My husband laughs at me that I still try to shop in the women's section first before getting fired up and huffing off to the men's section, muttering profanities under my breath, to shop for pants.
First off, men's sizing is based on actual real life measurements, not arbitrary, make you feel good or bad about yourself sizing that differs between every brand on the planet. It's great not having to take 3 sizes of each article of clothing you want to try into the fitting room, because who the hell knows what this sizing even MEANS. All while the store employees are giving you the side eye because you're taking 15 articles of clothing into the fitting room and muttering angrily, I'm only trying on FIVE THINGS (of varying sizes)... your limit is FIVE, I am following the rules!
Second, men's clothing is generally (not always) organized in stores by CATEGORY and SIZE not by BRAND, so I don't have to go to 12 different little brand-specific staging areas to look at each pair of pants. When I go to the men's section and all the pants are in one place, the clouds part and I hear angels singing.
Lastly, as stated many times, HELLO POCKETS.
I also go for men's athletic shoes... the women's athletic shoe neon color schemes are generally awful. Can a girl just get a flat black skate shoe every once in a while please?!
I also will admit I reverted to men's wallets, because, I'm not even sure what all the damn compartments are for in women's clutches/purses when all I need is a place to put cash and plastic and I never have enough of those slots! I know some people carry their lives in their purses, but I am not those people...
