Hirayama said: "For young men, wearing women's clothes has almost become a status symbol - a confirmation of being slim and pretty and, therefore, desirable. Young women, on the other hand, are less interested now in looking beautiful for the benefit of young men. They dress up for themselves, for their own satisfaction."
This seeming reversal of traditional gender roles has spawned such interesting fashion items as the "unsexy miniskirt,"
What is Your take on tokyo fashion?

I do that, having given up trying to please everyone all the time (wife exceptedThey dress up for themselves, for their own satisfaction.
)An interesting article, ans as Pythos says, a step forward. Wonder when it will hit Europe - specifically the UK.

If I want to dress like a woman, I'll wear jeans.

Thinness as they do it looks to me to be downright unhealthy.
I'm 186 cm and now 80 kilo's, a nice healthy weight, If I go down to 70 + kilo, that's more than enough. I'm not fat anywhere. 57 kilo's for long men is way too light.
Everybody should look after their body.

A man is the same man in a pair of pants or a skirt. It is only the way people look at him that makes the difference.
the term "unsexy Miniskirt" has a open inturptation. I am wondering if they are refering to it as mens wear. Did anyone else pick up on that?merlin wrote:Do you really see this trend as a step forward? Everyone just a clone of their neighbour? Jeans + top = boring, surely? Goes along the supposed stereotype Japanese thinking?
