Every single piece of clothing is gender neutral if you aren't a wuss.

Rayspekt,

Maybe by concept, but not by fit.

Take it to a tailor

Rayspekt,

I don't know how the tailor will expand the waist of the bodycon dress that I bought for my manly silhoutte. Is this like coming out of the GTA barber with more hair than before?

I thought that’s how it works :D

Sure but no one can fit in to every article of clothing out there, that was never going to be an option. I'm just saying that in any particular style, you can find things that fit your body type. And more importantly, no one should let a silly thing like genitals keep them from pants and dresses.

surewhynotlem,

Speak for yourself. With my ass, I need some curvy fit jeans.

Gramps wore it better

Denvil,

He’s got the additional sunglasses and beanie. He wore it better and cooler.

Tell me this is a series.

Pons_Aelius, in Your Sweaters Are Garbage: The quality of knitwear has cratered. Even expensive sweaters have lost their hefty, lush glory.

A $3,200 Gucci “wool cardigan,” for example, is actually half polyamide when you read the fine print.

You are not paying for the materials, you are paying for the label.

Fashion, by its very nature, is designed for you to constantly buy and discard clothes, not because you need to but to stay fashionable.

I’d narrow the blame to fast fashion, which started in the late 1990s. Fashion in general has been with us since ancient times.

Pons_Aelius,

I have to disagree.

The yearly style thing has been around since the beginning of the 20th century.

The constant churning of styles via yearly fashion shows has been going on all that time.

Fast fashion started as cheap copies made quickly to mimic the latest Paris/London/Milan/NY/Sydney Fashion shows by no name brands.

Fast fashion is a newish symptom, not the cause.

Good points 👍

qdJzXuisAndVQb2,

This is obscene. I don’t have the money to look at these labels, but I had alwqys assumed you got a nice, but incredibly overpriced, product. It now seems like you just get the overpriced part. That’s ridiculous. How long can luxury brands survive purely coasting off their historical cachet?

Pons_Aelius,

Luxury brands (Eg: Anything owned by LVMH ) have not been about quality for decades.

What they are for is taking money from people who are not rich, most often up to their eyeballs in debt, so they can cosplay to others that they are.

If you want quality woollen sweaters. Look for someone selling 100% Merino wool. It may be a few hundred dollars but it will last for years.

they're basically exit scamming their brands. apparently this is a cycle that happens a lot. brand starts out nice in fancy shops, they water it down a little, they water it down a lot and now it's at walmart, and then they discontinue the brand name, having exausted it

I haven’t jumped on the wool sock thing yet that everyone goes on about, but I tried wool blankets on the bed last year and it was amazing. For much less thickness than a synthetic filled comforter, I felt as warm or warmer, but it never got that trapped heat muggy feeling when you get too hot. The too hot just didn’t happen anymore. The thermoregulation was just perfect for me.

Makes sense now why sheep are covered with wool and not polyfill 😁

PS, I’m talking simple $20 milsurp type blankets, not these fancy $100 to $1000 things I see promoted now and then.

It was a massive pain but I am very happy everything i crocheted for my kids has been wool.

Marino wool socks and other garments is such a change from when I was a child where wool meant itchy fabric. Love my socks for winter and sports.

My fleece is perfectly adequate, lasted me ten years, and cost $50. This seems like a pretty bougie problem.

If anyone wants to try this you’ll probably get a better result that lasts longer with an oil based paint pen :)

I want a flipped version for the sundress cottagecore flower boy boyfriends and the edgy techwear girlfriends

I wish I could get away with wearing whatever I want but I work in construction so shit gets ruined almost immediately on the job. I love the dudes plaid pants.

Jilanico,
@Jilanico@lemmy.world avatar

Have you seen what construction workers in Japan wear? It’s a subculture with their own style: baggy knickerbockers and jika tabi boots.

Anyways, maybe you can experiment with fashion when you’re not on the job 👍

As a textile geek I’ve been watching this happen for years. I bought some underpants and liked them so bought another package. The bag had a different design but I thought nothing of it. When I opened the new bag the cloth felt rougher and way flimsier. I actually weighed them and the new ones were 1 gram less than the ones I liked. Immediately noticeable.

Enshittification of the clothes on your back has been in full swing for a while.

This is brilliant.

    You really should read wikipedia about microplastics.

    Exactly what I’m talking about.

    It’s the same bottle but with different colored drink mix in it. Holy shit. Literally a kindergartener would be able to understand this.
