New male fashions

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.

New male fashions

Post by skirtingtoday »

I don't see many men wearing these anytime soon! But if it floats your boat...!

The designs, at least for the skirts, are a bit on the "frou-frou" side even for me, but the concept is a worthy one.

That said, the blogger needs to allow for folks to say, "No" to Google cookies. There's no way to do that on his site, which means I was a "one-click wonder" and selected precisely nothing on the page.

I'm actually in the market for one of these as we speak. Just waiting on one to come along. Would prefer to find it in a brick and mortar store so I can try it on in a dressing room first.

Just clicked a few links and found this \

http://hosoi.es/tienda/vestido-logomaniac/

A dress for a man at €80 ($87, £56) - looks quite nice and isn't stupidly expensive either.

I'm more stunned by the price than anything!

Ehhh... not really my style. Too "pencily" for me, too short, not crazy about the fabric design, and definitely not the shoes!

Did anyone pan down and take a look at the footwear ?

"Elevated High Top Basketball Shoes"

The bloke was already 6 foot tall skinny as a rail and then adding another foot to the height !
"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 !

Kind of redefines "clunky" doesn't it?

Hmmm... Definitely NOT into the footwear! It is also a bit to "pencilly" (if that's a word). It is also a bit LONG for what I would choose.

Colour is fine and if I was into wanting a dress, might even choose this but I am and only wish to be just a skirt-man.

I applaud this for furthering the idea of men in skirts and dresses, this instance really isn't my style.

If I were going to wear a dress, I think it would be either a shirtdress or something worn under a jacket or sweater.
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.

I like the look of that dress. "Pencilly" is fine by me, and I like the pattern. Although it is just the brand, it looks almost abstract. Hopefully the model is a bit taller than me, so it would be fully down to my knees. Not that I'm buying it, you understand.

€80 is a far more realistic price than most men's skirts or dresses. If I was in the market for a dress, I'd be sorely tempted.

One possible problem, though the model is carefully hiding it: would the narrow cut mean a gentleman's bits would be bulging out?
Keep on skirting,

I rather like that dress, thougbI suspect it would be too unflattering to wear with my body shape. It's all academic anyway as the sizes are far too small. I don't think I was ever a "medium", I was too tall even before i filled out too far to qualify.

Have fun,


Ian.

I was having a poke around their site just now, and I was struck by how much better value the dress is than anything else with the same design. Dress €80, sweatshirt €90, joggers €140, underpants €40, etc. There is a men-in-dresses mole working in that company, I tell you!

In fact, the more I think about it, the more I think I could go for it! Probably won't happen, though.
Keep on skirting,

The general style of the dress, yes, not bad. The colour and pattern? Not so much, not completely out of order, just not my thing. I guess $80-$90 isn't that bad as such 'fashion" statements usually go, more than I want to pay though.

I'm not sure which I find more ridiculous, the platform baseball shoes/boots, or those socks! It kinda makes sense to have athletic style socks with baseball inspired footwear...but, no, just no.
