Maybe part of why mens clothes don't sell as well is because its the same thing that gets made over and over. I don't think it's really valid to compare poser/ds clothing to the average guy's closet in the real world because of the variety of clothing you see on tv and movies. If you're gauging what's in you male characters wardrobe to what's in your own and using the same 4 shirts and 2 pairs of pants on your characters then its going to result in a pretty boring comic visually, even if you do change up the color patterns. Like I said earlier men's clothing sales have grown pretty significantly in the last few years and the styles have evolved. You can go to google and type in contemporary mens clothing, or any key word like hoodie, jacket, athletic wear, etc and find scads of different styles and options for men. But in Poser/DS, we get the same boring polo shirts, button ups and jeans. Here's a screen cap of just a handful of the images I've collected and am still collecting just for modern men's clothes. I have tons of them and am always finding more. I save save them so I can use them as reference for the men's clothes I'm working on. And that's just the modern stuff. I have folders for historical, fantasy and sci fi as well. Combine some ideas and come up with your own and it doesn't take long to produce a decent collection.
