to this day i still don't get it. if women's jeans suck then why don't you just wear mens?

I remembered one time when I heard some of my female relatives complaining about how terrible shopping for women's clothes was, and then I asked them why they didn't just shop in the men's section instead.

They all looked at me like I'd just sprouted a second head.

I mean, I have a very stereotypically "feminine" body type (small waist, wide hips, large chest, long legs) and most men's clothing that I wear fits me just fine.

I will admit that I don't wear jeans that much, so they may be the exception to that rule.

I guess it's also a matter of taste. I actually have some men's t-shirts that I wear regularly. One of them is ~my size~, kinda tight in the chest and hips, not uncomfortable to the point that's unbearable, but still a bit awkward, like I'm inside a tube or something. Then I have a couple that are bigger and they're not tight in those areas, but when I wear them I feel like I'm wearing a potato sack. Which is fine sometimes, but that's not how I want to look like all the time. I vastly prefer the way the women's t-shirts I own make my body look in comparison. They fit and highlight my curves more naturally, something I generally want from my clothes.

I guess the point I'm trying to make here is that, even if one can find men's clothes that technically fit and they can wear comfortably, it doesn't mean they're going to like the way their body looks in them 🤔
