friend wears his mother's long black skirt in Paris' street

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.

friend wears his mother's long black skirt in Paris' street

This friend of mine is a fashion blogger from the Philippines. I took this photos in Paris.
Actually he told me that this skirt belongs to his mother ! But I think it looks good and masculine.
What do you think?

To me a skirt with that much flare does not look masculine, I don't think I would wear that one in public, however I still have a very conservative outlook when it comes to wearing skirts. It looks a good skirt, just not my style.

That looks good to me. The flare is great for walking unhindered, and the contrast between the white blouse and black skirt works well.

It's a good look. I'd probably wear it.

Now if he's just convince three or four of his friends, and they'd each convince three or four of theirs, ...
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.

Simple and bold. Very good indeed.

That shape of skirt is quite striking. One to choose when you are feeling confident and not hoping to go unnoticed! I have some like that but a bit shorter and they are nice to wear for a change.
Keep on skirting,

It's fine with me… I might well wear it… but I don't like the look of the undershirt seen through the shirt.

The pic is part of a bigger set; see hommeurbain.com/tag/jupe-pour-homme.
When I heard about skirting, I jumped in with both feet!
