What would be the perfect skirt!
I've seen this discussed before.
Pockets or no pockets? Pleats? Full skirt? A-line?
Maybe it's not a skirt at all!
Maybe it's a garment that is even harder to sell then a skirt.
How about a dress?
It doesn't have to be feminine anymore the a skirt does!
The advantage:
It hangs down from the shoulders and doesn't need to be belt to keep it in place.
It can be put over your head withoout stepping into it.
It can have any hem length all the way down to your knees.
In bad weather, with petticoats undeneath, it can be warm.
You can have pockets (no need for a purse) and the weight won't pull the waist band down (this applies to pants as well).
All in all a dress comes far closer to being an ideal garment for ease of wear then anything else. Pants, short pants and even skirts just don't match up.
The draw back is no one makes a dress for men.
Skirts and pants today are more or less unisexual, really. And skirts for men can be called kilts even if they aren't.
But a dress is seen by everyone as being JUST for women, even more so then skirts.
And that a real pity.
Dresses for men!
Maybe I should try a new web site to advocate for the concept.
