Update your Sim’s closet with trendy wardrobe staples. Fluid shapes add intrigue to any outfit, while zippers, cutouts, and pleats lend everyday outfits a touch of the contemporary.
Experiment with Style
Refined and subversive, these looks reinvigorate the basics. Play with scalloped or pleated skirts and latticed sweaters, or pair a polished shirtdress with iconic loafers to model up-and-coming culture.
I'll never be against the idea of men dressing the way they want even if it's not seen as "traditional". But boy, was seeing this a punch to the gut IMMEDIATELY after everyone has been talking about how many cool ideas for a pack for our Sim Men.
After looking a Stefan Cooke's designs on his Instagram, I'm a bit... well, underwhelmed to be honest.
I know that players have been asking to 'push the boat out' when it comes to menswear, but this wasn't quite what I envisioned. I guess designs that are more on par with Moschino maybe, and I really liked that pack, just wish there were more swatches.
Despite that, I like to have a complete collection so I'll probably pick it up anyway. Who knows, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Sims 4 Wish List:
> Option to toggle on/off random townie generation.
> Turn vacation worlds into residential worlds.
> Option to purchase separate worlds or a world pack.
I feel like they included skirts so they could add something for female sims. Like some men can and do wear skirts, but the "pushing boundaries" angle is just an excuse to include clothing meant to appeal to girls in this menswear pack. Regular menswear fashion is severely underdeveloped in this game, especially stuff that isn't runway chic or basic as heck.
Honestly, I don't get the appeal from the screenshots. The skirts are basic as hell, and I already have men in better-looking skirts in my game. I kinda like that yellow sweater, but everything else looks basic. (I know I'm using this word a lot, but you get me right?) I guess I could download this pack if I want my game to generate a bunch of male townies in skirts.

At first I was a bit disappointed because I don't like the look of the items in the pic The Sims first tweeted, but then I saw the blog post and there's definitely some good stuff. Some nice looking shoes and trousers for instance. I will have to see an overview of the items of course, but I am curious about this kit. There are still some basic items missing for males but those should come with a free BG update.
Oh wait, I actually do have words. Sims can have more to wear to their Ugly Sweater Parties this year. Yay!
Edited to add a later post I made, which was removed due to an inadvertent swear word I had used (sorry 'bout that):
Just to be clear, I personally have no problem with men in skirts and the like. I just have a problem with unattractive styles, and in my eyes these are not attractive at all. We already have enough ugly male clothing in the game. We don't need more. But the good news is that this one leaves me free of having to make a buy-or-not decision.

FYI: Just because you can see my signature, don't assume that I can see yours.
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
I'm excited and disappointed at the same time if that's possible lol. I almost jumped through the roof when I heard of a men's kit!! Though I did not see everything it has I'm already not feeling the feminine styles and Christmas sweaters. Not when there are a bazillion super awesome male styles out there 😭😭😭 A ton in that men's fashion thread by one of the members here. I can't think of their name now but I think it starts with a G.
I wonder what they thought would happen if they made this a manly man kit....
No offense to those of you who likes to wear skirts. 😉
SKIRTS FOR MEN SKIRTS FOR MEN SKIRTS FOR MEN SKIRTS FOR MEN!!!
I've been relying on untagging the "Masculine" category and/or using CC for male skirts for forever, and now we'll finally have some officially!!!
Hey, I'm Milo (he/him)! I love The Sims 4, and I've been playing it since December of 2020. My Sims bestie and forums bestie is Gonnawin1111, aka V.
I don't think I'll ever understand the appeal. But at least it's something different from the glut of comfycore sweaters we've been getting, and are still getting.
This is why I‘m not going to get the kit. Nothing against you or males that wear skirts but it’s just not my cup of tea.
No offense taken. Honestly, I don't want my men in skirts unless I decide it. Or the game glitches and gives male sims female clothing, like it did with Alexander Goth.

I find this cool but I expected ppl to be upset that it's not "traditional" menswear. I mean it's normal for woman to wear pants or masculine styles so why not men? I feel it's because feminity is seen as "bad" and etc.
But anyways I think it's cool... it's not like it's just skirts. It has pants and sweaters too. A lot of clothes in the feminine category are not "traditionally" feminine so it makes sense for them to add some non traditional menswear to the masculine category.
Me reading the news: We're finally getting a men's fashion kit! Perhaps this could be the first kit I will buy.
Me watching the pictures: Skirts?!? Ok, another kit I won't buy.
I prefer more normal looking clothing, I like to dress my sims in outfits that look like something that you would wear on a normal day. They are not interested in fashion and are not trying to push any boundaries. There are not many boundaries to be pushed when the normal looking clothes are so few anyway.

We'll still need a picture thread. 😄

tbh I'd rather just have the menswear first
though i would vibe with that oversized shirt and skirt combo (white tshirt one) for my sims cause oversized is a yes... but eh
