Words that rhyme with Menswear
Menswear reads as a low-register anchor on the page; phonetically it's two-syllable, anchored on the r-coloured schwa, ending where it trails through a flowing liquid. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Two readings: as data โ nothing matches this word strictly, family rhymes come up empty, the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use; as lyric โ a plain-speech anchor. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why menswear rhymes the way it does
The phonology of menswear is a two-syllable core: the rhotic schwa (/ษหr/), then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 270, assonance 6,283, and consonance 1013. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Menswear is a word that benefits from the second pass.
