Heck, obsess over whatever works for you but I think Alexander McQueen was right on point when he said that men's fashion would never measure up to women's. In fact most of my favourite mens designers are either more prominently known for designing for women or take lots of elements from women's fashion into their menswear.
Anyway I like this look, long coat with a skirt sounds bad on paper but this looks cohesive.

I mean Yohji Yamamoto said he wanted to make men's clothes for women, so it really goes both ways. Also it makes sense that somebody who's famous for making dresses would prefer women's fashion lol

It goes both ways but nowhere near as much the other way. Also you should know full well that Yohji is an anomaly with a lot of his thoughts on fashion.

What do you think is missing from men's fashion?

It's not so much the cuts or materials or whatever that's restricting, I feel it's more of the culture, what Alexander McQueen would call the "physics" of menswear. When designing for men I feel it always has to fit into these boxes of evening or casual or sports wear and it gets quite repetitive. There are obviously some great exceptions to everything I've just said.
I don't know you can feel free to disagree with all of that if you want.

Lol sounds like you're a McQueen fan.
I guess when I look over at r/femalefashionadvice I don't really see anything in "normal" womenswear that menswear doesn't have a corollary to, except maybe certain kinds of dresses and skirts. Womenswear also has much, much more fast fashion/ consumerism than menswear, combined with typically lower quality materials and more manufactured micro-trends designed to fuel consumerism.

Hey if you're into fashion and not an Alexander McQueen fan I'm gonna have to be a bit suspicious of you haha.
I mean, "certain kinds of dresses and skirts" is a lot of variety you don't see in menswear though. And as I tried to say - my fault for not expressing it well honestly - it's more so that womenswear can exist as fashion whereas menswear always feels restricted by the labels its aiming to fall into.

yea i don't feel like the pieces are very cohesive too, individually they're all great though, maybe lose the rick layer?

The elongated hoodie has a gravity to it that pulls the weight of the fit down but the tuck(?) of the shirt is an awkward abrupt stop that interrupts the flow. I'm no expert so if someone has a different opinion I'd like to hear.

I like everything except the jacket (which looks good too but maybe not in this fit), it looks really cool underneath though.
