The Year in Style

Post by phathack »

So I found this mention in a recent article.
Men in skirts is becoming a thing, and it’s not just about Marc Jacobs this time. Thanks to designers like Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, not to mention all of the Gaultiers, Yamamotos and Rick Owenses before them, skirts for men are actually, finally, really and truly, being seen on men. Just not to the office. We’re still getting used to shorts!

Only time will tell if this is actually happening of just more noise from the fashion designer world.

Indeed, but the paragraph you quote is just one of many in a long article. It could have been missed out if the writer hadn't thought the comment worth making. Perhaps not the same as a whole article on mens skirts, written to fill the pages of a newspaper, and signifying nothing?
Keep on skirting,

Other than kilting, I have not seen unbifurcated garments on males. I have reached the conclusion that-regarding men-the designers are clueless...and irrelevant.

"Just not to the office", there's the rub.
When a man in a skirt is able to attend his place of work with no "comment", then we've actually made it.
