2 in 5 men regularly wear women’s fashion

[Stevej180]

I was quite please to see this article today, and encouraged by the way it started, then disappointed as it ended up talking just about drag. They didn't explore the 18% of respondents who wear 'women's clothers' just because they like the way they feel.

5 in 5 women wear mens fashion daily

The question in the article was defining "why are they?" When it should be "why aren't they?"

[STEVIE]

So 40% of the men in the survey say they regularly wear female/women's fashion, interesting statistic.
Barleymower, says 100% of women wear men's fashion regularly, also fascinating!
Men's fashion equals tops, trousers and footwear in a limited colour palette.
On the other hand, women's fashion has skirts, dresses and trousers in an unlimited palette plus absolute unbridled choice from the men's offer.
The brave 40% are not talking about donning skirts and dresses, only that they may expand their selection by crossing the aisle.
For the whole female population wearing guy clothes, it really doesn't matter.
Maybe right, or wildly exaggerated, but it is so well established that I doubt anyone checks, records or is even remotely interested.

5 in 5 women wear mens fashion daily

Just look at those articles being put on the internet telling women how to wear a shirt that is suppose to be worn by men. How the average male shirt is a mini dress for a woman.

I agree with you 5 in 5 wears men's fashion.

But you want find articles telling men how to wear a shirt dress. If you want ideals just have to look it up as being a woman. How about wearing a shirt dress just like men wore their work shirt in the 16th century, folding the tail in pants just like Tasha B did.

How about wearing a shirt dress just unbutton and with a camisole or without?

Yep. I'm guessing that % is significantly represented by those who wear unmentionables, maybe earrings or socks or women's jeans - basically stuff that flies under the radar and isn't super obvious. I've seen more complaints in clothing reviews about "men who have rhinestones on their jeans" than any other type of complaint... so I bet a good number of them are buying women's jeans.

Those men wearing women's clothing are wearing women's jeans because they are cut to human proportions not a box like men's cut jeans.

Interesting study. Especially the ~60% in 25-35 year olds, the younger ones have yet to find the courage and that this groups is so big is very good for the proliferation.

Even if its just womens jeans its a step in the right direction.

How do yo classified garments employees required to wear with their logo? Do you classified them as women's or men's garments? Putting this into proper prospective man can say company is making him wear women's garment in order to have a job.
Today men and women are buying same name brand shirts that is sold as unisex clothing. One man can see it as men's clothing, as another sees it as women's clothing. By that I take this article lightly.
Who has the right to determine what is men's wear and women's wear? There are those that claims all skirts are women clothing including the kilt. Over time clothes is constantly being change what is male and what is female. As some clothes is considered none gender at one age, but becomes gendered when the individual gets older. Then that individual becomes wrong sex to wear certain clothing. Take dresses for instant it was men's attire and toddler attire, but was faze out over time. During through this transformation man would preach men can't wear dress and women can't wear pants, while he has a new infant son in a dress. And he had a work shirt that was also his nightshirt (nightgown) that wasn't construed being a dress. The modern man is curse if he wears anything like that today. Those mothers who put dresses on their infant sons that is still alive curses men if they are wearing a dress, but would tell each other how cute their son look in a dress as a toddler.
What is fashionable for men and women is constantly changing and fashion experts don't agree what is most fashionable for them.

People opinions is constantly changing what is men's wear and what is women's wear. And some people can have two different opinions simultaneously on same subject. The criteria that was used is unknown in this survey and should be taken lightly.

..and I have a robe that I wear round the house before and after showering. If it wasn't in heavy towelling fabric it would be called a dress

[Modoc]

I wear skirts , dresses, and leggings, and if someone were to ask me if they were women's clothes at the time, my answer would be "no". And if they challenged me, I would launch into a full-scale argument about why whatever I was wearing was not women's clothing.

[robehickman]

given how common bathrobes are, a lot of men are regularly wearing 'dresses' without clocking it. Since I've been learning how to pattern draft, the pattern of a robe and a dress are essentially the same, dresses are often more fitted in the bodice with fuller skirts.

The general public seems to enjoy making 'pointless semantic arguments'-

No "seem to" about it RH, society thrives on it while making itself damn miserable all at the same time.

The difference in fabric makes it easy to make the distinction.

Consider all the semantic arguments women makes of men. Women complain about men not knowing how to shop in buying fashion clothes for them, but they won't teach their sons how to shop fashion clothes for women. They don't get prepared in having a wife and daughters when it comes to shopping for clothes for them. It is not uncommon in seeing women in stores after Christmas in returning garments men bought for them and getting an garment they truly like that is their fashion.
Clothes are made to exploit certain features of human body, more so to exploit women bodies. Having a low cut top or shear top to exploit the chest area. Women loves buying clothes that shows off their chest and other features of their body. Heaven forbid in men of wearing same attire to show off his sexy chest, legs, and other parts of his human body. Women claims they love showing off their male's body. Women makes these statements but won't have their men wearing a matching shirt or blouse showing off their chest or their backs that match them, or skirts or dresses that shows off their sexy legs in same manner, meaning like from thighs to toes showing full sexy men's legs. Least of all is seeing women executives in fashion industries in pushing for men in wearing dresses and skirts and exploiting their sexuality just like women, but having no problem exploiting their peers while refusing to be equal and exploit men in same fashion. But women complain how they are not treated as equals but refuse to treat men men in full equalities.

Mr S. It's not unreasonable what you are saying, it does happen but women are not to blame! If you get down to the grass roots of it, religion has a massive part to play in our attitudes. Christians, Jewish and Muslims all see any gender non conformity as unnatural. The prejudices we experience now are all hangovers from when anything unnatural was, and still is in a lot places, dealt with severely.

Yes women do all the things you say and they can hit the roof when a man does the same with cries of pervert etc. It's not fair I know but they are behaving as they have been taught to behave.

What do we do about? We fight back. Not by getting angry because will just make things worse. Instead we take the lead as men and we say "I'm wearing this skirt because I like it".
