Clothing Stores for Men

Sorry gentlemen… although both men & women wear clothing, the majority of industry news and blog posts regarding fashion are regarding “women’s fashion”.  Yes, we agree that this is border line unfair to men.  However, it is important to keep in mind that women tend to shop for clothing more frequently than men.  Obviously that is a general statement and is not always the case.  Some men shop more often than women, but we can possibly agree that the majority of shopping is traditionally done by females.  This would include mothers purchasing apparel for their boys and wives purchasing clothes for their husbands.

Although style bloggers typically write news geared toward the womenswear market, we sometimes write about men’s fashion as well.  If you enjoy men’s style, the good news is that this particular post is regarding shopping for “men’s clothing”.  So let’s get to it.
