Skirts to Shorts
Skirts to Shorts
We've had some discussions here recently about the heat wave rebellion where men and boys are donning skirts to pressure their employers to permit them to wear shorts. I thought this NYT article from June did a pretty good treatment of the phenomenon, including its ramifications for men who just want to wear skirts. Some snippets:
"they reveal our own strange prejudices against men in shorts, and our growing level of comfort with men in skirts. That’s a pretty notable development."
"After all, though the shorts protesters were not suggesting that they wanted to wear skirts as a rule, the ease with which they adopted the garment, and the geniality of the reaction to their sartorial statement, certainly suggested a breaking down of traditional dress prejudice."

From the front those skirts look pretty basic; a slightly A-shaped plaid skirt. Masculine.
