Not everyone is blindly following the latest fashion trend. Some people are focused on developing their own personal style, and want to invest in clothes that they genuinely love regardless of how popular they are.
But the industry still thinks it knows best and often prioritizes redundant items and designs while the truly needed ones remain limited and hard, if not impossible, to find.
So Reddit user Rachel_BA1 recently asked women to share what pieces of clothing they absolutely hate and why. Many agreed to share their thoughts and the comment section quickly proved that stores need to take a good look at their shelves.

Pants/skirts/dresses with no pockets. Or worse, fake pockets.
It’s not necessarily that I hate them, but EVERYthing is a crop top now. Can’t find a whole a*s shirt.
The sheerness and overall cheap quality of most clothing these days.
I hate finding a cute top that has the perfect length and neckline, but it comes emblazoned with something like "Live. Laugh. Love." on the front.
Sports apparel that turns pink in the women’s section. My alma mater’s colors are gold and black, why would I want a pink shirt?
The assumption that I want anything to be pink simply because I’m female really gets to me. I feel like we are slowly moving beyond it, but for so long every sports team I’ve supported has been like, “oh, you’re a lady? You must want a pink baby doll tee with a too small logo dead center on your tits.”
Clothing with cutouts that make it next to impossible to wear a bra.
I’m not that vain, I wear a bra anyway if I want to. Who cares if you can see the straps? I certainly don’t
Plus size clothes that are just larger cuts of the exact same pattern for smaller clothes, so if a shirt is 1" wider then it's also somehow 1" longer. How many adults grow taller as they grow fatter? It completely changes the look of the item.
Imagine if they took plus size clothes built for bigger bodies, bigger bellies and boobs and then just sized them down for smaller sizes. The fit would be ridiculous. I feel like fat people deserve to have well fitting clothes like smaller people do.
The most ridiculous thing were pants with low waist in plus size. I remember one year desperately needing new pants but couldn't find anything but. I'd rather go like Steve Urkel than having my belly sticking out all the time!
Ripped jeans.
There, I said it.
The fact that you have to pay more for an article of clothing that's mangled than it's intact counterpart is what gets me.
Knee high boots. I would actually love wearing them, but the standard sizes are too tight for my muscular calves, wider fits are inevitably of the "you're big, so you should be happy wearing ugly" variety, and I can't afford to have a pair made to fit.
Personally, I loathe all clothing made of polyester- spandex. What a nasty fabric. It doesn't breathe, so there's no escaping being hot. It clings to every figure flaw, somehow magnifying those. Sigh.
And all plus size clothing is made with it. 'Lets take people who are probably already self conscious, ok, now lets throw spandex with hideous prints on it' Why did they think this was a good idea??
The general women’s fit for t-shirts. I hate them! Too fitting, weird sleeves and necklines... I never felt comfortable in one. Once I discovered more boxy and gender neutral fits I felt so much more confident and happy. Just a different fit for the same type of garment can make all the difference!
I buy men's or unisex t-shirts. Better material and more comfortable.
I have a really large chest so the boxier tees make me look huge in general and the women's tees just scream "Tits!"

i buy mostly men shorts - better fit, nicer colors and also cheaper!
I hate this. We were advised from our lecturer to order a size bigger for our TAFE uniform top, so I did. I got it last week and it is so short that if you lift your arms slightly the shirt rides up and shows your tummy. I'm extremely self conscious so there is no way I am wearing it. So I have had to order another one but in mens because it is longer in length.
Almost every shirt I try on is too short! So aggravating.

I can't stand necklines that touch my collarbone. It feels like it's strangling me.
By contrast, my wife won't wear "unisex" t-shirts, hates the tight neckline. BTW she's not a twig and in her 60's.
Me too, not a twig and I'm 60. I buy all V-neck T shirts. Just wish they wouldn't make the so short.

