What if .............

Post by denimini »

What if you attached the lower part (the legs) of this garment to the hem of a matching mini skirt? What would it be? There would be no inseam but would have separate legs. What should it be called?

Those pants are hilarious, but they would solve the issue of having too short of pants that cannot be cuffed (when I wear pants, I like to cuff them).

As for the name, hrmm...

Skirt: skirt
Skirt+shorts: skort
Pants: pants
Short pants: shorts

Skirt + pants: skants

Does that mean you would be skantilly dressed?

Also - per my previous post - I think the item in the photo should be called "shants" -> shorts+pants.

All I got out of that one was a sadness that someone else has fallen victim and gotten lost in the Denim Desert.

Damned awkward. Imagine the gyrations and torsion pulls on the skirt.

And people pay good money for that sort of abomination of fashion - distressed denim - very distressing - pieces pants parts skirt patches mini and short skorting the issue -

To each his own and the devil for all !
"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !

It's funny because this isn't really "distressed" - right? All 6 hems (ha!) are sewn neatly.

Just had a wee browse and I daresay we could have it made in Guanaco wool as a "slightly" more up-market weirdness.
BTW the "Skant" has already boldly gone a trekkin'.
Could it be a Monoduoduct?

It is fashion, it is meant to be ridiculous unless you take it otherwise.
Or make loads of money from it. that is.

Not sure what to make of it :roll: From the top down, it looks female but from the shoes up to the slit it looks male.
