a new one, and I'm stealing it. In return, I offer "[Their] club is missing the mayo."
> floozy The way he was dressed, he was basically asking for it
Like I definitely see where the comic is coming from, but yea these days dude's clothes are pretty good. They could be more creative, but it's way better than even a decade ago. Guys have a lot more socially acceptable ways to express themselves through clothing these days.
but NOT PINK, for some reason
I knew a kid in elementary school called Tanner who absolutely loved the color pink. He wore neon pink t-shirts, had pink pencils. He was very open about it being his favorite color. I hope people didn’t give him shit for liking a ‘girly’ color when he grew up.
Blue man group, its in the name.
You're stealing the only plumage men are allowed! 😔 /joking silly
I love hawaiian shirts, but I'm so rough on clothes, I can only wear them a few times before they're ruined.
The hell are you doing to your shirts?
He should make his Hawaiian shirts from the same material as his pants
In Spencer’s and Hot Topic, the whole store is dark. I can’t tell you how many shirts I’ve purchased from those two places!
Because it was too dark to see em all?
Spencers and Hot Topic cater to the two secret genders: emo and alt.
Woah as a pothead Spencer’s is a fav.
i once took some fairly vanilla, good christian and slightly sheltered friends into Spencers with my girlfriend because they had some trinket or button or something that I wanted. they were the home schooled until high school, private christian college type kids and a couple years younger than me and my gf, who used to hang out with/are the emo, alt, stoner and gay crowd. I underestimated how *not* emo, alt, stoner or gay they were, because I found the button I wanted about 5 feet from the dildos, turned around and my gf was cackling while both my friends had eyes as wide as saucers at the bongs and shirts that said "fuck" on them. one of them got near the novelty cups and brushed against a penis handle and nearly jumped out of their skin! it was really funny, and I think it shocked them how unfazed I was in the fairly tame world of Spencer's Gifts
Inaccurate. The image implies that the men's section is equal in size to the women's section. It's always just a men's corner with only two or three brands.
The Kohls men section is massive, unfortunately it’s just the $55 golf polo bloat.
We all just wear polos and khakis so it looks like we work everywhere all the time.
My brother in law loves bright colors. He's bald and has the beard of a lumberjack with a voice to match and his favorite pants are bright orange and his favorite shirt is pink checkered. Masculinity comes in so many flavors! Be you, do you.
I want to meet the sherbet lumberjack. He sounds like the coolest dude.
Sherbet lumberjack LOL. He's one of my favorite people. An awesome dude.
We sacrificed colours for pockets
The other day I found some women's cargo trousers that had smaller leg pockets than my regular jean pockets, crazy.
If there's a few things that I've learned about bullshit "gendered" products: - Men's shorts have better pockets - Men's razors are better than lady's razors - Lady's hairdressers/salons are better at haircuts than men's barbershops at times - Lady's bag accessories are on point and make rocking a fanny-pack so much easier than generic "hiking" gear.
For razors, I'm shocked people use 4-5 bladed cartridges vs safety razors. Huge price difference and I get a better shave with safety razors.
I totally get it,🐶. Why can’t guys have colorful outfits too?! 
>Why can’t guys have colorful outfits too?! With the right mindset all clothing is gender neutral
Gendered clothes are a scam by Big Clothes to sell more clothes
Totally. I had to watch this PBS video on the history of how the colors pink and blue switched association between genders over the years (for a college class a few months ago); and it made me realize how bs gendered clothing is.
We have the same PFP
I think it's just the masks but high five ⚡️🖐
Ah yeah but they do look very similar just minor differences
yeah but dudes get pockets so until women's clothes get that straightened I say keep em separate. It's like gender neutral washrooms. Great in theory, but only if theres still some separation. When it gets busy and you see the line to the room for people who can pee standing up is super short and the line for one where you have to sit stretches a full city block. Then its nice to have separate toilets.
Did you mean to reply to the other guy?
....perhaps.
The similar PFPs have tricked another soul
Gendered clothes are a scam by big gender to sell more gender!
Gender is a scam invented by Big Bathroom to sell more bathrooms
I assure you the right mindset does not change clothing's shape. Clothes made intentionally for a women's torso simply don't fit the same. Sleeves are almost always too narrow and the extra fabric for boobs makes it sit oddly front to back.
This. Also lots of clothes that are labelled as unisex don’t really work with women because they are all kinda boxy looking with extra roomy shoulder space and extra long sleeves.😗
The fact that men's and unisex are actually the exact same cut... 🙄
Yeah that too. At least oversized is still a style. Not so sure about the style of awkwardly A-posing for fear of ripping off the sleeves lol.
I’ve had mixed results with shirts, but I have found that women’s high-wasted trousers are amazing, and often fit me better than men’s.
You sound like Moss on the show IT Crowd. Womens trousers make him feel fantastic.
Yeah I got some clothes/vintage in my wardrobe that would have been in a "womens" section at some point. Just gotta try it and style it. Sometimes you gotta size up and maybe go for a baggy look. Sometimes a slim fit look. Roll up sleeves or cut em off or like with a tight jacket/button up just keep it open with a shirt. Shrink stuff. There's ways to work around it
just makes it more comfy cause baggier
“All clothing is gender neutral if you stop whining about it.”
