Not fashion necessarily, but materials. Everything is 15%+ polyester now, which I absolutely despise. I don't care how stretchy it is, I don't want to wear sweaty fossil fuel derivatives that wear out twice as fast.

Jokes on you, everyone on lemmy are males, so you can just use [email protected] But hopefully that changes eventually! Crosspost questions for men from there to here!
Ask any question and ideally only males answer the question. Females can answer too, but ideally you state that you're not a male.

I'd definitely include materials in fashion, hence my mention of women's sheer/thinner clothing. Similar awkward materials issues for both, albeit in different ways!
Skirts and dresses being normalized. Softer fabrics. Less emphasis on oversized everything.
More varied sizes. I'm a tall guy who is also fat. But I'm not so fat as the clothes in my sizes think I am.
I'm a short skinny guy and have the same problem!
I'm a tall skinny guy and I have the same problem. Want a shirt that fits around the middle? Hope you like bellybutton shirts. Want a shirt that fits across the shoulders? Hope you like wearing a giant shapeless bag.
I'm mildly overweight, I'm slimming down, I've lost about 8kg in the last 2 months, just another 5 to go for where I want to be.
If I could change anything about men's fashion, it would be more leg lengths per waist size. I'm about 182cm tall, and my waist is about 91cm, my legs are actually pretty short....but not super short. I can get a 79cm leg, or a 71cm leg. 79 is too long, 71 too short. It's fuckin frustrating. I just want my trousers to fuckin fit properly......
Edit: Phone autoassumed leg to left....and they say AI is going to take over the world....

Congratz! You're doing a bit better than me. I'm down 14 kg in 4 month. Still 30 kg left to reach my goal of 110 kg.
We got this, bud! 14kg in 4 months ain't nothing to thumb your nose at.
Just keep at it!
More varied sizes indeed - I've got a 48" chest and a 36" waist with a 30" leg. Nothing fits properly.
Bolder brighter colors.
This. I'm so done with black, blue and teal.
Just more variety. Women have so many options for different styles and fits. Obviously nothing's stopping me from wearing whatever I want, but I'm not bold enough to lead that charge. I'd like more mainstream choices.
What would you like to eventually wear once the bold men make it mainstream?
I don't know! I'm a trend follower that's my whole problem.
Two things I would do away with: animal cruelty and gendered fashion.
I need more stretchy jeans. A gusseted crotch would help a tonne as well. If you have thick legs you'll just blow em out in a matter if months and you're outta luck if you prefer fitted legwear.
My understanding of it. Currently it's zero and I could use some help. Apparently cargo shorts and tee shirts aren't it.
Says who? If thats true then I've misunderstood something too. Wore that in my 20s. Nowadays I prefer chinos and overshirts.
Decorations on jeans. Women have them, but for men it's like it's not fashion but workwear. Overall menswear is too boring and 'safe' until hitting the upper stratosphere of designer wear, there's scant choice of patterns, shape, or materials - I'll find something that hits the nail on the head for one maybe, never all three. It's been many years since I bought something I love.
Sorry, it was a serious question... maybe no fashion would be best?Nudism, the final fashion choice.
Make Crocs acceptable to wear at all times. Is that really too much to ask?
I saw a guy wearing bright blue ones covered in charms not long ago while out for dinner at one of the top 100 places in the country and thought "ya, that guy looks comfy af, I bet he's loving this meal" and wanted to feel that way.
Be the change you want to see in the world :)
I'm working on it. My SO has thoughts about the plan. We're working on those too.
Making a 27" inseam on a 32" waist standard.
I made another comment, hadn't scrolled far enough to see yours. I'm a 38" waist, my options for leg are 31" or 28" my leg is like 29.75".....
I mean just hem it at that point. This is something that's easy to fix by yourself.
I leave the house at 4.50am, and I don't get home from work until 8.30pm. I literally have no time to hem my trousers.
Besides, the question was what would you change, that's what I would change.
Please. Just need lower inseams. I'm 6' and even a 30" looks baggy on me, but all I can find are 32" and over, lucky if I find a 30".
Thin fabrics and skirts
Everyone wears the same thing, and it's something comfortable like a track suit. The less fashion that exists the better, both for the practicality and for the environment.
