What part of clothe shopping annoys you most? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As a 6'2 man the clothes I find which are right for my height are often very loose on me. And if I worry about the waist I look like a kid who grew a lot in the past 2 months and everything is too short for me.

Its not entirely universal, some stores are better than others. And I wear a lot of loose casual t-shirts so thats fine too. But finding dress shirts means some places work, some don't.

It's hard for men. Big stores that just squeeze in a small section in the back for men. Trying 3 different items: one's too big, one's too tight, but they're all the same size.

This. Everywhere I go it's like 1:5 men's to women's and the only fashion styles you can pick from are "my church let's us dress casual", "9-5 at the law office", or "I cosplay as a meth dealer"

Lol. Thanks for typing this. As a woman, I always had a similar appreciation of most menswear but couldn't really articulate what was about it that made it feel so off.

There are a few places where there is nice mens clothing but it's usually ridiculously expensive.

Honestly, I've long since given up on finding a Cardigan for less than $100 outside the women's section. Fortunately I've never been above wearing women's clothing.

I'm a lady but once I went to Target for clothes and came back with 4 bottoms all the same dimensions but the sizes were 4, 5, 7 and 9. All of those were the same size somehow.