I hate how men's shirts fit. They're always clinging at my neck, tight around the chest, and too baggy in the arms and shoulders.
maybe it's because I've gotten older, but I prefer my t's to be baggy (roomy), so I buy most of them in the men's department--they're cheaper too!
I’m finally liking the cut. I have a huge chest and a much smaller waist and narrow shoulders. It wasn’t until recently that I could find a tshirt off rack that fit/looked nice. I always had to choose either it being way too tight across my chest or just flat out baggy.
I actually prefer women's-fit shirts. I'm a bit overweight, but have found women's fit shirts to be more slimming.
I buy mens. They fit perfect in the arms and chest but on the other hand their a little long so i cut a few inches off of themm.
I'm a bigger girl, and women's tee-shirts almost never fit me. They're tailored for skinny women, with hourglass figures (thin little waists). So even though I usually wear a large or XL, even the 2X in those is too small for me, most of the time. I usually just get men's or unisex, too. They have better graphic tees in those departments, anyway.
Or finding a T you love but it's not available in scoop or v neck styles. Honey, I've got 52" shoulders - a crew neck makes me look like a refrigerator.
Also, in many cases as good as sheer-have to wear a camisole underneath. Great, another layer.
It's the small arm holes for me. I do not like having my armpits chaffed all day long.
I find a lot of women’s t shirts are too boxy for me, I have a long body and it means I feel like I’m wearing a crop top if I stand up straight!
The baby doll t-shirt cut or whatever they call it is a pain. I just buy men's.
I feel that everything has way too relaxed of a fit, lately. I can’t ever find a casual top that is form fitting, or not cropped.
I have really broad shoulders and a long torso, womens shirts just straight up don't fit me. Every t shirt I own is a mens small
Men's t-shirts and if needed, sew the bottom to where it fits you best or sew in the sides to fit form a little better. Men's clothes fit better and last longer anyway.
Even worse when they make "women's fit" shirts for little girls. I wanted to buy shirt for my little niece and found something that would fit someone with hourglass figure. She's 5, she don't have hourglass figure! Boy's T'shirt actually fit their shape. But little girls apparently are supposed to have adult women's body shape now.
High Heels. Why do they even exist? They’re basically death contraptions that are super uncomfortable that aren’t good for walking or standing for long periods of time. The only heels I’ve ever found that are comfortable enough to wear for more than an hour are my Clarke wedges, and even then those are wedges. There is no way to make stilettos comfortable
To answer the question of their existence. Shoes with heels were first used by horse riding peoples because they provide a better stand in the stirrups. If you look at the whole history, they were a integral part of mens fashion before women adopted them. So ladies, if somebody points out your lack of heels, you can ask them if you look like you plan on going to war on horseback.
Girl sleeves. Like short capped sleeves on women's tops. Just give me regular sized sleeves.
Shoes for women are literally the worst. Almost universally, they're designed to look good rather than to support your body. And I think most people don't get how damaging that is because it's so normalized. Shoes are what go between you and the ground! That's what absorbs the shock of your bodyweight slamming into the ground over and over again every day!
And, like, no one makes shoes for fat people. Women's shoes are so slim and dainty compared to men's shoes! Not just like, the length and the size, but men's shoes are clunkier and more sturdily built, I'm assuming to support a larger size of person slamming into them.
But, like, what happens when you're just a fat chick and you've got 200 lbs slamming into those ballet flats over and over?
Heel spurs. The answer is heel spurs.
And why are the comfy shoe only made in styles for much older women like you see grandma wearing them? Can't I have a cute orthopedic shoe? Style and comfort can go together and not take away from either.
Wool winter dresses - with short sleeves.
Lingerie. Especially if it's lacy. It hardly ever looks good underneath proper clothes, it's itchy and irritating and in my size, it's either unflattering or unaffordable. Also, most skirts above the knee and most trousers. I find them restrictive. I have refused to wear jeans since I was a teenager, as I find them uncomfortable and masculine. (Yes, I'll admit to being fussy.)
