As a trans person who has shopped for both mens and womens clothes, I can confirm that womens clothes are A LOT more expensive than mens - and women are expected to buy more as well. I donāt mean that women are expected to love shopping and want loads of outfits (although that expectation certainly contributes), I mean that womens shirts are sheer and they are expected to wear stuff underneath them, while mens shirts are opaque. Womens tops are flimsy so they have to wear cardigans or jumpers, mens tops are thicker and they can get away without. Womens clothes donāt have pockets so theyāre forced to buy bags to carry stuff.
There is only one single exception to this that I can found. And that is underwear. I donāt mean lingerie like the Victoriaās Secret stuff above, I mean basic knickers vs basic boxers. A multipack of 7 knickers from Primark costs about Ā£4. A multipack of 3 boxers from Primark costs Ā£7. That is literally the only exception that Iāve found.
Of course, considering that a lot of women also wear bras that tiny concession ceases to be a factor once you add in the cost of a bra. Even a basic Primark one costs about Ā£6 for one. That basic bras arenāt supportive, comfortable, long lasting, or anything else you need from a bra.
So yeah, men might pay a lot for their clothes. But women pay a lot more.
