Rewriting the rules for menswear – new wearable skirts for men

https://www.ntu.ac.uk/about-us/news/new ... ts-for-men

Fashion student Katie Cooper, wouldn't be the first fashion designer, when asked to produce a men's fashion collection, threw in a skirt or two to make something boring have some edge and interest. Even then, one skirt and two trousers, that have a skirt look to them, is hardly taking a full grasp of male skirts.

If you want publicity in you fashion collection then put a man in a skirt, job done, new uniform, man in skirt, front page wonder.

Thanks phathack for the find.

Hi Phatback,

The "rules" for menswear have and always will, be decided by society and social pressure.
Fortunately, there will always be the upstarts and rebels who take delight in breaking them.

I don't know what others think but I don't want some fancy fashion creation. All I want is a simple, uncomplicated garment as an alternative to trousers - like most women would buy from a store to wear every day or for work. Straight, A-line or pleated, solid colours or simple patterns etc, and preferably robust rather than flimsy (which is why I like denim, corduroy, heavy cotton or suiting material) or so they maintain masculinity and work well with any shirt or sweater. I want to be able to obtain these from my local clothing store or supermarket without spending a small fortune.
