Trousers, Women have more....

Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

Since skirts are going extinct because women don’t wear them anymore, then it should be easier for men to take possession of them and incorporate them into their wardrobes. After all women have taken EVERY ITEM from men’s fashion. There is nothing left. Even men’s clunky shoes, wingtips, combat boots and other masculine shoes - you can find every one of these styles in the women’s shoe department at Nordstrom.

I notice since so few women wear dresses it doesn't seem shocking at all for people to see me wearing a dress. If it was common for women to wear dresses I would cause much more of a reaction.

Could be the same reason it is easy for me to wear skirts here in the UK.
Daily, a happy man in a skirt...

I don't think women have taken anything from men. Women are much more open in their approach to clothes, and marketers take advantage of that by catering to their tastes. The same would be true for men if the manufacturers had the slightest reason to believe that it could be profitable. It's all about 💰💰💰
