I just bought the down for it all men’s jacket in Size M yesterday for myself and i did try on the women’s one but it really was tight around my stomach area and chest and I like a loose fit to put a shirt on underneath but I can’t help but like feel like I just don’t look like the models wearing the women’s down for it all jacket and so I went for the men’s and It’s comfier, has a double zipper! I started looking at the men’s clothes and some of the stuff looks comfier so does anyone else by stuff from the men’s? Like I hate a tight fitting shirt around my chest / armpits (love a loose baggy tee) but all the women’s ones seem to be tighter (minus all yours tee, I know that).
I do!! 🙋🏻♀️ whenever I want non cropped regular length and non tight/slim fitting 😂
I’m very petite all around and so I probably wouldn’t fit most men’s stuff but I LOVE the men’s alpaca crew neck I got on wmtm a couple months ago!
The fit (in xs) is amazing, even better than a women’s oversized sweater on me for some reason (normally oversized sweaters are too bulky around my shoulders and upper arms).
It caught my eye because one of their female models was wearing it on the site. I would definitely check out the men’s section again!
As a tall person with a long torso, men’s shirts have been my go to for ages! Especially with the Team Canada line. I find the love shirts are too short on my torso, and the sleeves aren’t that long. The men’s line is a better fit length wise, and it’s a little looser, so it’s more comfortable to wear. Men’s shorts are hit or miss for me.
I wear a men’s down puffer as well. The women’s one barely hit my hips in the regular fit, but the men’s one covers my butt and the sleeves are long enough for me to cover my hands without gloves.
I buy men’s coats/jackets regularly, since a lot of stores don’t carry tall women’s sizes. I’m average height for a male where I am, so the most I have to size for is my hips. Shirts/stretchy pants I’m a medium, but for coats I’m usually a large.

Oh yes. I also appreciate the simplicity of S/M/L sizing
I am shameless in my love for oversized clothes though. Tight bottoms don’t bother me but if a shirt is pulling anywhere I lose my shit.

I’m sized out on a lot of women’s items unfortunately so it has crossed my mind…like a vest for example. I would love to own a LLL vest and I’m not a fan of the seasonal colors that came out in women’s size 20 (lilac and light aqua). I’m not sure how men’s sizes would work with my wide hips though (48.5") so that’s the only reason I haven’t tried anything yet. That and, I don’t have a store nearby to try, so I’d have to order/return which I hate doing.
I did order a men’s size XL vest in another brand, because they didn’t have a plus size option in women’s styles and it does fit albeit, it does become a little tighter than I’d like at the hips when zipped.
Curious to hear what others have to say and their experiences in wearing mens LL!
What’s mine is mine and what’s my husband’s is also mine. 🙃
But for real, yes. I’m an oversized shirt (men’s metalvent) and biker shorts (align 6 in) kinda gal. I love looser fitting clothing so men’s is where it’s at. The drysence (?) Hoodie is a fav and even pace breaker 5 ins are super comfy lounge wear.

As a fat person, having access to men’s clothing is very nice. Unfortunately not all of us have a snatched waist and the women’s cuts tend to have narrower waists. I got a men’s cross chill jacket because it didn’t suffocate me in the middle, the women’s one did
Yes, Steady States for the oversized cozy look. They are softer than scubas.
Interesting conversation going on here. I think that for the most part, most of LLL stuff can be and should be simply labeled as unisex. Obvious exceptions would be articles like bras.
it’s also interesting that a lot of the commentary is about looser clothes, hence the draw towards the men’s line. For me, it’s the opposite (guy by the way). Besides the fact that I generally find the women’s line superior, I prefer the closer fitting articles for my yoga, Pilates, and running. Because of that, I’ve got a lot of and wear the women’s leggings and tanks (aligns). For the tops, it’s annoying when the men’s tops flow all over the place - especially with downward facing poses. The align tanks solved all of that for me.
Great read through all the comments!

I super wish I could! The guys get way better shorts options! They have been sold out forever of 8" inseam shorts for women in Canada with pockets and 6" are chafe city for this swole sister.

For trail running, I wanted loose fitting, lightweight shorts, with a long inseam. I could never find these types of shorts for women so I got the men’s Pace Breaker Linerless Short 7" and they are a dream.
