But oddly enough it is more socially acceptable for a woman to wear men's clothes as many would believe they are just tomboyish and not actually lesbian OR the woman is wearing her boyfriend's/husband's clothes for a specific reason or occasion.
However if a man is caught wearing a womans clothes the worst things go through a person's head.
This sort of thinking troubles me even as a woman that finds men's clothes more comfortable than womens. (plus the women's styles are way too frilly for me).
It goes to show that in general men's clothing is more practical and comfortable than women's.
Who in their right mind wants to wear all those extra layers of pantyhose, bras, and slips, or pants that are too tight without enough pockets? High heels? You've got to be kidding!
Also, women's clothing, item-to-item comparison, cost more to purchase, tailor, and dry clean than men's. It's a rip off!
Women's clothing tends to wear out and go out of style more quickly than men's--another waste of money.
Another difference is, when most women wear men's clothing they aren't trying to look like men or to be men, nor do they get a "kick" out of wearing men's clothing.
I'm glad that manufacturers finally started making some "men's" clothing specifically for women. Back in the olden days when Navy women were first allowed to wear the men's dungaree uniform, I had to pay to have my uniforms tailored because they were cut for men. The waists of the dungaree pants had to be taken in (including removing a couple of the belt loops), and fabric had to be removed and darted in for the shirt.
The reason that women were finally allowed to wear the dungaree uniform instead of the women's chambray uniform was because the women's uniform was too flimsy for hard labor. Again, practicality.
