Call me Corporal Clinger, but I've said it before and I'll say it again...it's more fun to eye shop for the girlfriend than for my own self. It seems that men's style and quality just crashed to disposable levels in the 80s onwards while women at least kept the cool floral patterns, occasional quality pieces, and whatnot going.
Certainly much easier, and therefore cheaper, to repop women's stuff as well. (It's only more hassle and expense for them in the underwear department.) A lot of it too has to do with the fact that men are so herd-minded these days, so afraid of stnading out or being considered "gay" or such if they show too much of an interest in clothes. Fragile masculinity strikes again.
