THIS Is Why I Don't Care About Gendered Clothing

About this video

The Gazette team discusses why men shouldn’t feel constrained by gendered clothing boundaries, exploring how items marketed as women’s clothing—such as espadrilles, silk scarves, watches, and slippers—can be stylishly incorporated into a man’s wardrobe. They argue that many supposedly feminine items have unisex historical origins, and that practical considerations like fit, scale, and quality should take precedence over marketing categories.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that many items currently marketed as women’s clothing, like espadrilles and silk scarves, have unisex or historically masculine origins and should be evaluated on merit rather than marketing category
• The Gazette team explains that scale and fit are practical reasons to consider women’s sections, particularly for slimmer builds or those seeking proportional sizing in watches and other accessories
• The Gazette team contends that ‘repetition legitimizes’—by coordinating a feminine-coded item with other matching elements in an outfit, one can integrate it seamlessly into a classically masculine aesthetic
• The Gazette team argues that gendered clothing categories are largely a modern marketing invention designed to increase sales, and that historical precedent shows many items have crossed gender boundaries throughout fashion history
