> my hips are out of alignment, so traditional mens clothing just doesn't work well. I've tried a dress once or twice but I don't like the look of them on me

That's a challenging one. Most fashion, for either sex, is designed around cinching at the waist, which pulls the eye to the symmetry of the hips (or lack thereof).

Possible options depend on whether you're looking to own your unique body shape and put it on display, or to obscure it.

Eg contemporary avante-garde styles that are intentionally non-symmetrical could be one way to proudly rock your body shape. IMHO these are not flattering on most people, but the right cut could look great on a naturally non-symmetrical body.

If you're wanting to blend in, you could look for clothing for plus size bodies that lack a waist. These tend to draw attention to the shoulders and upper torso. So unless you're going for a femme look, you'll probably want something designed for plus size men.

Think 90s men's styles, baggy trousers and layers of untucked shirts. Or designs inspired by non-European clothing, like middle eastern style robes, or the wound fabric clothing of the Indian subcontinent.
