Downtown Toronto for a show this evening. Saw a young (early 20s?) man on a skateboard with a knee length flowing skirt. Muted black & blue colours, but with a polkadot type pattern. Also his hair in a small "man-bun".

In general he looked right at home - great to see!

Please do not use the term "man-bun". It is just a "bun". When women wear a bun, we don't call it a "woman bun". It is just a bun. Terms like "man-bun" are actually harmful to obtaining fashion equality for men. We do not have to differentiate things as for men or women. Clothing is clothing and in sexless as is hair.

I sometimes wear a bun.. my bun, nobody elses. At the moment I just tie it back, at at night let it out. Like Seb, my hair is down to the small of my back..
My wife plats it sometimes. not a man plat, just a plat.

I saw a couple of guys wearing kilts whilst walking around my local town today! They were tartan kilts but were definitely being worn casually and were not dressed up for a special occasion!

I went shopping at Lidl supermarket for a change. I was dressed in my usual long tiered skirt, a pair of black fishnet tights, Doc Marten boots with long black socks and tank top with black waistcoat. Whilst there I seen a guy about late 20s wearing mini skirt, black ripped fishnet tights and Doc Marten boots. It was good to see another guy wearing.
