More variety for formal wear. I hate that women get to express themselves more elaborately and I get to pick what color my tie is.

If you're really lucky, they might throw in a vest...With a subtle design! But honestly, I can see where you're coming from.
I will admit sometimes it's nice knowing what's expected.
Why is something expected in the first place?
The whole assumption that a person is more professional because they chose the professional uniform is absolutely stupid. If Donald Trump, Hitler, MLK, Putin, and your friendly neighborhood lawyer wear the same outfit, then that outfit says nothing.

You beat me to it! More colour, more designs, more accessories. I like wearing a suit, but women just have so many more fun designs.
Don't forget you get to pick socks and dress shirt.
I want to wear capes without people thinking I'm a magician lol
Bring back cloaks.
Hell yeah I'd totally rock a cloak.
Why don't you want people to think you're a magician?!
Grow a long white beard and lean in to the whole wizard thing!
You're a wizard Weaksauce!

We should replace all of men's (pointlessly tight and uncomfortable) formal attire with loose-fitting, Qing dynasty-style robes.
I'm not a dude, but I think guys should embrace the purse( or manbag if you prefer). I love carrying all my shit with me.
Hmm, I feel like the unisex backpack/slingbag may be what more folks are converging on. Purses increasingly only make sense for formal occasions, imo. Regardless, whatever one calls them, I tend to agree!
Plus, if cargo pants are so loathed, only makes sense to make some kinda bag to lug odds & ends the norm.
I bought a sling backpack a few years ago and love it. I wanted to carry my keys, phone charger, wallet, cell phone, extra batteries for my hearing aid, band-aids, tissues, etc, but pockets only give you so much storage. Cram them full of too much stuff and they tend to bulge in very unsightly ways.
With my sling, I can carry everything I need without stuffing my pockets. It's very convenient.
The only downside is that my wife insists on calling it my "purse." Why can't men carry around a bag to contain things? Women get purses. Why are men confined to whatever we can cram into our pockets?

I'd love to see men have more freedom to personalise their fashion with colour and cut. As it is, men's fashion tends to be cookie cutter with the odd personal flourish, and it should be more than that
I'd agree but I was at a wedding this summer and one guy wore a romper, so I'm no longer sure we should be trusted with that much fashion freedom.
Look, some of you have bad taste, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make :P

Ill probably be judged, but honestly more skin, more tightness, etc.
Women can wear tight ass dresses or wear outfits that question why are they not just naked at that point, while men have long ass shorts.
I want to see men in leggings, crop tops, bikinis/thongs (were appropriate)
Make skirts and dresses socially acceptable for men! They look so comfy.
Kaftans, tunics, dashikis.
Make cargo shorts cool again
I don't care if they are cool or not. I'm wearing them. I'm married and have kids, cool means nothing to me.
Dadetected. /s
Really though, isn't this kind of the overpowered win over women's fashion? They may not be "cool" but they maximize pockets while letting you stay cool.

Make the person designing outfits in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure in charge of all men's fashion in real life.

Skirts, bro. Could really use that breeze on a hot day.
Id take robes too. Feels so much better than pants in summer.
The Saudi robe game seems pretty solid.

Fuck you neckties. And just suits in general too.
Oh yeah, and why is it that sneakers aren't an acceptable shoe in certain situations? I mean sure, if they are some gaudy fluorescent green shoes, they would look out of place in most work environments. But why is a monochromatic black or brown sneaker any different than a dress shoe?
People look down on dress sneakers (dress shoes that have comfortable soles) but as long as they are fully brown or black, 90% of people would never notice them.

No more mullets. They're fuckin everywhere down here. You look like a half-fucked toothbrush, cut it out!
I wish I had more opportunities to wear my 3-story-tall armored mechanical exoskeleton with gatling gun arms in public. Just never seem to get invited to the right parties.
Sporrans. Those leather Scottish fannypacks that give you a single pocket when you're wearing a kilt.
They're good for so many reasons:
- extra pocket
- has a chain, furry leather, and badass tassels
- protect your junk from ranged attacks
- big enough for wallet, keys, phone
Togas need to make a comeback.
The power bulge
lol I was going to suggest getting rid of what the dude before me said everyone should wear. Most dudes just look the same in their drab, monochrome monkey suits. I don't feel like men have fashion. Just utilitarian clothing that has no personality.
But not even, modern suits have no utility and are downright inconvenient in warm climates. Suits can burn in hell.

There needs to be more kilts. We need to adopt the kilt as not just a regional thing.
Beyond that, I really wish that boxer briefs were more comfortable. I like the support, but they tend to bunch up if I sit for too long.
Id like to axe suits and from the wardrobe entirely and see what new things pop up. They're boring.
