Bring back capes. I want a big fur cloak in the winter.

As an almost 50yo dad in decent shape my options for casual wear are limited. If I start dressing more trendy I look like I'm trying to be young. If I dress too comfortable I look like I'm giving up. Pretty much the only thing we can get away with is jeans and a black or white t-shirt. Or some non descript shirt. Buying shorts is maddening because cargo shorts are "out" and everything else is too "cool". Everything ends up being boring.

I've resorted to buying better quality because it at least makes me feel I'm trying. But it's still just ... boring.

kilts would be nice. I like the fresh breeze.

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?

Bye bye ties!

I'd change everything! Women's fashion has so many different sewing techniques and styles - maybe 10% of those are in men's fashion. Give men lettuce hems and dropped waists! Princess seams and tulip sleeves! Make fashion unisex!

Stop gendering fashion.

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

I would drape myself in velvet, if it was socially acceptable @ElectroVagrant

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.

Hats. It used to be that people wouldn't be seen dead outside without a hat but these days, unless you're a big fan of baseball hats, your options are sorely limited.

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

Variation and color. I have the choice.of three minutely different collars and it can be black, blue, or gray. I want tangerine, asymmetric, with an ascot.

Skirts! I want my legs to be free!

Bring back baggy pants... cuz stretch jeans are not for men, period.

Something that’s inexpensive, comfortable, and socially acceptable. I could not give a fuck less what it looks like. I don’t think a $5k suit shows that I know what I am doing; in fact, it suggests the opposite. Someone that purchases a $5k suit is bad with money. I’m not.

Normalize patterns, stoning, sequins, and non-functional accessories; normalize wrap around single legged bottoms of all kinds.... I'm genderqueer so neither side of gendered clothing styles suits me ideally, so I mix them, but I'm not especially feminine, so I'd like to find like, thick flat black skirts, shawls, and all kinds of feminized items in more masculine styles, and of course the opposite for femme leaning enbies and varieties for any other potential aesthetic.

I think we should just take all the styles we have, mix them in the languages and symbols of any gendered styles we can, so everybody can wear any items they like best in styles they most appreciate aesthetically.

Robes, or whatever it is that Olgeird wears in The Witcher. Those would look fresh as hell and it would be nice to have an outfit to throw on like a dress.

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.

make early final fantasy fashion more normal

No more tucking your shirt in. That shits uncomfortable af

I want to go to work wearing cozy robes that give big buffs to intellect, haste, and mastery that give off a vibe of 10,000 souls of the dammed are sewn into the threads. You know, dress for the job you want. I guess cloaks would be a reasonable start since raid gear may be a bit of an inconvenience in the office.

Propeller beanies as formal and business attire.

No ties, no shirts, nothing in that fashion that is even close to formal

An underwear with hollow threads. With an option to pass liquid CO2 through them. Totally fucking chilling underpants.

Programming will be fun in hot weather. Very few people understand the thermodynamic of chair fusion and underwear fabric.

And running half marathon would also be nice in them.

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.

We should bring back codpieces and flamboyant colored pantaloons, frills, and velvet jackets, at least in winter. Summer thong & codpiece would be fine.

I'd like to see people give less of a shit what other men wear.

Fashion might be the most consumerist addiction we have in the world and fast fashion is wreaking terrible damage. Any creativity is lost to brand addiction and trend chasing. Don't even get me started on advertising!

Clothes serve a utility, but fashion is the capitalisation of envy and materisalism. Wear monochrome if you want. Wear pink if you want. Just don't kill the planet in the name of "fashion".

Let me dress in cool trench coats without looking like some kind of creep. That and capes too.
