To Dress Well, a Woman Should Shop Like a Man

Menswear designers don’t use a fabric unless it feels good “to the hand,” because men won’t buy uncomfortable clothing.

Unlike men, women frequently settle for garments that don’t fit well and don’t feel good. Sometimes, women have little choice. It has long been an irritating truth that men are offered better-quality clothes for lower prices. Many fashionable women’s clothes—including plenty sold at luxury prices—are made relatively cheaply. “Women do get shortchanged in the market,” says Patrick Gigliotti, a menswear salesman at the venerable Boyd’s Philadelphia department store. Some women who value well-made clothing have even resorted to shopping in menswear departments.

One reason for the quality difference is trendiness: Because womenswear is more faddish, there’s a perception in the fashion industry that the clothes will be thrown away more quickly. Indeed, fast fashion has trained a generation to seek out throwaway styles.

For women tailoring is more important because women are always looking for clothes that will lift their bottoms and smooth their bulges. That is why it is so important to understand the way that men shop and pay for tailoring and good quality fabrics above all else! A well-tailored garment can take up to 15lbs off of your body and add inches in height to your frame.
