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?

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!
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?
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
More varied formalwear than “suit with some superficial variations” (tux, 2- or 3-piece, colors, tie variety). Broader range of styles.
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.
skirts
No more tucking your shirt in. That shits uncomfortable af
Some form of medium sized bag that wouldn’t attract the “handbag” stigma. I use a laptop bag due to the amount of stuff I carry with me but it is a bit too big.
The Peak Design Everyday Sling might be for you.
That bag is perfect, especially if you use the capture clip.
I have a couple slings that i really like for this
Honestly, give me a purse. For utility, a wallet simply doesn’t compare.
actual skirts and dresses being a common piece of clothing for men. I love how they look and feel
Propeller beanies as formal and business attire.
I know it is not your question but… Everyone says pockets for women’s fashion but that is not the most important. At least here in the US the most important is having proper sizes on clothes.
For the most part men’s clothes let you pick things right. You know your waist and inseam for pants, and often have a proper size for shirts and collars.
Women’s fashion often has no size other than the ambiguous s/m/l/xl indicator and teen/woman’s/plus often use the same tag to indicate wildly different sizes. On top of that, when close use a measurement it is not grounded in reality, so a 14 at one shop may be a 16 at another, and neither are a direct measure of your waist. Finally women’s pants only come in 3 lengths (petite, tall, or not specified) and it is difficult to find most combinations.
The best thing we could do for fashion in any sex is to standardize sizes globally and make them all based on a tape measure measurement. That way you could buy 32x30 pants online knowing they will fit, no matter the brand.
Honestly, yeah, size standardization in some form would help so, so much. It’s such a pain trying to figure out whether something will fit, even when it says it’s the same size as another garment, like you say, 14 at one shop or even in one brand and 16 in another.
Both genders have the same problem. Women get underwear in exact sizing, along with tops that usually are exact. Men get exact sizing in pants and button up shirts. Women do have the same problem with sizing of pants and dresses, but women also have a vastly larger selection. Go look at how many stores sell only to women. Then go look at the stores that sell to both but then have a women’s section that is 5-10x the size of the men’s section.
We should bring back codpieces and flamboyant colored pantaloons, frills, and velvet jackets, at least in winter. Summer thong & codpiece would be fine.
No more gendering anything.