Can they please start making more clothes that don't need to be steamed before you put it on? It's 2021 I think anti wrinkle clothing should be the norm by now.
so much of women’s clothing is made to be uncomfortable or aesthetically pleasing, not comfortable to the wearer or conducive to free movement.
In (online) stores most of the clothing is too revealing and you couldn’t wear them to school or work. I see a lot of crop tops and annoying cut outs. For example I see a cute top in a store but when I turn it around it has an open back…. It is really hard to find modest clothes that are not old fashioned.
I don't mind much about modesty, but being of a certain age, I don't care to display the upper arms, but apparently sleeves in summer are forbidden
Ugg boots... Short for uggly...lol
Maybe it's the fake UGG boots, but I think they're dreadful as they never hold their shape, never seem to fit anyone well and look so dingy and dirty. I just never got the love for them.
Lots of people love them, so I'm glad they're comfy. I think they looked ridiculous on me, and about 99% of people.
I don't care about trendy anymore, I have wide feet and want to be comfy and pain free, so you'll have to live with Crocks and uggs lol.
Strapless bras. They either don’t stay or you have to wear them too tight they are uncomfortable
I have two strapless bras from Wonderbra and they are awesome! Great fit and great hold. I'm a size D
Ankle pants. Sitting here waiting until this God awful trend goes away so I can buy pants again. Unflattering, ugly, especially the wide length ankle pants, just why??
I'm actually happy with ankle trousers because I'm short, they are normal length for me. It's so difficult to find nice trousers when you are short
Boho style dresses with the little boob cups, sized up for 12 and above without expanding the cups.
Seriously. Really hate the specified boob areas for most tops and dresses. Most I see even being a b cup might be too big to fit. And if you're a ddd amd buy your size and try to allocate your boobs in the area there's no way because not even nipple would be covered.
Most shoes, as they are too narrow.
Why oh why can't we have shoes with proper toe boxes? Even the tennis shoes are too narrow at the front. Are we not supposed to have toes?
Trousers with fabric so thin that it clings and highlights every lump.
Also not a specific item, but I hate it when I'm shopping for clothes and see something that looks great but then it turns out to be made of icky fabric that feels scratchy or would make you feel swampy and sweaty or is too thin to hang nicely.
Pants made of thin material also pill and wear through after being worn only a few times. As for icky material, how about ordering a designer name cotton jersey nightgown that smells like vomit, even after being washed repeatedly with highly scented detergent and scent crystals? Waste of money, as the smell is so foul and strong it makes me nauseous and I can’t sleep. Can’t even use them as rags, because they’d just be vomit-smelling rags.
Tights! I think Americans call them pantyhose. They are so annoying, especially if they’re too small and they started to twist around the crotch area lol
Bras.
If they are the right fut and don't have anything that's itchy or poking me I love the support and security.
Cold shoulder tops. Why. Why would you create a thing that makes you cold ON PURPOSE?
Cuz not everybody is cold all the time? Personally, I'm always too warm. Also, it's a style. Some people like it, others don't. Variety exists for good reasons.
1 piece bathing suits are leading me to believe that I'm not proportioned like a normal human
Strapless dresses/ tops. I'm flat chested, so those never stay up. If I go too long without tugging them up all the damn time, my nipples come out to say hello. It pains me whenever I see an otherwise cute dress/ top that I can't wear because they're strapless.
If the dress is worth the effort, it's actually very easy to add straps. If you can't sew, you can buy ready made straps (check wedding dress shops and suppliers).
Petite clothing in general, dresses in specific.
I am chubby and built like a crushed can- why the f*ck does all petite clothing assume you are thin? I am petite in height, not necessarily petite everywhere. Am I just having terrible luck? I have two choices usually- fit my chest and look like I am wearing a sack or fit my waist and not even try. I usually buy from the junior's section, but I feel too old to keep doing so.
