This article from Vogue Germany makes me hopeful that men wearing skirts will soon become a fashion trend that hits the streets.

How would you rate this post?
It’s a start at least. However fashioned by huge. Names and designers , this needs to be even more normalized for the everyday man. Show off those gorgeous legs, gents!! That’s why skirts were born.
I absolutely agree! It’s just nice that major publications like Vogue are writing so prominently about it in multiple languages. As you said, it’s a great start, but the real fight is in the streets where the average man will have to wear them. I’m going to write a post about that in the near future.
It needs to happen on popular TV soaps. I love wearing my skirt and am now far more comfortable wearing it in public. You just have to go for it. In some respects men wearing skirts may contribute to women being treat equally since if wearing a skirt is looked down up as being a womans garment are people looking down on women generally hence why we see more women wearing trousers.
I agree, it needs to happen in more mainstream media. Until that happens, I don’t think it will become more normal. But then again, it may not happen in mainstream media until it becomes more normal on the streets. It’s really a chicken-or-egg problem…
It would be great if men wearing skirts led to women being treated more equally!
