When I was still 'rocking' "men's" fashion, the ads were much simpler.

"Luxury watches. Now for luxury men, only €999."

The fashion though, was also notably shittier in that it's dim. Take women's fashion, remove all the interesting patterns and curves and swirls. Change the colourfulness until it's best described as "depressed pastel trying to be cheerful".

Sweaters and trousers, maybe a scarf if you're feeling avocado toasty.

There you go, that's 99% of "men's" fashion. Thank fuck I moved on from that and realised, why be bound by that? I now shop in whatever I like. If it's women's or men's or a genderfuck, idc, if I like it I like it. :3

Being a woman in that regard liberated me, tbh. I feel men's fashion could use some spruce up, too! skirts for men, swirls and curves, all fun stuff.

In my opinion, the whole ass categorisation in "men's" and "women's" fashion is pointless, especially since sizes vary even between companies. It's handier to just have categories for sizes and fabric, that also helps in finding what to wash with what.

    Men's color palettes are awful. I can't count the number of times I've read menswear advice that tells readers to wear colors from nature, and then pretends that flowers, sunsets, and rainbows don't exist.

    Colors are good I like colors.

    Looking out of the board room window: see grey parking lots, black railings, white cars, a single patch of green and brown trees, all under a hazy, pale blue sky.

    Board members turn to each other: "Yes, these are nature colors."

    And then they forget to look at other perspectives:

    a red dawn,
    the orange rise, the yellow light,
    a green grass
    bluish water and sky
    purple flowers

    white clouds and black panthers

    nature is so much more colourful and unique than one might expect, and that's the beauty of it.

    I think I could be into men if they paid more attention to their manner of dress. I find they're usually quite colourless and plain, and that's just not attractive to me.
