Men Shopping in the Women's Department For Tight Clothes

Retailers say guys are picking up the high-fashion–menswear look of very skinny pants and tight clothes, and now men everywhere from here to Australia are buying women's jeans in women's clothing stores, because men's jeans just aren't tight or skinny enough. On the bright side, guys might not have to hit up the women's department much longer, as unisex clothing lines are proliferating. Take former Ksubi designer Gareth Moody, who has a unisex clothing collection in the works for his label Chronicles of Never. It's not a Pete Wentz–ish cheapie line either, but "upmarket." Well, that's good.

So, let's take stock: Guys of all persuasions can now wear ladies' tight clothes, girdles, and high heels with reckless abandon. It's men's lib, sure, but it's kind of about cross-dressing, in a way. Take it too far with the mass marketing, and it could get messy: Just imagine the chaos when everyone's gaydar gets thrown off.

Re: Men Shopping in the Women's Department For Tight Clothes

ive seen guys wear girl jeans for years.
ive always joked there is something wrong when the easiest way to get a date with a girl is to wear girl pants.

My thoughts exactly. They've been doing this for years! I guess it's catching on to the rest of the male population? lol. I'm sure this is much more popular with the younger guys, though. Like teens and early twenties...and most likely takes place in the junior's department...not the women's.

My boyfriend has a pair of female jeans her bought at a resale shop. He loves them, but I hate when he wears them. Ugg.
