Most men hate shopping for clothes and try to avoid it as much as possible. This is not just because they loathe the prospect of endlessly trying on clothes and checking the fit and style, a process that women seem to enjoy infinitely and are happy to do endlessly. Mens clothes are not easy to find and they are not easy to buy. You do not even have to be a man to know this. If you are a woman and you have ever gone shopping for clothes for a man you will know that it is not as easy as buying clothes for yourself.
The problem earlier was that men simply did not have enough choice and did not have access to the huge range of styles, colours and fits that women had a choice of. Women have a great choice of clothes to fit and flatter every shape and every body type and clothes that are perfect for every season and every occasion. For the longest time men have not been spoilt for choice like women have and they have found it notoriously hard to find clothes that are hip and fashionable while also not pushing the boundaries of what they are comfortable wearing too far.
The flip side of this story is that most men are more conservative in the way that they dress and are less willing to experiment with drastic fashions and styles that women would be willing to try in the blink of an eye. So it is harder for designers and fashion labels to come up with new styles and new trends for mens clothes and men's fashions than it is for women. This vicious cycle has gone on for many decades but things have now slowly started to change for the better for men.
The last decade has seen the rise of what is sometimes referred to as the metro sexual man. One who cares a lot about the way he looks and the way he dresses spends a lot of time, effort and money on personal care and grooming and on clothing and accessories. Designers have also stepped up to the challenge of dressing the metro sexual man who is not afraid of trying new styles and today the market is full of designer labels that cater to stylish men. If you are a well dressed man there has never been a better time to buy mens clothes than right now.