I absolutely DESPISE those sneakers with the wedge heel. Just why.. Why was that ever a thing?
Thigh high stockings that don't stay up
gstring. I hate the feeling when your panties slip in between ur buttcheek, now imagine that slip couldn't be fixed.... ugh
IDK who designs women's underwear, but I'm pretty sure they've never seen a woman. Why is there always 8cm of unnecessary fabric above the top of the butt crack? And why are my butt cheeks hanging out of the bottom, creating visible panty lines across the middle of each cheek? Also, I'm petite, and the crotch part is not wide enough even for me.
The ripped torn denim. I tried to buy some denim shorts Went to several stores. All had tears and shreds. F*ck. Buying shorts with an inseam longer than 2 inches is impossible too often also.
I hate spandex and polyester. I cannot stand the way it feels on my skin. Trying to buy womens clothing without either of those two things ugh. I put 100% cotton in my search and.....still too much poly and spandex everyf*ckingwhere. I just want a simple 100% cotton shirt/ hoodie/ whatever.
I looked at a company whose ad said blahblah organic cotton blahblah natural dyes blahblah went to their website...not one single item was 100% cotton. Not one.
I want up to date fashion or colors without any f*cking poly or spandex. I shop in the mens section and have better luck. But I sometimes want to look feminine. Not like man.
I buy a lot of linen silk and wool items. I can find 100% linen or silk or wool items no probs. But 100% f*cking cotton? No. God damn it.
The lack of bamboo clothing. I have two bamboo fiber shirts that are amazing. Bamboo is underutilized as a clothing textile. Unless I was lied to about how great it was for the environment. In which case, aw sugars.
see through clothes for no reason
Hmm. This is very subjective. Nearly all the items are just personal taste. I actually really like wearing nearly all the things listed here in the right mood. The only one that is completely universal is pockets. Why are we not allowed pockets. They're so great we mention it every time we have them.
Bodycon dresses. Only look good if you have a flat stomach and almost nobody has a flat stomach. I’m average weight but I feel hella fat in them.
Ugly fuzzy shoes personally give me the ick
On my swim team people wore fuzzy Crocs. Around a pool!!!!! AFTER SWIMMING!!!
Pantyhose. Though I've never worn stockings with a garter belt but that might work. But regular pantyhose is the worst
“Mom” or “boyfriend” jeans. That baggy look is not flattering on anyone, and the thick fabric is not comfy
I have a pair of soft denim boyfriend jeans. They are hella comfy, warm and durable. I don't care how flattering they are or not I love them. They have deep pockets. I can move comfortably in them, garden, chase the kids, and throw them in the machine without a care in the world. Best clothing item ever.
Tube tops like why
first and only time i wore a tube top i sneezed and it became a cumberbun
High waisted pants.
If you’re short like me they end up under your boobs. They also give you a saggy butt. Even if you have the most perfectly toned butt in the world put it in a pair of high waisted pants and the butt suddenly becomes saggy!
calf-length leggings, the ones that end just below the knee
literally like everything. so tight and restricted.
I hate it when salespeople try to sell me this kind of garment. "But it stretches." Yes, but then it springs back to cut off your circulation.
I don’t understand cold shoulder tops. Like, if it’s cold, why are you wearing a long sleeve shirt with your shoulders exposed? If it’s a tee shirt version, it just looks like it has holes. Exceptions are made for people with stunning shoulders I suppose. Like, if you are Iman or Wonder Woman, I guess I understand it, but perhaps a tank next time? Idk.
Speaking for myself, it means I'm hot but I don't wear short or no sleeves because I hate my flabby arms
The super long tops. 5'1" and all shirts are starting to look like I stole mommy's shirt. I'm 54, she's dead, not a good look
I always feel somewhat dumpy in shift dresses I much prefer a-line dresses. Others look great in them sometimes
It really is about finding the right cut for your body- not because there is anything wrong with one or the other, just they hang differently on you. I have had to change my requirements for dresses from my teen years where I was underweight. Thankfully there are plenty of options out there, especially if you buy second hand like I do.
