I need new clothes but every time I go out 95% of what I see on offer is so bog-standard male. Solid earth tones, baggy one-size-fits-all, muted colors, work-wear adjacent, etc.
It’s so hard to find stuff that’s more, I dunno, “playful?” I’d like to have some clothes are that more of an expression of my personality but almost never do I see more unusual, expressive, colorful stuff in the brick-and-mortar stores.
To compound this, I’d also like it to:
- not cost me an arm and a leg
- be interesting but not clownish/overly ironic/jokey
This has mostly led me to buying floral shirts but a man cannot live on floral shirts alone! Does anyone know of retailers that might fit the bill?
Women get some really cool ski and backpack designs, too. One time they had skis with cactuses and coyotes on them but said they were for women. The men’s version was like…flat black or some bullshit like that.
At this point, I’m starting to just say fuck it, I’m buying the cooler design unless there’s some actual reason why there’s a gendered difference (such as boob space or muscle layout differences).
