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?

More variety for formal wear. I hate that women get to express themselves more elaborately and I get to pick what color my tie is.

Don’t forget you get to pick socks and dress shirt.

If you’re really lucky, they might throw in a vest…With a subtle design! But honestly, I can see where you’re coming from.

You beat me to it! More colour, more designs, more accessories. I like wearing a suit, but women just have so many more fun designs.

I will admit sometimes it’s nice knowing what’s expected.

Why is something expected in the first place?

The whole assumption that a person is more professional because they chose the professional uniform is absolutely stupid. If Donald Trump, Hitler, MLK, Putin, and your friendly neighborhood lawyer wear the same outfit, then that outfit says nothing.

Not really, it says those are people you should take seriously, which, depending on context, is true.

Underrated? It’s my favorite part! An Indian friend of mine got married 10 years ago. I still have very fond memories of it! It was beautiful and so much fun!

I’d love to see men have more freedom to personalise their fashion with colour and cut. As it is, men’s fashion tends to be cookie cutter with the odd personal flourish, and it should be more than that

I’d agree but I was at a wedding this summer and one guy wore a romper, so I’m no longer sure we should be trusted with that much fashion freedom.

Really though, isn’t this kind of the overpowered win over women’s fashion? They may not be “cool” but they maximize pockets while letting you stay cool.

I don’t care if they are cool or not. I’m wearing them. I’m married and have kids, cool means nothing to me.

They’re cool. I’m not sure how I’d carry modern massive phones without cargo pockets.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Cargo pants are great. They carry my CARGO. Best thing to make the leap from military to civilian clothing in the last thirty years.

What do you put in your cargo pockets normally?

Asking bc I always found them super uncomfortable, esp if I use those pockets for anything with a little weight. Even something like a kids pacifier would annoy me rubbing against my thigh/knee so I realize they’re just not for me but just curious

Can’t stand them personally either. Decided to start wearing shorts that stop above my knee and I’m so much more comfortable and look a lot nicer too. Wife loves them. Nothing else really matters.

Cargo pants are back in a pretty big way, as we go into hotter months cargo shorts are definitely following!
