Kids clothes. I don't fit in them (am late 30s 140lb woman) and I don't try to, but I find myself always drawn to the kids clothing sections because of their bright patterns and prints. I have very basic sewing skills and I've been tempted to take a course on clothes making so I can recreate these in my size. I fuckin love bright colors and silly accessories.

Dude, fuckin do it. Sewing is super simple, they sell patterns where you just cut out the paper template to the clothing size you are making, then you pin it to fabric, trace the outline and cut along those lines, then sew it together along the edges. For basic clothes i think anyone could get it first try with a ten minutes on youtube of how to use a seeing machine. Then you can literally make whatever type of clothes you want, from whatever fabric you can find, super rewarding too.
