Male Spring Bottoms. What the hell?

[Iscah]

I'll remind you of this post the next time a dress comes out and it's nothing like any dress released in the game thus far, because where's your "it's the same clothing item so it should look the same" god then? Two of those pants are the exact same model with a different color scheme when one of them is something you have to buy with real money for the wedding. That just shouldn't happen.

What I mean is, that example isn't an issue with the game, it's an issue with men's vs women's formal wear. Suits are more uniform than dresses. In a real-life wedding the groom and best man will most likely be wearing variations on the same suit, while the bride and bridesmaid's dresses will be different. All three of those costumes call for that style of pants, or they won't look right - and they've actually gone to some effort to make the third set (butler, I'm assuming) look unique instead of just recolouring the same plain pants again.

I'm not saying there's no issue with variety in men's pants overall, just that these are not a good example of what the issue is. (eg. a better example might be showing three sets of equivalent male and female equipment where the female version is interesting and the male version is plain pants again.)

What do you think they should have done differently with these three specific pairs of pants, while still keeping them looking like formal suit pants?