Overalls
Ew. I just hate them. Wear what you want, but they're not for me
Where I live, if you're wearing overalls, there's a good chance you're working on the farm.
handbags & skirts. just give me a jumpsuit with deep pockets and I’m good.
flip flops off the beach. I like sandals ok but with more structure
I genuinely don't like jeans (do jeans count as a clothing item for women? Women's jeans?). Full length jeans. idc what cut, they're coarse and rough and irritating. I like jean shorts, but when I have to wear something longer it's slacks/pants or leggings.
I don't care for jeans, either. They're too hot, stiff and restrictive.
Skirts in general. They make no sense to me. I'm sometimes masculine, sometimes very feminine, but even in my most feminine moments I refuse to wear skirts. It's just not practical enough for me.
Why? They're great in the summer heat. I like wearing long ones that reach the knees and I feel very comfy and secure.
I don't see the point in this list. It's less "these are the problems with women's clothes in general" and more "I hate this particular clothing item". Virtually all of these just have me saying "OK, so don't buy them".
Yup...For over half the list I was going "huh...I actually like this though". The only real issues are the "pants with no pockets", "everything is pink" and "why the heck is every shirt a croptop now??". Everything else is just a matter of taste.

My biggest complaint is that my clothes dont last anywhere near as long as my husbands do. Even my jeans... we go shopping and both buy jeans, which we both wear with the same regularity. My jeans are always more expensive than his, even if we buy the same brand, and on average last 18months before they start to wear and get holes or the stitching comes undone. My husband's jeans least him on average 3 years. Same for our work clothes. We are both professional office workers so our attire is similar. His work shirts last approx 5 years before they fall apart. Mine last approx 3 and most significantly less. The shirt I have on right now actually needs to be thrown away. It's 2 years old but the stitching around the cuff is all coming loose. I've already had to replace the buttons twice. Why are women's clothes such shitty quality???
I have been shopping in the Men's department for a couple of decades now. Pants, you can buy length you want, they are usually well made, and wrinkle free. Shoes/sneakers are also better made and better styles if they carry the smaller mens sizes. Sweaters, some tops too. You can accessorize to make them more feminine. Women's fashion is just awful

Can I throw in winter boots and shoes that are not water resistant? It rains a lot where I live and I'm tired of arriving at work with wet feet, even if I buy a decent quality brand. Unfortunately I'm too small to wear mens shoes and boys shoes aren't smart enough for work.
Okay, I know a lot of you will hate me for this, but I hate crocs. They are comfortable, but they look terrible and ugly!
I use them. With socks. I'm gonna rot in hell.

I know what you mean about no belt loops! I only recently started buying ones with elastic waistbands and could do with a belt as well.

A lot of these posts are on the more general theme that women's clothes are not designed for comfort and practicality.
I and my daughter are tall, 5'9" & 5'10" and my biggest gripe is clothing companies that list tall women's pants and the inseam is 32"! Please make the minimum length for tall pants at least 34 inches. Or better yet, start sizing women's pants the way they do men's.
I have and still wear clothing from my teens (in my fifties) especially jeans - seriously, jeans take a minimum of five years to wear in, become soft and comfortable. Seems like nothing I buy new nowadays lasts more than a year. T-shirts develop holes, underwear unravels, socks become “crunchy”, who the heck has $500+ to buy a bra that actually fits? I’m honestly questioning “do men have to put up with this?”
Pockets pockets pockets pockets ... there should be pockets that are useable in every pant and dress/skirt just as there is in mens clothes ... also agree no fabric should be made with that sheer itchy polyester fabric just totally uncomfortable that can't be washed nor can you wear them and be comfortable .... plus t shirts cut with extra fabric for women with boobs and with these you can forget the pockets
Many of these are why I buy almost all of my clothes from vintage/thrift shops. Also for environmental reasons, but I prefer vintage styles and quality.
