🔖 Read True gender-neutral clothing must go beyond fancy sweatpants.
I love the idea of a shop where clothing is arranged by type (shirts here, dresses there) and silhouette (narrow shoulders over here, broad hips over there).
@kimberlyhirsh That was an interesting read, thanks. I find the whole notion of 'women's' clothes and 'men's' clothes very annoying and nonsensical.
@kimberlyhirsh Veey interesting article. I agree with you for clothes arrangement, that would be a much nicer shopping experience.
@Miraz Me too! I'm someone who lives mostly in dresses but I also want to be able to find flannel or suiting items that fit well.
@Portufraise There are so many reasons a person might want to wear clothing not marketed to their gender. This would take that away. (While I'm dreaming, let's have clothing that's clearly marked with measurements for everyone, as clothes marketed to men so often are.)
@kimberlyhirsh Interesting article. Just yesterday, my daughter asked me why the men's section of a clothing store was just a corner, and the women had two whole floors. I strongly support a broad collection of gender-neutral clothing. In fact, clothing has no gender. Period.
@Alligator Clothing does have no gender. What it does have is fit, and it might be nice to find a way to communicate that to people who might not have a vocabulary to describe fit that doesn't rely on specialized knowledge of clothing construction. "Nipped in waist," "tailored for breasts," "loose from the chest down." We have a bit of this for dresses already but it'd be nice to have it for other items, too.
