Clothes for dudes basically comes down to t-shirts and trousers. And for shirts, one's mostly limited to brands, bands, and sports teams. Or, even fucking worse, some pithy comment like "not married and happy", or "have drink, me good", or whatever the feck people find clever these days. I oftentimes default to the H&M look, as it's the least corny looking style I see, and that's not saying much.

Women's clothes have all these cute tops with no shit written on it. There's more variation in colours and shape. You can mix it up by having a half top (whatever you call those). Don't want to wear a top and trousers that day, then wear a dress or a skirt.

Obviously the huge advantage of being a guy is that you can be ugly af, indeed I am an ugly fecking dude, and you're accepted. I assume it's harder for women in this regard, let me know if I'm wrong.

    Mens summer fashion is very plain, but there's a lot you can do with layering in winter. And you can wear different fits of trouser and t shirt. Flared or pleated trousers, ringer t shirts, etc.

    This is an open call to all men, buy yourself a pair of well fitted non stretch denim straight leg jeans. A secondhand pair of levis. They are fucking everywhere. They will go for less than £20. They will last you many years. They will make you not look like a tool (sorry modern communists, you have the worst dress sense). They will make any t shirt you wear with it look somewhat styled.

      Jeans are borign, though. Like yeah, sometimes they make your butt look good, but omg they are so boring. I've been getting high end work cargos with fancy technical fabrics and tapering the legs to give them some shape and it gives the look some actual details. Idk, just, ugh, jeans.