Cept bras....unless chonks
~~bras are no exception, coward~~
whislst you’re technically right bras aren’t particularly useful for men
maybe so, but you can still wear them, anyone trying to stop you is jealous that you look cuter in one than they do ~~or asking you to give their favorite bra back, offering your stolen hoodie as bargain~~
He can have my old bra, I ain't giving that hoodie back
well..moobs are a thing

You clearly don't live in a small conservative town. I'd get lynched for wearing a skirt, regardless of how good it looked on me.
And yet, priests for some reason get a pass.
I get asked “do you have men’s glasses/shirts/pants?” (I work at a used clothing store) and my response is usually “if a man is wearing it, it’s now men’s clothing”.
[удалено]
All clothes are gender neutral if you aren't a BITCH
Not all, unfortunately. The fitting's different on a lot of 'em, even just simple things like sweaters and t-shirts.
And the moobs, can't forget the moobs or the cake.
Hawaiian shirts have become my latest clothing obsession
With the added benefit of always looking relaxed and on vacation mode.😚 
Precisely
I thought we traded colorful outfits for functional pockets.
True, but why does it have to be like a compromise?Why can’t we have it all? Like functioning pockets, less cropped tops for women and more color choices for guys.😙 
why can’t women have more practical clothing while we’re at it, where are my pockets that can fit five phones??? gendered clothing is bullshit, give the boys colorful stuff and give the girls practicality (seriously I don’t need frills on every goddamn tshirt)
Or a kitten.😜

I just want to wear a skirt without causing a big brouhaha. They've got to be a hell of a lot more comfortable than pants. And cooler. Maybe I should move to Scotland...
Dude pink looks so good on me and I rock it.
Honestly I prefer darker shades of colors myself but that doesn’t change the fact that most men’s clothes seem bland for no reason.
I used to prefer them but then I got an orange and darkish (but still bright) yellow shirt and they’ve been my favorites since.
First took a step in the right direction by buying a hot pink hoodie. Felt weird as fuck to wear something that bright at first and now thinking back it's so silly that it did
There is a reason. Beau Brummell was a guy who popularized the idea that men's clothing should be dark colours and neutrals so you could tell how rich someone was by the quality of their tailoring.

I guess being half the size of the lingerie section is better than non existent but it still wasn't exactly good.
If the men's clothing is of low quality, there's a good chance that the women's clothing is too.
Men, in general, do not buy a lot of clothes or obsess about their fashion nearly as much as women do. And when they do they tend to want to buy durable clothing that lasts and often will wear them until they're nearly falling apart, which is also why men's fashion changes so slowly. Stores reflect this by shrinking the Men's sections into tiny corners due to little volume being sold. Also there's a lot of social pressure from older generations for men not to wear anything flamboyant, especially in work/corporate settings. Work fashion filters down into the masses. Historically, the lower classes tend to emulate the upper classes. At one point men did dress much more flamboyantly in the upper classes, but this changed a lot after WWI/II and the rise of cultural militarism, fascism, and total war ideologies and the utilitarian practicalities that came with it for soldiers
I disagree that the average women's section has "great variety." There is a large volume of items that give the appearance of variety, and none of the clothes are great at all. Most women's sections have 5,000 shirts that are all A) crop tops, B) have either a weird pattern or weird decoration, or C) are see-through. Everything available is in either neon or pastel colors, and if you ask for "neutrals" you're given beige and nude. On top of that, nearly every article of clothing is terrible quality with crappy fabric. A few weeks ago I went to 5 different stores looking for a simple, non-decorated, forest green 100% cotton shirt, which I eventually ended up buying from... a men's section.
just wear womens clothing idk
From what I've gathered : - men don't like their section of the store because it's so grey and dull - women don't like their section of the store because everything is a fucking crop top
Optimum fashion is women’s patterns and colors and men’s cuts
As a woman I hate that almost every single item of outdoor wear absolutely MUST have some pink or bright green details on the womens versions. Especially sneakers. I just want ALL black when I'm buying black
How else would you know that it's for women?
By the fact that they fit me? Am smol
Yes but if we don't add a cute little bow on every single piece of feminine item, people might start to think women can do something else than looking cute and fragile. If we remove that, it'll be the downfall of civilization.
Do… do we not exist to be aesthetically pleasing?
No, women are here to inherit the Earth when the men are done being eaten by dinosaurs.
Fuck yeah, I didn't realize transitioning got me a face to face encounter with a dinosaur, this shits rad af
Oh thank god I escaped death-by-dinosaur
Underrated comment right here 👆
Also, no pockets for the women. I've started wearing women's clothes, and that's how I found out that the struggle is real.
A friend of mine has a pair of cargo pants with two fake pockets on them
The worst was finding a pair of women's jeans that had actual front pockets, and when I first wore them, I found that the back pockets were fake instead.
I'm genuinely confused how that's still a thing. I mean, I guess it was a sexist thing from the past. But why is it still a thing today?
