![]() ![]() Skirts are also being embraced by all genders, and labels like Chopova Lowena are styling them on men, women, and nonbinary folks. Dion Lee, Telfar, and Ludovic de Saint Sernin all do unisex clothes that are well cut and can lean toward a more masculine or feminine aesthetic, depending on the wearer. On a larger scale, brands are also designing with a more genderless consumer in mind. Online retailers like Ssense or Farfetch also feature the same products in both their men’s and women’s tabs, allowing consumers to freely shop between the two. Physical retail stores like Dover Street Market and Browns East are now rethinking their layouts and de-gendering their floor spaces, organizing products by brand or color versus sex. Accessories too are always a surefire bet, and they’re an easy way to dip your toes into the idea of genderless dressing.Īs this shift is happening industry-wide, these hurdles may get smaller with time. But on the whole buying women’s tops and coats has been a total breeze. Women’s pants, for instance, may fit the waist but have a smaller crotch area and often are a no-go as a result. Another hurdle? Even when the clothes do fit, they often don’t fit fit. (Turns out I’m roughly a 12.) I’ve learned men’s shoes are always 1.5 sizes bigger than women’s-meaning my men’s 10 is actually a women’s 11.5. ![]() It took me a lot of trying and experimenting to determine my women’s size. Sadly, there is no handy conversion chart to determine this (though someone should make this!). For one, the sizing is all very different: I’ve had to quickly learn what my waist and top sizes translate into women’s sizes. Widening my gender shopping scope hasn’t come without its hurdles, however. In the process, I’ve fallen in love with fashion all over again. I decided a few months ago that I would finally have my hot girl summer-as in, I’m finally ready to shop in the women’s section. Seeing stars like Lil Nas X, Kid Cudi, and Harry Styles push the boundaries of gendered style on the red carpet has inspired me to take an introspective look at my own style and how I’m perhaps limiting myself for no good reason. Ever get that feeling where you wake up and think, I have nothing to wear? That’s been me, only every single day. I’ve been in a rut since the world began opening up again. Even though the women’s section always seems way bigger, with more colorful and fun pieces, I’ll dutifully head to the men’s.īut lately I’ve been rethinking my approach to shopping entirely, as has a growing faction of the industry. Even now, as an adult man in his late 20s, I still find myself shopping with this same narrow point of view. The soccer jerseys, grungy band tees, and oversized suits never felt quite like me, but I went along with it. I eventually grew out of this fashion phase and began wearing the clothes deemed appropriate for boys to wear. I found comfort in playing with Barbie dolls and dressing like the Spice Girls, but whenever I would try to wear something that I inherently liked-like a tiara-I was told it was wrong. As a child, my tomboy sister refused to wear her frilly, pink princess gowns and toddler heels, but I coveted them. ![]() Jesse & David from Anker Prod Weddings on Vimeo.I’ve always been fascinated with women’s clothing.
