Gonna second this.
My mother just passed at 90 yrs. Mom was/is a fashion maven, owned a boutique w/ hand sewn fashions. And so, going through her estate I grabbed a black, Columbia brand polar-fleece, zip front pull-over. Mom's is marked "Men 2x" -- The one I already own is the SAME EXACT PULL-OVER same physical size garment -- only marked "Women 3x".
Just got $50 worth of Senior Discount stuff from GoodWill: Cargo pants/shorts, short sleeve "golf" shirts, hoodies, pull-overs, tank tops . . . and a cotton tier skirt. Cis-woman staff says, "Nice stuff for the wife!" To which I noted, "I'm not married. This stuff is for me."
"You go girl!" and high five. Also, welcomed to try on clothes in the fitting area and not be timid. What's hilarious is that having my fashion background from mom, I show garment details to cis-women that they're not aware of, like fabric, pockets, sleeve setting, cuffs, pleats . . .
NOBODY CARES ! ! !
AND IN FACT MOST PEOPLE I MEET THINK IT'S LIBERATING AND REFRESHING THAT THIS "MAN" KNOWS PRETTY WHEN SHE SEES IT, UNDERSTANDS RUGGED DESIGN TOO!
Women buy and wear men's clothing all the time, ALL THE TIME. Mostly it's more rugged stuff, deeper pockets, fuller/looser cut, heavier fabric. No "gender" in those details!