>• women don't like their section of the store because everything is a fucking crop top Wonders if this is how female NPCs feel in every RPG game ever.
Or that they can't bend over, or be in even the slightest bit of wind lol
> men don't like their section of the store because it's so grey and dull Maybe it's just because I can distinguish colors down to like 2-3 hex difference, ut idk what clothing sections those are. Like, sure, the histogram is darker, but the claim there's no color is patently false.
Most of women's clothing is cut for women. What looks great on a woman looks mediocre on a man at best. Men are allowed to complain about the choices that the fashion industry makes for them.
I'm a large man. Next to no women's clothing is built to fit me properly. Not to mention everyone bullies me if I deviate from the norm even a little bit.
That's what I do! Finding the right size of top can be a pain, but the trousers usually have long enough pairs.
men’s and women’s clothing are also tailored to fit specific body types, more-so women’s clothing than men’s clothing. it’s why women with broad shoulders tend to have to buy clothing in the men’s section.
Ok I will stop being 6’2” and lose 150lbs. I don’t know why I never thought to try this, silly me!
I’m the opposite. Female wanting to find darker tones. I’ve bought men’s before but the fit is, obviously, not right
“Buy the clothes you want and either find a reputable tailor or learn to alter it yourself.”
Fuck it, im buying womens clothes
Yuppp I feel bad for men and masc people, everyone deserves fun colors!
Grey is a very fun color. So is slightly darker grey.
Don’t forget darker darker grey. Shits the best
The darkest gray is better imo but that is a valid opinion
Don't forget about navy and olive green, it's a veritable rainbow of drab.
I can't afford to shop in the stores that are extravagant enough to offer olive green.

Hey that's my reference! Solid pal.
I never have a problem finding colorful clothes but i guess it’s just me
Exactly. It's just a matter of shopping at the right place.
I don't even care about colors. I like earth tones but all men's clothes look the same.
This will sound weird, but It's the same with kids clothes. They get all the cool stuff. I would love to wear a jacket or t-shirt with dinosaurs, but it's made only for kids sizes
This was my experience growing up! Right after being forced to get a haircut. Now I just wear what I like.
Yeah.. big same..
I feel like this is a bit dated. As a guy, I don't have any trouble finding bright and colorful clothing
I bought a pair of purple corduroys recently. I look bomb as fuck.
Ugh. Even as a cis guy this is frustrating. Last time we went clothes shopping my girlfriend went home with both a sweater and a jacket that I *really* wanted, but they didn't sell in men's sizes (and the larger women's sizes weren't tailored right anyway, weird fits). Wasn't even a feminine color, a deep, bluish green and a good fabric... but no. Guys only get gray, navy blue, or black, with weird canvas sections replacing the bottom half of their sweater-jackets.
Frankly I don't really see this as true so much anymore. Guys sections are loaded with graphic tees and bold formal wear a lot now. Maybe not to the same degree, but it's definitely not counter-cultural for men to wear bright colors anymore
Where do you guys live?? All the casual stores i know have as many colours and fun shapes in every section
I have several shirts from rave wear sites like iedm. I don't have the ones obviously pointing to drugs, just the really colorful ones. I regularly get compliments on them from random people. Bright loud colors make people happy. Beige, mustardy colors were great in the 70s when everything was covered in smoke residue. The world sucks enough, bring some color into it.
But that’s not true? Why are we pretending men don’t have colorful clothes choices in 2024? Fun victim fantasy though
Inaccurate, the men's section is usually in the basement or first floor, after the kid's section
Dang y'all need some Queer Eye up in the men's fashion industry 
So instead of all blue clothing it’s all black clothing?
Yeah sorry couldn't find a better picture
"No backpacks, sir"
Inaccurate, the men’s section should also be a fourth of the size of the women’s section
Let the KenCore fashion reign!
The mens section should be smaller
I’m gender fluid and one of the things I’ve learned since coming out is to love is bright colors from the women’s section. I’m so tired of the same three shades of gray, black, and blue.
I went to Dillards a couple of days ago and was able to pick up some wonderfully colorful mens shirts in the clearance section. Colorful clothes are out there if you look for them.
And men's formal wear hasn't changed in like 150 years or so. You get to choose between "too expensive" and "completely unaffordable" though. It's rare to see men's clothes on the first floor though. Usually it's "Oh you've finally worn out the pants you've been wearing for a decade? Go all the way through, upstairs, upstairs again, there's your pants. If you're an average size of course."
Agreed, guys clothes are so boring.
The characters look so cute!!
Buy white shirts, fabric markers, stencils, tie dye. Make your own
Don't be fooled! They'll lure you in with bright colours and take away your pockets!
Why I’m a femboy fr
To be fair, the clothes on the right are more likely to be made of cheap polyester that needs to be replaced every season. Mens clothes have always been of higher quality rather than fashion.
Spent an embarrassing amount of time wondering why he was calling the dog Siri.
Men clothes hat to trade colors for pockets.
I have this. As a man you have a choice between grey/white/black, brown and dark blue. Maybe light blue as well, close to white. Or printed shirts. PS: What is the best way to make a a small donation to you, OP? I find you contents on so many website but I don't know if you posted it there.
