I completely agree. I mostly end up wearing band t-shirts now because my preferred style (long sleeved button downs with cool looking fabrics, rolled up sleeves - no, short sleeved button down shirts do not work they look goofy and are cut to a very different pattern. They aren’t sleek enough yes I know I’m fat and not sleek I don’t care) only comes in stupid plaid and stupider plaid. Fortunately I can get away with a sports coat over that since my current day job is musician.
I shop from both men and women’s sections, while men have better fabrics and comfy stuff the colors are depressing. I mean they do have that occasional pink shirt that’s a statement but it’s rare to have happy colors as far as i can see. Of course I’m sure it depends on the budget and what kind of stores you have access to.
The stuff I have been looking for is available at Nordstrom for like 300/shirt. Or 700/jacket I have this jacket I have been lusting over for A While Now. I have to wait for it to hit The Rack and then their discount rack and hope no one has bought the cool looking shit.
Just for clarification, i don’t really care about fashion, i prefer comfort and efficiency and bulk buying oversized t-shirts and sweatpants, shorts for summer, seem to be the absolute best for that purpose.
But, we do have the entire world at our fingertips. No need to be limited to whatever your local store offers.
I will argue to the moon and back this is an issue of guys genuinely not having any good options at the store

What are you looking for that you’ve been unable to find?

but i must feel the fabric and inspect the stitching, like my mother and her mother before her
i ain’t got a clue what i’m doing but cargo cults gonna cargo cult
Mmm, ehhhh, uhhhh, ahhh, I mean yeah, pretty much. I want more options and they can be pretty hard to find unless you really know where to look.
