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?

    As a man I can assure you we have the same problem. I have garments with a 30" waist that fit the same as a 34" waist. And I have pants with a 29" inseam that go past my feet and 32" inseam that don’t.

      Exactly. Even sizes that represent an actual physical measurement after pretty much made up numbers.

      I have 4 or 5 Levi’s 501s. All the exact same size, but the fit differs wildly. Two of them I bought at the same time, just in different colors and they’re like two different models.

      Sweaters are just as bad. I’m a taller guy (1,90m), and it’s almost impossible to find a sweater (or any other upper body garment for that matter) that has proper torso length, sleeve length and width at all relevant places. If I find a sweater that’s long enough in all dimensions and doesn’t feel like a straight jacket around the chest, it’s so wide around the stomach, that I could easily hide a watermelon.

      It’s like the fashion industry assumes, that humans can’t be tall and not fat.
