Re: Icon-Icon: The men’s fashion trends for spring-summer 2023

There was a long (15 pages) blog about Mark Bryan on MumsNet, starting in October 2020 https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4052253-Man-making-skirts-non-gender?page=1. Most of the comments seem to be from UK-based women, and are generally rather critical. Wow, mixed opinions for sure. Some p...

Re: yahoo! entertainment: ‘This is not a drill’: Fans react to Taika Waititi wearing a skirt at the MTV EMAs

I wonder if Taika's skirt is not dissimilar to what men wear back in Fiji, Tonga, or one of those Pacific islands in which it's perfectly normal as a sulu / lavalava? Looks great, and interesting seeing womens reaction to his outfit in the comments :wink:

Re: Icon-Icon: The men’s fashion trends for spring-summer 2023

Excellent find Coder, you have a knack for finding these. Being a computer guy, can you do a search for how many MIS articles there are a month or year? It seems in the last two years there’s been an uptick? I know on social media the number of hashtags for men in skirts has skyrocketed. For whatev...

Re: Legs on TV

Back in the day I used to watch the Sky News weather every day in the hope of seeing Lucy Verasamy wearing a tight skirt and high heels. It didn’t matter what the weather forecast was, the sun always shone when she was on weather duty! Then she moved onto weather forecasting on breakfast TV and tha...

Re: Why Men Stopped Wearing Skirts

Most of the time, I prefer to wear trousers (pants). They are more practical, warmer and require less thinking about when sitting etc. Skirts for me are a change from the usual, or else for doing something more serene like reading or a gentle walk in the park on a warm day, or shopping, or watching...

Re: Skirts, the wearing of.

I've picked and picked my brain as to how the man's skirt totally fell out of use in western society. When they are so absolutely comfortable. And can be worn by anyone. One measurement Is all you have to get right and it fits. No answer obviously. :wink: The answer is really very simple, and it li...

Re: Haruco-Vert

The skirts look good, though I prefer an A line or pencil... good to see the models don't look too ridiculous either. The guy doesn't look embarrassed as I used to see on catwalks :wink:

Re: Made it easier?

Non-binary cast a very large net of people who are neither this nor that. And for many gender is a complicated matter of the inner workings of how their minds and souls are wired up. I think the current popularity of "non-binary" (whatever that means this week) [0] may largely be down to ...

Re: The Herald: Eddie Izzard and our strange attitudes on men and clothes

To add: I don't think some of the people leaving comments understood what the author wrote. The author was advocating de-gendering and de-stygmatyzing clothes, albeit there was a trans bent. I then made the rather obvious point that they were telling me they would never wear a skirt while, in fact,...

Re: Adidas update clothing range in UK

If in Sports Direct, be sure to look under the rails, that's where most clothes end up :lol:

I didn't notice any in my local Adidas store, but I've just bought women's anyway :oops:

Re: Take off your machismo and wear a skirt

Not sure if I would buy anything at those prices, one of them was $2,300 :shock: that is very "Insolente", but good to see another manufacturer, even if they go the way of Mr. Kirt, Midas, CitySkirt and others with crazy prices. You can buy a decent skirt for a fraction from a thrift store...
