Lil’ cross-post from Lemmy.ca.

With women’s fashion, it’s an easy one with pockets and for some probably less sheer/thin or tight-fitting clothing depending on their preferences, but for men…?

What would you like to see done differently in men’s fashion?

    Hmm, I feel like the unisex backpack/slingbag may be what more folks are converging on. Purses increasingly only make sense for formal occasions, imo. Regardless, whatever one calls them, I tend to agree!

    Plus, if cargo pants are so loathed, only makes sense to make some kinda bag to lug odds & ends the norm.

      I bought a sling backpack a few years ago and love it. I wanted to carry my keys, phone charger, wallet, cell phone, extra batteries for my hearing aid, band-aids, tissues, etc, but pockets only give you so much storage. Cram them full of too much stuff and they tend to bulge in very unsightly ways.

      With my sling, I can carry everything I need without stuffing my pockets. It’s very convenient.

      The only downside is that my wife insists on calling it my “purse.” Why can’t men carry around a bag to contain things? Women get purses. Why are men confined to whatever we can cram into our pockets?

        Do you have a slingbag you recommend? I saw someone mention one either here or in one of the cross-posts of this but it was a way pricy brand.

          This is the one I bought for myself: https://a.co/d/bqpNGrw

          It’s $19 and, while it’s small, it can hold a decent amount of items. It’s lated me 4 years ago far with no discernable wear

          Recently, my son needed one, but he needed the ability to carry a water bottle as well. I bought him this one: https://a.co/d/3pS2W0F

          This one is $23 and bigger. Plus, it has a water bottle holder. My son has only used it for a two weeks so I can’t attest to how well it holds up.

            Oh nice! The first is more in line with an in-between of decent storage & compactness that I’ve been kind of interested in since learning of this type of bag. Thanks!

      Yeah, the unisex bag is fine. Timbuk2 messenger bags have been my go-to for years. I’m not sure I even own an actual purse! 😂
