Yes I thought about it but it looks perhaps too classic and comon especially for men. I like the shape and style of a more classic "handbag"
Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant it as millions of men have carried a handbag (calling it a briefcase) for decades. The shape/size/style of bag carried shouldn't matter. I feel like any guy (or woman) who has carried a briefcase, or is ok with men carrying briefcases, but isn't ok with men carrying a different style handbag, is being a bit hypocritical. Some women like/carry more structured bags, some women like/carry softer bags. No reason men should be any different or restricted to just one style - the briefcase.
Exactly! Sometime I look over women/androgynous clothes because I like that clothe, that shirt or that pair of boots (not because they are for androgynous or for women but because I just like them), so I'd like to be able to pick up the clothe I want without asking myself to who that clothe is for... and then I realise I overthink too much about what people will think, what society will think about it...
I bought sunglasses that are initially for women because I loved them and thought they would look great but I was also a bit nervous what people would think. Sometime it would be just great to let people wear what they want.. but yes you are right there are some hypocrisy for men not being able to wear whatever they want :/
My driving sunglasses are actually men's sunglasses. In women's the lenses were either too small, or insanely oversized 'movie star hiding their face'; but the lenses in the men's were big enough to really protect my eyes on long drives, without being overdone.
A few of my favorite 'jackets' are actually men's button-down shirts - flannel for fall, cotton for summer evenings. No one ever gives me funny looks when I wear them. So not fair for people to give men funny looks if they wear something that may have originally been designed for women. I hate double standards!
There was a time when women were not allowed to wear trousers. Wearing jeans was even more unheard of as they were men's work clothes. Yet some ladies rocked them. Now they are women's basic clothing and we've come so far since those days, luckily. It's about the trail blazers. We see incluencers and celebs like EJ Johnson, Harry Styles and many more breaking the barriers for men. People just want to see others rocking their style. The meaning of who were the clothes and accessories made for originally is losing meaning.
And hey, Darth Vader wore a skirt. Doesn't get more badass than that!

Pretty much and women weren't allowed to wear pink because it was too bold a colour whereas the more demure blue was more appropriate for a woman.
