Seriously, If You're Only Going To Create Designs For Women, Just Genderlock

I honestly don't get the problem, but maybe because in this day and age....I've had to spend money on black pants meant for guys with deeper pockets in them because the black pants they make for women suck and apparently, we're not allowed to have deep pockets!

Men have weird sizing for their pants though, I mean, I get why and all...but it's just weird...lol.

Pockets!? Get out of here with that heresy! How are butts supposed to look good with pockets!? Think about the important issues.

The sweater can be masculine, if we are talking about JP fashion. There's a movement called "Mori," which emphasizes layering, earth tones, and understated fashion. Mori girl and Mori boy. Mori means "forest."

A good blog post defining Mori boy style.

I think jp fashion has a heavier element on costuming than western stuff, and it borrows a lot from foreign trends as much as they innovate themselves. Here is a lovely slideshow by google arts and culture showing some of the trends.. This isn't as much of an issue in the west; i mean, stuff like classic punk is close to it, but I don't think it's as much of a force now.

I do think Magic Mal has a point. Unisex is ok, but they do need more masculine unisex options as well.

That 1988 Shibuya casual style looks very close to the new spring set we have now.. she's just wearing full jeans instead of shorts.

I prefer looser fitting clothes to tight fitting ones lol.

I'd avoid Mals "mens sweaters" like the plague.

A couple of them were looking rather tight, especially that red one :X And now that I'm really looking at them, some are quite preppy..but overall that selection is probably more in line with 'normal' guy sweaters. Last time I went shopping for one was never, so I could be wrong

Nevermind sweaters, I would much prefer some kind of fancy open blazer style jacket for the guys instead.

What's the taoist's set?

I highly doubt them gender locking Feminine looking glam would solve anything. It sounds like what you want is just more glamour tailored specifically for males and even that's subjective. I'm all for more glamour designs designed only for males, but it's pretty obvious that feminine styles will be the most sought after for both genders.

People from an old thread that were asking for feminine glams for guys would argue with you lol

I personally don't see what's the big deal, if you don't like that something looks too feminine on your guy character then just don't use it, there is plenty of other good pieces for glamour.
Plus the new coat doesn't look that bad (pants and boots can be easily replaced), Spring Bottoms turn into pants for guys and the shirt doesn't look that feminine to me tbh. And where I live there are plenty of people that I see wearing similar sweaters to what we have in game. I've even seen guys wearing uggs simply because they're really warm and black ones look pretty neutral imo.

Gender-locking some things will upset those people who actually like those.

Personally I'd rather see them adding more cool fantasy armour to the game as opposed to items that are clearly designed after real life fashion sensebilities. But I guess that idea of having a coherent immersion died along with 1.0 and people would rather have their characters look like fashion models than adventurers.

Androgyny is fab, yo.

You are worrying about Gender specific attire in a game were guys are running around in the bunny outfit.

I disagree with you STRONGLY. Maybe people want to be feminine men, or masculine women or maybe somewhere between. Gender and gender expression are NOT binary things, and I find it great that SE to a certain degree respects that by making both genders able to wear most gear they want. Genderlocking is something I hate tbh, let everyone wear whatever they want if that is what makes them happy.

Personally I think that everyone should be allowed to pick the masculine or feminine "version" of the gear when they equip it, but I do realize that it would be a lot of work to do, or even just have one or the other.
