Can I add "men's fashion is painfully boring and expensive compared to the endless variety of cheap, interesting clothing available to women"? It's a small, small thing compared to these but man how it bugs me. And the US is even worse than Europe in this regard.
- waqf 16y agoIsn't it all nylon or polyester, though? I bet it's less comfortable and possibly less durable than you imagine. Durable, of course, directly mitigates against cheap.
- lsc 16y agohuh. Boring, okay, I'll give you that; but expensive? I always thought that the lack of change in men's fashion was an advantage. I have a bunch of generic brand levis 510s that I bought at costco for $20 each during the .com boom that I still wear- I mean, I wear them while running wires through crawlspaces and, heh, lifting heavy servers (the costco store brand, generally speaking, is very high quality) I bought a bunch of "calvin Klein" brand jeans at the same time and they lasted about two years of the same usage patterns. (those were a bit more baggy, and almost all of them suffered catastrophic failures while I was lifting something. I hear a 'riip' and suddenly I feel, uh, much better ventilated. Embarrassing, and requires a trip home for new pants.
