if it looked well? Very often the difference can be very slight?. Bought a fab and funky man's shirt monday but would look great on any woman....My Mum often wears a man's coat as sometimes the fit is better....I know the odd woman who wears men's shoes again as they sometimes fit better . My brother on the other hand would run from a pair of ladies jeans even if they suited him very well, which actually happened once as Dad didn't realise they were labelled as being for a girl, but they would have suited hime very well!

I buy t-shirts from the teenage boys department. Cheaper and they have better one. I'd rather wear something with Sonic the Hedgehog on it than a patterned top.

I do for things like trainers/converse, they tend to have more of a selection for men, and women seem to get a dull collection...

I haven't actually got any mens' clothes now though. I use to shop in the boys section when I was about 11/12 because I was a tomboy then, so had basketball strips, boys jeans etc.

I always buy Tshirts from the men's range...usually preferthe design, although sometimes I have to adjust the neckline an sleeves depending on the cut. I used to buy cargo pants from the men's range (back when I wore them).

I have a very old selection of stiff white grandad shirts that used to be part of my Dad's officers uniform. They're gorgeous

Funny you should ask...

Tried on a pair of Hilfiger jeans the other day in the clearance sale at TK Maxx - they were a size 29' waist and as I'm 27', I couldn't understand why they were a little tight.

Anyway, when I went to pay for them, the item description at the till came up as 'menswear' which obviously explained the tightness (round the hip area), but someone had placed them in the women's section. I kinda panicked and wondered whether I should get them after all. I asked the opinion of the girl on the till and she said 'well they are only £6.00 and you did try them on...'

Yeah, I got them! I won't be repeating it though, 'cos whilst a bargain, the bum area isn't quite right.

I probably wear more mens stuff than womens.

Find it more comfy. got a dislocated Left shouder and mens or now unisex stuff does up the better way round for having that arm in a sling alot of the time. So started wearing mens stuff in the late 80's and then found that it was no different to the womens stuff I was buying originally except for a couple of pound cheaper on the vast majority of things such as jogging bottoms, sports tops.

Gap boys stuff fits me pretty well - I always have a rummage around in the sale, specially for jackets and other winter outdoor gear.

I quite like the styling, as long as it doesnt have GAP emblazoned all across the chest...but that would go for the adult stuff too.

Over the years Ive also bought guys jackets and woolies from Next and Asda...just need to roll the sleeves up a wee bit.

I always wear mens hoodies and obviously mens football jerseys. I find mens clothing a lot nicer.

I wear mostly womens clothes, I just think they look and feel better thans mens, I recently brought a pair of flair jeans and love them. Though with tops I tend to get ones that could be seen as ok for a man to wear.

I don't take this thread with any sort of ridicule mind. Nothing wrong with a bit of light hearted fun though. But seriously, I wear whatever I want. Drab just isn't me 24/7. I like a bit of color and something soft sometimes. After a stressful day or pretty much a hard time, it's nice to put on something soft and cool. Nothing sexual in it whatsoever, just something to relax in.

Before you ask. yes, I am sitting here typing this while wearing a dress, I don't care. I've had a bad day.
