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.
My frustration is that when I go to malls, it's all brand name shit that's ugly af.
Oh, yeah, these days you pretty much have to hunt down weird little boutique internet places, or haunt clothing exchange sites, or literally know a tailor who can do alterations. Fast fashion has been ruinous to the cause of looking good looking good.
With all the department stores going out of business, I have no idea where to look for stuff that looks different. Online shopping seems like a hit or miss.
I'll order random shit from Ali-Express, but frequently the quality is damn terrible.
