Re: Male fashion freedom in movies and series set to modern times?
A few more: -In the FX series "Fargo" Season 5, one of the male characters is always wearing a skirt. He is introduced a few scenes after a teenage girl is called a crossdresser for wearing a suit and I don't think that is a coindence. At some point somebody asks about him saying "hav...

Re: Women wearing skirts
I know that women wearing skirts is a bit off topic in this section, but I have something to relate that I found interesting. I retired from university teaching earlier this year and, while my university email account closed with my retirement, some former colleagues and a few students have my priv...

Male fashion freedom in movies and series set to modern times?
Nobody seems to notice when men wear skirts/kilts/dresses/pantyhose/high heels/makeup/etc. in movies and series set way past in history or the future because they are not relatable. Or they are trying to pass as a woman or it is portrayed as some sort of joke which doesn't help at all. Seeing them i...

Re: Coworker started showing me pictures of him in selfmade skirts
OK that's all good. Honestly I'd say go for it. If you find yourself to be properly uncomfortable then you can brush it off as a joke. If you come home with smile on your face... That could be the green light to wearing a skirt to work (occasionally) and build up to a more general look. if there ar...

Re: Coworker started showing me pictures of him in selfmade skirts
So I checked the company guidelines on dressing and found only a few mentions: -For certain roles we buy you the clothes and the choices are safety and practicality related. In these jobs no sane person would ever wear something with hems anyway so skirts and dresses are not allowed for women either...

Re: Coworker started showing me pictures of him in selfmade skirts
The idea of both of us marching in skirted is intriguing and it came to me as well and I’m sure both and either one of us would get away with it easily when it comes to our coworkers. However it could be only done on an internal recreational event because the rest of the time I dress to represent th...

Coworker started showing me pictures of him in selfmade skirts
I work as a manager at a fairly large IT company. I handle big clients so at work I dress quite formally and also act like it. I rarely go the office anymore but the last visit is one to remember. I had an off-topic hallway conversation with one of our newer team leads who I don’t know that well. He...

Re: Skort Question
If anyone uses an online AI, it would be interesting to know what the computer thinks. I consulted ChatGPT on this and a few bonus questions to see it’s views and this is what is says: 1. Are skorts only for females? ChatGPT Skorts are not exclusively for females, although they are more commonly as...

Re: Fired because of a skirt
Ok, he was wearing the skirt as a sign of protestation, but it clearly shows that there's still a long way to go for men before to live in peace if they want to wear a skirt! I'ts quite hard to say what the actual reason for firing him was. At work I have to deal with self-entitled inviduals who ha...

Re: Finnish news media, again: "Sari, sarong or wrap?" (full translation included)
Quite encouraging really. I wonder if in the original language this was a language joke. :) Yes, it was a language joke in the original Finnish text :D Google Translate didn't however catch it so I modified the translation to better reflect the intended meaning. Maybe lost in translation. Headless ...

Quite encouraging really. With hindsight, it can be said that in those days when the guillotine was in fashion, identifying with the wrong social class would have been completely headless .

Finnish news media, again: "Sari, sarong or wrap?" (full translation included)
I've noticed lately that the Finnish news media is writing more and more about skirts for men. This time the most prestigious newspaper in Finland published a column about it.

Topi, 26, who wears skirts, wants to break the norms: "I'm often mistaken for gay"
The Finnish media is again writing about a man who wears skirts. This time the magazine is the biggest yellow media publication in Finland which can already be seen in the headline (about 50% of population reads this magazine). The guy in the article is actually the TikTokker I wrote about here http...
