According to Research

iMarc research agency defines menswear as the category of clothing specifically designed and tailored for men. It encompasses a diverse range of garments and accessories that cater to various occasions, styles, and preferences. From formal business attire to casual wear, menswear reflects the ever-changing trends and cultural influences that shape men's fashion.

In the realm of formal wear, menswear typically includes suits, dress shirts, neckties, and dress shoes. Suits are a hallmark of professional attire, comprising jacket and matching trousers, often accompanied by a dress, shirt and tie. Variations in cuts, colors, and fabrics allow men to express their individuality within formal dress codes. For more casual settings, menswear encompasses a broad spectrum of options, including casual shirts, t-shirts, polo shirts, jeans, chinos, shorts, and jackets. These pieces offer versatility and comfort, catering to everyday activities and social gatherings.
