Short dress for men and women

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.

Short dress for men and women

Post by Jim2 »

I was reading an article on dailykos.com, when I noticed an ad for the "no gender" collection at a store named thecorner. They have a dress for sale for men and women at http://www.thecorner.com/us/men/short-d ... 270xg.html. Their clothes are all designer clothes, so ridiculously expensive. And the male model, of course, is shown wearing it with a pair of pants on underneath, still, it came as quite a surprise to see such clothing in an advertisement.

More of a tunic than a dress.
Sleeveless and barely passable length - would raise issues with another thread here "In all seriousness how do you sit?"
AND YES - ridiculously expensive priced at $540.
Won't be finding "My cup of tea" here !
"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 !

Looks like an Oversize T-Shirt to me, worth about $20 Tops.

Yeah could go to a beach wear shop and grab one of those cover-up "T" shirts - season closing bargains.

Yes, but then you wouldn't be able to prove you have more money than sense. :wink:

Hmmm, no gender must make it a lot more expensive - perhaps because it has been unlocked from female only.

I think I would go for an elcheapo lookalike http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Corporate-bl ... 25adf1e74c

I do get the point that it is unusual and encouraging to see a "no gender" catagory

Pfft! I've seen more stylish (and damn sure cheaper) offerings at Sears or JCPenney.
I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman.

Ouch! To rich for my blood!

I can almost buy a car for that! Seems to bland too.
