Men In Skirts

[Christopher31]

That skater dude looks cool.... why is everyone so biased against men wearing skirts except in a traditonal sense? I personally think skirts look awesome on guys!

i went to the men in skirts exhibit at the v&a a few years ago...

men used to always wear skirts... men have been wearing trousers for less time than they have been wearing skirts! its a fact!

but anyways.... ummm within the context they have nowadays most men would be ridiculed...

but i think if they can pull it off they will rock..

Oki-dokey, but...

"During Paris fashion week, male models strutted down John Galliano’s first ever men’s wear show for Dior Homme wearing skirts in different styles."

Galliano for Dior Homme?

I guess you can't believe everything you hear. I assume the writer was thinking about Gallianos first menswear show, and jusnt quite aware as to what it was.

SKIRTING THE ISSUE

BRAD PITT has predicted that skirts will be the mainstay of style-conscious men's wardrobes next season. The American actor, whose latest film, Troy, is released this week, says he expects fashionable fans to be inspired by the Greek-style skirts that he wore to play Achilles. "Men will be wearing skirts by next summer," he told reporters at the film's world premiere, in Berlin, this weekend. "That's my prediction and proclamation. The film answers to both genders. We were going for realism and Greeks wore skirts all the time then." (May 10 2004, AM)

If the up-coming menswear collections will feature lots of skirts, like Fall, then, yes, Brad may have a point cause the film and collections will co-incide.

And this is from Galliano:-)

 

[mikeijames]

kilts...yes, sarongs.... , but this...is just dirty old man (isn't that what galliano was actually getting at? something slightly perverse?)

 

[nqth]

I actually think the boxer gets attention (rather than the skirt:-) and will, well, sell.

About 2 years ago I was in the West Vill (NYC) at the 4st station and I never will forget when saw I this very attractive young woman , she definatly caught my eye and as I got closer I saw she was with this guy with dreds. a wifebeater, Pucca shell necklace, a batik sarong and dime store flip flops. This guy wore it with as much confidence as if he were wearing jeans. He did not even expect anyone to look at him twice, and no one did either. This guy was SUPER COOL!!!!!!!! He was all super BOHO yet confident as hell. This guy was very comfortable with himself and the girl could not get enough of him.

YO GO BRO!!

I wear them.

I have a lavalava, 2 sarongs, 3 dishdashas, a simple custom
knee length denim skirt, a skirt design that comes to my ankles
in 5 different materials: stretch denim, stretch black denim,
grey corduroy, light blue corduroy I also have another own skirt design
that is convertible into pants or shorts in 3 different materials:
microfiber, tencel denim, and nylon. I have 2 Macabiskirts.
I have a corduroy knee length box pleated skirt I designed.
I also have a kilt, which cost as much as all the others combined
probably. It is my least comfortable skirt for men. In my own
designs, I don't have to watch how I sit. I can just plop myself
down and not worry, and sit like a man. But with a kilt, since it
is so short, I have to watch it. I go for a masculine image.
I usually wear a beard, and I wear my skirts with otherwise normal
men's clothes such as sweaters, t-shirts, turtlenecks, socks, boots,
shoes, jackets, etc. in place of pants or shorts.

If any male were to give comfortable skirts an honest try, and
get over the fear, then you would feel wrong putting pants on
after that. What I mean by comfortable is something you can move
around in, walk in and sit in comfortably.
Skirts are very ergonomic and comfortable for men.
The only problem is you really have to BE a man to wear a skirt
as a man.

Et simmost!
