They should do a stuff pack for men.
With how they neglect men so much, maybe a stuff pack just for men could be an idea? It could come with a free update that adds body hair, the stuff pack could add some additional body hair option...

All jokes aside, the game has very little to offer for casual regular clothes, especially pants, for male Sims that isn't so faddish that it's ridiculous looking to many of us when it first came out, and looked hopelessly dated soon thereafter. I was really surprised when I fired up my old Sims3 disc, at how the clothing wasn't jarring or hideously dated-looking, for the most part. Becauswe back then, I guess the franchise avoided anything too faddish, too intensely trendy, and stayed with more basic, classic apparel, possibly for that reason.
So... I have never actually seen ANYONE of any age of gender wearing fripping Hammer Pants, since I was in high school and even then, it was only the most daring who did, and then briefly. Like that instant in the mid-80s when shirts with long split "tails" were in? Blink and you'd miss it, and you never see it in depictions of 80's styles. That looks was almost out the moment it was on the racks. So too, the saggy diaper pants.
So there are like one or two styles of jeans I can put on my male Sims, if they are not the flamboyant types. I regularly disable gender designations in clothing my Sims so that all options are available, but men are hard up for any dignity in this game, clothing wise, at least for pants. If a guy wants to tight-roll or wear highwaters, clamdiggers, capri pants for all I care, it's his business. But if he wants to just wear unremarkable classic jeans that aren't cut in any flashy or outdated way, or obviously emo or other ostentatious style, he has like 2 choices. Or one of them might be "pants" rather than jeans, I forget. Oh well, who needs more than 2 pairs of pants anyway, plus a pair of sweats.
But there need not be a specially marketed needlessly gendered pack for it, if the game would just stop being so slanted toward YA females as it currently seems to be. Maybe most players these days are from that demographic...gee, I wonder why.
I'd like some Carhartt and Dickies-esque choices that look realistic. The pants with the thigh toolkit are good, except that sometimes you want the pants without the toolkit on them. And the cargo pants are okay.
And...can we lose the B cups in the culinary uniform top? I figure it was an attempt to make a uniform top that could be seen as either having visible boobage, or be interpreted as pecs, but that in no way passes as pecs or even moobs on a male Sim. Maybe a better solution if boobage has to show in that uniform top, is have two versions of it: one with, and one without, the boobage.
