Lil’ cross-post from Lemmy.ca.

With women’s fashion, it’s an easy one with pockets and for some probably less sheer/thin or tight-fitting clothing depending on their preferences, but for men…?

What would you like to see done differently in men’s fashion?

    I’m not a dude, but I think guys should embrace the purse( or manbag if you prefer). I love carrying all my shit with me.

      We’ve been that way in UK for a while now! It’s very common in Europe too. People of all genders carry tote bags or wear cross body bags!

      Hmm, I feel like the unisex backpack/slingbag may be what more folks are converging on. Purses increasingly only make sense for formal occasions, imo. Regardless, whatever one calls them, I tend to agree!

      Plus, if cargo pants are so loathed, only makes sense to make some kinda bag to lug odds & ends the norm.

        I bought a sling backpack a few years ago and love it. I wanted to carry my keys, phone charger, wallet, cell phone, extra batteries for my hearing aid, band-aids, tissues, etc, but pockets only give you so much storage. Cram them full of too much stuff and they tend to bulge in very unsightly ways.

        With my sling, I can carry everything I need without stuffing my pockets. It’s very convenient.

        The only downside is that my wife insists on calling it my “purse.” Why can’t men carry around a bag to contain things? Women get purses. Why are men confined to whatever we can cram into our pockets?

          Do you have a slingbag you recommend? I saw someone mention one either here or in one of the cross-posts of this but it was a way pricy brand.

        My guy, have you tried carrying a power bank in the leg pocket of your cargos?! It is far less comfortable than having it in a cross body bag or fanny pack

          Power bank as in a portable battery for charging your phone? If so yes, the only problem is that if I dont have a belt it will start pulling my pants down. If you mean something larger than a 7 inch x 3 inch black brick then I would probably just not keep it on my person.
