    A man's dresser is just called a dresser. There is typically no difference in design between dressers used by women and men. The term dresser refers to a type of storage furniture. It's typically used to connote a chest of drawers that is used primarily to store clothing

    Hundreds of years ago, the term gentleman's dresser was used to describe a piece of storage furniture that is characterized by specific attributes. It features a tall cabinet area ideally sized for hanging trousers, suits and ties, and smaller drawers for organizing items like socks, undergarments and handkerchiefs. 

    Most tall dressers offer anywhere from five to seven drawers, essentially allowing for the organization of an entire wardrobe, while shorter, waist-height dresser varieties can be equipped with a convenient vanity mirror. When shopping for your antique or vintage dresser, consider those that bear the hallmarks of solid construction.
