Women often latch on to men's wear and men's fashion trends - to an extent that we often do not even notice it as "men's wear".

if no one said it already, some people like the brand wildfang:

@malte I think answers to your question depend a lot on what you are really looking for. I know a number of men* (male assigned at birth) who get the feminine clothing mostly in second hand stores. There's also a brand, reworxx. In general they make new clothes (new designs) from old clothes, and meanwhile they have a lot of 'feminine' stuff for all sizes. And vice versa.
@literaturundtechnologie Thanks!

Women often latch on to men's wear and men's fashion trends - to an extent that we often do not even notice it as "men's wear". The opposite is much more rare. When men browse the women's section, one takes it as "cross-dressing".
I envy the range of shapes and colors in women's clothes, but struggle with the sizes and especially the fit. Fediverse, what brands do you know of that make something like "women's clothes for men"?
@malte Billy Porter comes to mind for me

@malte A friend really likes and looks great in Desigual. He wears the pants and they fit. He is very skinny, though.
But I think there are some great Desigual jackets and tops that would look phantastic on men, too.@Eatsbluecrayon Awesome, these are the kinds of tips I was looking for. And I agree, lots of their clothes would look amazing on men!

@malte - I've never had much of a problem finding clothes which fit from either department, and in general I find that it's not that difficult to incorporate womenswear and other feminine elements into an otherwise masculine look.
If you shop somewhere with both departments they'll probably be fine if you take womenswear to the men's fitting rooms to try on.
@philcowans You're lucky! I often find that women's clothes are too tight e.g. around the shoulders and armpits for me.

@klossartig Nice one, definitely a well-dressed man

Speaking of the color restrictions in men's wear ... Just a moment ago I have another man shouting at me on the street. I'm wearing a pale yellow shirt. A man shouts: What's that shirt - white or yellow? I respond: This is yellow. Moments after I passed him, he shouts: Wear a white one next time! (I don't say anything and just give him the finger)
@malte Wow. That, at least, is unimaginable here in San Francisco.

@malte what are you looking for?
@maltita Inspiration! I think it says what I'm looking for in my post above.

@malte I used to love Monki and their cuts are pretty wide! But lately they've become kinda boring
also Metamorphoza (etsy) has fun silhouettes and good sizing, but not really "fun" (I'm goth-y so black is fun for me). Lastly, Miranda Banana! Colorful and fun (but more expensive) -

But for shoes you can always buy a second hand one you like the shape and dye it at home

Oh, and tell me what are your male style icons that branch into women's wear. We could make a beautiful little subthread for that here. Post images!

@maltita I don't mind splashing money on shoes if I really like them and the quality is good. They'll likely last me a decade or more! I want to get a boot with higher heels for one thing.
