Oh that's clever. Recently there's been a lot of womens shorts that have that flap across the front to make it look skirt-like.
I believe the term is scooter.

Re: Necklace as... neck tie?

I would say that necklace on bare skin can look splendid , if there is a lack of prominent chest hair. (My own chest is much too hairy). Other wise, wear a necklace over a shirt? BTW, notice that some of the men have loosened their ties. Must have been a bit warm for the men, not so much for the lad...

Re: Hypothethical Question

I once discussed this with a male manager that I reported to about 15 years ago, and his reply regarding the necktie is that we don’t want to see open necks because some men have chest hair sticking out two inches from their collar. The necktie prevents this. It is surprising to me that these men w...

Re: Men's? Unisex? Or Women's?

I've been over thinking this. Two revolutions:

1. Skirted rigs.

2. Modes of expression-which are compatible with trousers (nail polish, jewelry, cologne, handbags, etc.).

Note that both 1 and 2 could proceed in parallel to the other.

Re: Men's? Unisex? Or Women's?

I should have explained what I meant by twin revolutions. For men: One revolution is skirt like garments gaining traction. Another is dress like (or robe like) garments gaining traction. I have also wondered if another revolution-one of personal expression-could gain traction. I'm thinking of nail p...

Re: Men's? Unisex? Or Women's?

On the other hand, we should consider another of the twin revolutions.

Noticed that Purple Rain not only has hiking skirts/"kilts", but also hiking dresses. Seems to me that there could be a niches that remains unfilled-a hiking dress for men.

Re: Dua Lipa’s SNL performance featuring skirted male dancers

It occurred to me that I may have excessively pessimistic in some of my posts. Regarding the time scale for MIS catching on.

Maybe younger people are a bit more open minded than I anticipated. I am cautiously optimistic now.

Re: Hypothethical Question

Getting back to the original spirit of the question. At the moment I feel in the UK I have every freedom to choose any skirt with no particular rules to male dressing except for my own style rules, which I am at liberty to bend as I see fit. If skirts became common as male dressing, would rules com...

Re: International Men Can Wear Dresses Day

I am 67 years old. I gave up on women twenty years ago. Over the years I have had platonic friendships with a few women, but never any luck romantically. First started looking seriously for a girl friend when I was 29. When I was 47 I noticed that I was getting a bit too old to start raising a famil...

Re: Hypothethical Question

We are all on a gender spectrum. Some of us are more masculine and some of us are in the middle, and some of us are more feminine. The Man-Box teaches us that “feminine is bad” and also that we don’t have a feminine side. Women accept their masculine side because they don’t have a Woman-Box to gove...

Re: Hypothethical Question

1. Only skirts in manly color palettes like black, brown, blue, and gray will be accepted. No baby blue, pastel or the colors. What shade of black, brown, blue, or gray would you like? 2. Only skirts made from heavy material are accepted so that they will appear to be really masculine. No light and...

Re: Dua Lipa’s SNL performance featuring skirted male dancers

Noticed that the performers were much younger than me. (I am 67 years old).
