Fashion Question

[Greathands]

Was watching "The View" this morning saw something that caught my attention.

 

Apparently, the new H&M spring/summer collection includes a skirt for men. What are your thoughts? Do you like the idea? Would you wear one?

I'm think hot pink cut mid-thigh to complete the varsity cheerleader look.

hmm

 

I don't think I will wear one but it seems comfortable, though. I have to see a fashion show to finally make up my mind.

Does it come in denim?

[Guest greatness]

So creative

 

So creative and so revolutionary... MsGuy you are in the fashion industry right? Who are you? One of the D&G designers.

lol.... that outfit reminds me of my catholic high school days yikes!

But why would you want skirts.... you already have two types of similar men's clothing in:

 

Scottish Atire:

Japanese Attire

Hakama

 

Personally I can see a trend of longer type skirts coming back. Personally I have always been a fan of smocks, abas, and robes myself. Very comfortable.

Designers have periodically tried to introduce skirts to their menswear collecections without much success, but I've never seen such a mainstream shop as H&M try to sell them to men before. Rightly or wrongly, I think most people's instinctual reaction to seeing a man in a skirt will always be 'that's a man wearing women's clothing.'

 

I don't think I'd ever feel comfortable wearing a skirt in North America. However, when I lived in Indonesia, like all men there, I often wore a sarong. This casual wrap-around garment is very comfortable in their warm humid climate. So, really it's a question of culture, social norms and practicality as much as one of fashion.

Sri Lankan men also wear a type of sarong and I was introduced to them by friends in West Africa--very comfortable in tropic climates, and also very easy to "shed" when necessary )
