I am a woman and I have an elder brother. Which means that most years growing up, I had to wear my brother’s hand-me-down clothes. I won’t lie, at first it was annoying. I was labelled as a ‘tomboy’ for wearing baggy t-shirts and loose jeans. Cut to 2020 – I’m in my late twenties and I literally raid my brother’s wardrobe every day because honestly, there is nothing more comfortable than men’s clothing!
And Indian women online have been talking about exactly that! One woman took to Twitter to reveal that she shops a lot from the men’s clothing section because they are more comfortable.
I buy my clothes from the men's section a lot. Because ladies, mardo ki life ki tarah, unki clothing bhi humse bohot zyada comfortable hai.

This led to multiple women making honest confessions of doing the same because, for a woman, men’s clothing is pure love. Firstly, the jeans have pockets. ACTUAL POCKETS! Secondly, they are soft, comfortable, don’t make your skin itch, and helps you move freely. Women’s clothing mostly is like living in a corset. Girls will know what I mean!
So here’s all that women online revealed:
Oh hell yeah. As a plus sized woman, jeans are so much easier to find in men's sizes. Plus, they actually have *gasp* DECENTLY SIZED POCKETS.

I agree… I do the same…
Even ladies section ka pajama… Dude, why is it so skin tight?? Loose chahiye bhai…— Shit Magnet 💩🧲 (@Not_A_Sister) September 18, 2020

Same. And real pockets that hold things…. What a novel idea.

And the pockets for active wear.

@mockingjay_45 will testify. Most of my winter wardrobe comes from men's section. https://t.co/HF9Wc2V95j

All the fandom t shirts I own are from the men's section because the clothing industry has made it a point to debar womxn from such luxuries. https://t.co/XLM4eCy9Ca

why are their t-shirts 10X softer and doesn't try to strangle your breasts. They don't deserve such comfort. https://t.co/SNZeOE7uDf

However, some men intervened and said that women’s clothing looks comfortable too (*coughs* skirts) and that they have a lot more variety and colours.
its true, but i often wished if i could wear ur skirts, it seems much comfortable

I wish men section has as many choices as ladies section of clothing https://t.co/XMDyX27Xi3

🤯 really? When I go shopping with my Mrs, I always notice how women clothes have a bigger variety to choose from, better designs, more colours, fit better and even better material used than mens equivalent.
With you it's the opposite going on😁

Being a woman who struggles with finding comfortable, breathable, and sustainable clothing, I can vouch that men’s clothing is the real deal.
