I've written a sentence about a toupee: " Man toupees are not flattering, I would prefer a bald escort." In regards to using man v men's in the sentence which is preferred? Will either abide to grammar rules?

" Only men's is idiomatic. But if you are talking about toupees, the word is only used for men, so the word men's is redundant. You have joined two sentences incorrectly.
- " Only men's is idiomatic.

- You have joined two sentences incorrectly.
- Women do not commonly use the rather formal word 'escort' like this.
- I suggest "Toupees are not flattering.
