Clothes for dudes basically comes down to t-shirts and trousers. And for shirts, one’s mostly limited to brands, bands, and sports teams. Or, even fucking worse, some pithy comment like “not married and happy”, or “have drink, me good”, or whatever the feck people find clever these days. I oftentimes default to the H&M look, as it’s the least corny looking style I see, and that’s not saying much.
Women’s clothes have all these cute tops with no shit written on it. There’s more variation in colours and shape. You can mix it up by having a half top (whatever you call those). Don’t want to wear a top and trousers that day, then wear a dress or a skirt.
Obviously the huge advantage of being a guy is that you can be ugly af, indeed I am an ugly fecking dude, and you’re accepted. I assume it’s harder for women in this regard, let me know if I’m wrong.
Listen they don’t want you to know this but you can just buy women’s clothes. No one’s stopping you. They aren’t going to ask you for a doctor’s note or your estrogen prescription.
Of course, finding women’s clothes that fits us can be pretty hard, just as it is even for cis women who aren’t shaped like an “average” woman.
Skirts are nice though, and they used to be men’s clothes anyway
Worker in the women’s clothing section of the mall: “sorry, you need to submit to a medical check before you buy that cute top”
Surprisingly gender conservative clothes seller: “Sorry but if you were ‘straight’, you wouldn’t be buying any clothes. You’d be mowing the lawn and watching football. You have been sentenced to a ten hour documentary series on MMA for your crimes.”
that documentary? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DoaUyMGPWI
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
That said if you do have a girlfriend you can shop together pretending your looking for her, but actually for you, giving the experience of a frisson of excitement from it’s conspiratorial nature. Plus other people nearby just think you’re a good partner.
How thorough is this check? 🥴
Yeah I always enjoy the anecdote about how the ancient Greeks considered the Persians uncivilised because they liked to wear trousers. Greek chads meanwhile going into battle in like your classic white pleated miniskirt to show off super bronzed thighs and like a super cute little linen bodice omg just like so fashion uhuh
HUGE support to the middle aged man looking at women’s shoes next to me the very first time I went out in public in fem clothes.