So true, it solves so many problems. The only one that it doesn't is probably the amount of pockets.

Many women (including myself) complain about button-down shirts gaping open in the front. Why don't they add 2 more buttons and put the buttons closer together?
Yes! Where I'm from there is only one brand who makes women's shirts with three buttons close together in the chest area. They are godsent and I buy all my shirts from them.

And that's some of the many reasons why I decided to just wear man's clothes
The shoe thing is actually real though I have RA and my foot has become deformed due to rheumatic nodules I work in an office and the only things I can wear are sandals with the front of my foot out or work boots
Pakistani Fashion Designer Ochre is the best and you can get the best fashion girls formal collection in the best Ochre PK brand.
Honestly I agree with so many of these. Most cothing/shoes for women and girls being pink, crop tops, no pockets and fake pockets, bras and narrow shoes... Personally, I don't mind the colour pink but I don't want every single item of clothing that I own to be pink. And shoes! My dad is over 6 feet and I take after him height wise, which means I've got big feet (size 12). The only way I can get comfortable shoes is if I shop in the men's section which sucks because sometimes I want cute and comfortable shoes. But, nope, not really an option for me. Same with clothes. I forget exactly what it's called but I've got a sensory disorder, which makes it impossible for me to wear clothes are too tight or clingy. Leggings are a big no, turtlenecks are huge no, any type of clothing that's really tight around my knees, neck and elbows are a no... You get the picture. That means I'm generally stuck with men's clothes as well as shoes.
I hate and don’t understand, why bathing suits, seem to be made smaller than they use to be. For example, I have an old bathing suit from early 2000’s, it’s a medium, I still wear them and fit perfect. Around 2017, I went to the same store I bought my other one. A medium fit like a small. I would have to get an x large to get them to fit any kind of way. Yet I can still wear my medium bathing suit I bought years ago. And guys have way cooler stuff. Not all women are girly. I usually buy men’s shirts and shoes. Not to mention their clothes seem to be cheaper.
Most men would kill for the range of clothing options women have. I don’t think calling out specific types of clothing helps this list. I do however understand the quality arguments as well as pockets. Wife’s wedding dress has pockets and this was the key feature
Pretty much all of this is why I shop in the men's section for clothes. I have pockets galore, my underwear don't ride up my a$$, my shorts don't show off my hoohaa, my t-shirts are roomy, comfy, and don't restrict my arms (wheelchair user). Complaining doesn't do a darn bit of good, just stop buying it
I like how I came here because of my curiosity. And I don’t understand a thing (a few things but sometimes I don’t get what is being said)
Why has anyone mentioned belts? Women's belt suck esp the ones for jeans... those flimsy ones are useless... i prefer shopping in the men's section.. Even the shorts are so bad... i am not a great fan for those sexy ones... i like comfort..
My sister and I pretty much only buy skate belts as they last forever and fit better. The only time I don't is when I am wearing one that looks pretty but doesn't need to be functional, like with a dress :) I think a lot of women shop in mens section, but I have always wondered how the jeans/shorts fit, as men's are not designed for people with wider hips. I buy almost all my clothes at op shops (second hand) to get ones that are more varied in shape and style. I often look out for longer shorts for my sister as they are what she prefers.

According to what I've read, nobody like clothes and we all should be naked and without shoes. Everyone hate something in this list.
I laughed my but off at this list, don't you people have access to tailor's? Also purchasable material to make clothes? Also cant you somehow gather and protest for pockets and all the other "issues" in here? I seen mega duper cloth companies beg forgiveness to 10+ customers offended for something who posted on twitter, i am shore 100+ woman could get at leat 1 pocket on a pair of jeans that way? Sorry for being condescending but you deserve it all!
