You forgot the best part of it all: POCKETS! Pockets EVERYWHERE! I have men's jackets which have pockets big enough to carry whatever book I'm reading.

I loved the article! I also sometimes go browsing in the men's section and often find real gems. Also, in Europe, it's not uncommon to see that for two similar products, like a white t-shirt, a cashmere scarf, or a wool sweater, the women's products have a lower percentage of natural fibers and more polyester/acrylic (synthetic fibers)... for a higher price! It's called the "pink tax"... it really makes you want to shop in the men's section more often!

Completely agree with this. Have a men’s twill trucker from 3x1 that I got years ago on a work shopping trip (those were the best). It’s one of my favorite pieces in my closet. I’m short, so I struggle with fit, but these suggestions are excellent! Also very applicable for sweatshirts and sweaters.

My favorite coat in my closet is a simple black men’s number from Cos—it’s perfectly long and slouchy and makes me feel like an Olsen twin.
