I seriously couldn’t live without cargo pants. At any given time, I’ll have at least 4 pockets filled with random stuff. But no pockets? How do you even survive?

    Why don’t women just buy men’s clothes to wear? I don’t see any social stigma against it. Honestly I don’t understand why clothes are still gendered. It’s 2023, just wear whatever clothes is most useful to you.

        Men are generally larger in size so it’s harder to fit clothes designed for Women, who are smaller on average. Women on average are not as big as the average man, so shouldn’t women be able to fit men’s clothing?

        Sorry if I’m being ignorant.

          Women are smaller, but they tend to have relatively bigger bottoms. The shape of men’s pants just doesn’t work.

            exactly. some women have extreme hip to waist ratio and straight cut jeans will just look baggy, odd, or just generally said: They won’t fit at all.

      Mens pants have the crotch cut too low for me. So to step over something I have to do a wide legged cowboy walk and swing my leg over. Shit’s weird.

        I’m a dude but I’ve noticed that this depends on the brand. Some have the crotch like 3-4cm lower than others even for the same “size”. I’ve also had to do this cowboy walk in some pants…

        The ones with the higher crotch are less comfortable for men (for obvious reasons), but it does make it possible to do ballet-like leg movements instead of having to do the cowboy walk. So they do exist if you look for them

        The bigger issue will probably be the hips to legs ratio being different