Haha, in most countries tailors and even fabric to make your own clothes is very expensive. I found it amazing that my aunt, who lives overseas could choose fabric she liked cheap and have it made into dresses for not much. Also, isn't this list us coming together to 'protest'? If you don't care about what we are talking about, why read to the end? You do come off as very condescending and saying anyone group deserves negative treatment is highly offensive.

Honestly I agree with so many of these. Most cothing/shoes for women and girls being pink, crop tops, no pockets and fake pockets, bras and narrow shoes... Personally, I don't mind the colour pink but I don't want every single item of clothing that I own to be pink. And shoes! My dad is over 6 feet and I take after him height wise, which means I've got big feet (size 12). The only way I can get comfortable shoes is if I shop in the men's section which sucks because sometimes I want cute and comfortable shoes. But, nope, not really an option for me. Same with clothes. I forget exactly what it's called but I've got a sensory disorder, which makes it impossible for me to wear clothes are too tight or clingy. Leggings are a big no, turtlenecks are huge no, any type of clothing that's really tight around my knees, neck and elbows are a no... You get the picture. That means I'm generally stuck with men's clothes as well as shoes.
I hate and don’t understand, why bathing suits, seem to be made smaller than they use to be. For example, I have an old bathing suit from early 2000’s, it’s a medium, I still wear them and fit perfect. Around 2017, I went to the same store I bought my other one. A medium fit like a small. I would have to get an x large to get them to fit any kind of way. Yet I can still wear my medium bathing suit I bought years ago. And guys have way cooler stuff. Not all women are girly. I usually buy men’s shirts and shoes. Not to mention their clothes seem to be cheaper.
Most men would kill for the range of clothing options women have. I don’t think calling out specific types of clothing helps this list. I do however understand the quality arguments as well as pockets. Wife’s wedding dress has pockets and this was the key feature
Pretty much all of this is why I shop in the men's section for clothes. I have pockets galore, my underwear don't ride up my a$$, my shorts don't show off my hoohaa, my t-shirts are roomy, comfy, and don't restrict my arms (wheelchair user). Complaining doesn't do a darn bit of good, just stop buying it
I like how I came here because of my curiosity. And I don’t understand a thing (a few things but sometimes I don’t get what is being said)
Why has anyone mentioned belts? Women's belt suck esp the ones for jeans... those flimsy ones are useless... i prefer shopping in the men's section.. Even the shorts are so bad... i am not a great fan for those sexy ones... i like comfort..
My sister and I pretty much only buy skate belts as they last forever and fit better. The only time I don't is when I am wearing one that looks pretty but doesn't need to be functional, like with a dress :) I think a lot of women shop in mens section, but I have always wondered how the jeans/shorts fit, as men's are not designed for people with wider hips. I buy almost all my clothes at op shops (second hand) to get ones that are more varied in shape and style. I often look out for longer shorts for my sister as they are what she prefers.
Load More Replies... According to what I've read, nobody like clothes and we all should be naked and without shoes. Everyone hate something in this list.
I laughed my but off at this list, don't you people have access to tailor's? Also purchasable material to make clothes? Also cant you somehow gather and protest for pockets and all the other "issues" in here? I seen mega duper cloth companies beg forgiveness to 10+ customers offended for something who posted on twitter, i am shore 100+ woman could get at leat 1 pocket on a pair of jeans that way? Sorry for being condescending but you deserve it all!
Haha, in most countries tailors and even fabric to make your own clothes is very expensive. I found it amazing that my aunt, who lives overseas could choose fabric she liked cheap and have it made into dresses for not much. Also, isn't this list us coming together to 'protest'? If you don't care about what we are talking about, why read to the end? You do come off as very condescending and saying anyone group deserves negative treatment is highly offensive.
Load More Replies... Unpopular opinion but you brought all these things on yourselves. If nobody bought them they wouldn't sell them.
