There is a substantial geezer contingent here that will just sneer at any anything current or trendy.

 

It isn't trendy yet..

Trust me, men in kilts (well the right men) go over just fine with the ladies. 

 

In particular with ladies in trousers, I believe!

Being Scottish! Its not the kilt that matters its was underneath! 😂

Finally someone makes some sense here!

You know it’s tradition when wearing kilts you don’t wear underwear? 

Yes, I know..

Another fact, because the kilt was so heavy. Years ago in battle the Scots removed them to fight the English naked! What a thought!!! 

No mini kilt's been invented yet.?

If not, I must patent the idea

How about (is this Hell's Angels version?).?

This and the angels has reminded me of one of my favorite Monty Python sketches..

I'll just have to wait and see. 90% of what appears in fashion shows goes no further than the catwalk. Fashion is a weird industry!

 

I'm not sure I will wait, think I'm warming up to the idea which it seems has already been embraced by heavy metal fans. IMO these skirts look pretty stylish!

Someone has  been watching "Outlander" on Netflix too much!

 

No.. I only know the original one with Christopher Lambert..

Quite stylish as well..

 

 

..but I think I tend to gravitate in a slightly different direction..

We need this for men!

 

 

Trousers are passe!

 

 

Cheers!

Well I agree that men's fashions are boring (even a $5K suit coat looks like most other suits--and in the same unimaginative colors, unless you are John Batiste on The Late Show). But I am really not there yet with those dresses and skirts... 

 

Relax, take your time.. it's a question of just the right moment which for everyone may be different. Meanwhile watch this inspirational video with men in dresses who defeat men in trousers..

Broadening the topic.

I guess for the digital audio (very binary!) lovers this can be a real shock, probably much bigger than for the fans of analogue.. 

There used to be up to 28 genders in India, check this out ..hmmm.. I guess mostly guys

An attempt to revitalize this important thread.

 

 

Still hope some AS member will be be brave enough to show their awesome new skirt here! 

 

[sphinxsix]

@AudioDoctor One does not preclude the other, they can go hand in hand.. I mean leg in leg!

 

Just between us, @ 

 

is this you.?

I will allow myself to resurrect this thread just to remind everybody that a man in skirt or dress is still a man  The proof is Gail Zappa's round belly on this 1967 photo including also the proud father Frank in a stylish dress, Jimi Hendrix and Mr Paul Caruso (UFO specialist if I remember correctly).

 

 

Of course without this photo and this dress there would be no this cult cover art..

 

 

..which also showed that Frank wasn't the only member of the band for whom,  a dress used to be ..well.. dress of his choice

Although deeply rooted in history the trend is obviously absolutely contemporary.

From the latest Louis Vuitton collection..

 

 

Louis Vuitton’s Virgil Abloh showcases men in dresses and skirts

 

BTW women were so willing to put on men's trousers, isn't the fact that men seem much less willing to put on skirts and dresses a proof of our deeply hidden sexism.?

Been mentioning waders on the "Static Shock.." thread but IMO the future of men's clothing still belongs to skirts..
