I've come to the conclusion that men will eventually just be naked in the future. Every time i go to shop for clothes in the USA the men's section has shrunk and the women's has gotten larger.

Or we will all eventually just dress like steve jobs, just pairs of the one legal compliance shirt and pants combo available for sale.

The men's clothes are still larger than they were in the 80s.

Really men's clothing right now is just a game of doing whatever gay men do but, like, 5 years later. So that means in a year or two men's clothes will be back to thick pant legs, flares, and maybe even pleats.

Don't worry, the cropped shirts and booty shorts was just a phase.

I don't think the booty shorts phase with gay men has ended yet, still very much see it in places like ptown. (however I do acknowledge that ptown is a bit of a bubble...)

Personally I am waiting for the long earings to catch on outside of gay men.

I'm told there is a growing trend of men wearing "women's" clothing. Perhaps the eventual outcome is that we will all wear the same thing (whatever women consider to be fashionable)?

I'm a 6'4" man and bought two pairs of trousers from the women's section recently. They fit perfectly but granted are what would have been marketed as "plus size" in the past. Would encourage everyone who doesn't mind a less utilitarian look to try it. There's a much, much wider variety of pieces and it's cheaper too - especially for more formal styles.

Jeans that are acceptable and T-shirts made of whatever "ring-spun Egyptian cotton" that is cheap enough to feel like polyester and probably is
