H'Mong skirt

[mr seamstress]

H'Mong skirt is a traditional skirt worn by women in the Vietnamese culture. There is a up roar over male tourist wearing the H'Mong skirt for a photo ops and posting it on TikTok, that is encourage by the tourist guide. The Vietnamese population seeing it being disrespectful to their culture. The only time all men are allow to wear the H'Mong skirt if they are deceased and use part of burial ritual. Their is only one more exception if that man is a shaman.

Don't expect any of these men in helping to promote men can wear and dresses. Nor expect any these men ever wear a skirt again.

There is a culture where men wear Ao Dai dress. This dress is worn by mem and women on special occasions. Funny thing America sees these men are nothing but sissy, because they wear a dress. But America lost its war to these sissies. This proves wearing a dress you are not weak.
One of many shops you can but this men's dress, but search engines always fail to show these shops if you search men's dresses, got to know their name.

I thought I would add this piece of information in case people says wearing a dress or skirt you are weak. Beside losing the war to Vietnam where their is a culture for men to wear a dress in special occasion, but also to the Taliban, who wears a robe aka dress daily. And it's a crime for men to wear blue jeans (pants), because it insults their God.

I think we should go carefully when taking skirts from various cultures and settings. I think we have so many types of skirts to choose from, keeping away from a small number of sensitive skirt types seems sensible?

On this site you then start with kilts!

Any mocking use of costume is inappropriate.

If I had seen on the rack at Goodwill I would have carried it out with a smile.

Go figure.

The Ao Dai for men is not really a dress. It is more of a robe and you are expected to wear black pants under it. Kinda like Neo's signature Matrix outfit.

The Chinese has a cheongsam for men, which is an actual dress: https://www.osonian.com/collections/men-cheongsam though showing off your bare shins aren't becoming so you should wear high socks or boots or the traditional cloth shoes.

It is sold and classified as a dress. Dictionary describe dress as a shirt with a skirt. I have one in my closet and bought it four years ago. Last time I wore it a button came off and haven't gotten around sew the button back on so I can wear it again. I own several multi culture clothing. In my closet I have the thobe as known as a muslin robe and haven't met a person who hasn't identified it as a dress. I have a Jesus costume and haven't met a person that says it's a dress, sold as a robe. I have bought shirts off the rack and the tail of these shirts reaches all the way to my knees and everybody Claims it is a dress. In my community where I have thousands of experts and they claim all they know the deference between what a robe is and what a dress is. The only difference they really knows is the one they suppose to own and what I own.

Countless people have either yell fagot or given the middle finger solute while I'm wearing Jesus costume robe. I have gotten it, if their garment reaches knee isn't a "sissy" gown, but everyone's else is.

You are welcome to yell at the internet and tell them it's a robe, I used the label the internet used, a dress.

In London I see many men in dresses, some very fancy and colourful, others just white. Some go down to the ground, while others are midi, tea or maxi. It means a Mouse in a denim skirt, is just another man in a skirted garment.

I would never think to borrow their culture/religious style, since I have my own style, which I like so much more and it is mine.

Googled "robes for men" and was presented with many entries for bathrobes. It would seem that only bathrobes are deemed to be robes. Everything else must be a dress.

Try searching 'men's silk dressing gown', 'banyan' or 'wrapping gown'.

It is sold and classified as a dress. Dictionary describe dress as a shirt with a skirt.

This definition could apply to some styles. Other styles could be loosely described as elongated, shirt like garments, in which there is no distinct waist.

Using metaphors, I think-in terms of gaining traction-skirt like garments are a steep hill to climb. But for dress like garments there is a much steeper hill to climb. I suspect this is due to kilting, which is more socially acceptable than dresses. I recall comments that, when confronted with MIS, some people will try to put (non-kilt) skirts into the Kilt category, which is probably more comfortable than cognitive dissonance.

So I think that, when worn in public, skirt like garments will gain traction sooner than dress like garments.

Had an interesting comment Tuesday at a coffee social where there were a few "new" folk that day. A woman from TN who acknowledged not having travelled outside of the US -- except for a "Hawaii" vacation and one to a Mexican resort, said she was "digging on my skirt; if was a bit shorter she would call it a kilt". I did not know quite what to think of that, accepted the "digging on' as a compliment and said it was only a skirt. I spent more time with her hubby -- both clearly Trump fans, but cognizant enough to know they were pretty much alone in that crowd, and avoided areas of potential controversy. I don't know if the phrase "had it been shorter" was a dig or not, but it was a comment I could not really make heads or tails of.

Digging it is slang language from the 60's & 70's from hippies. Man they where digging it. Thumbs up. Movies with hippies in it and you will find that slang language was used in it. They approve your choice of clothes.
