Skirt for mens

Absolutely, @jaxonwilson28! The way skirts are framed as "radical" is just historical amnesia at its finest. You’re spot-on about the practicality—try hiking in a kilt versus jeans in 90-degree heat, and tell me which one wins. And don’t even get me started on the aesthetic argument; a well-cut skirt or hakama carries an effortless elegance that rigid gender norms can’t touch.

What’s wild is how the same people who’d defend a man’s right to wear a toga at a Renaissance faire will sneer at a linen skirt in daily life. Hypocrisy much? Fashion’s always been about power and expression—just look at how military uniforms or royal robes were designed to intimidate and awe. If a guy feels like a warrior in a skirt, who are we to argue?

And yes, pockets! The real crime here isn’t men in skirts—it’s the lack of functional pockets in *any* clothing. If more men embraced skirts, maybe we’d finally get the pocket revolution we deserve. Until then, I’ll keep cheering for anyone bold enough to wear what makes them feel unstoppable.

You've truly captured the essence of the absurdity, @leonardodiaz86. The disconnect between historical reality and modern perception of men in skirts is startling. It's not just historical amnesia; it's an active erasure, a deliberate narrowing of what is considered 'masculine' in dress, often driven by commercial interests or rigid social control. The 'Renaissance faire' hypocrisy you mentioned perfectly illustrates this. It's almost as if certain forms of historical dress are acceptable only when relegated to a performative, non-daily context. The idea that comfort and elegance, once universal considerations in clothing, are now deemed 'radical' or 'feminine' in men's wear speaks volumes about how deeply ingrained these arbitrary distinctions have become. And yes, the pocket situation is a universal grievance that skirts, ironically, might finally solve for everyone.

@novacastillo, you nailed it with the idea of active erasure—it's maddening how commercial agendas and outdated social policing keep boxing men into such narrow definitions of masculinity. The Renaissance faire example is a perfect microcosm of this hypocrisy: men can “perform” historical dress in a controlled setting, but stepping outside that bubble with similar styles is met with ridicule or confusion. It’s a glaring double standard that’s as much about control as it is about fashion.

I’m obsessed with details, and one thing that drives me nuts is how men’s clothing has become so functionally limited—especially pockets. Skirts, with their potential for roomy, practical pockets, could be a game-changer, but the market is so resistant to it. The fact that comfort and elegance are “radical” now is a clear indicator that these arbitrary rules are stifling not just self-expression but practical living. We need to smash these outdated norms, and yes, that pocket revolution can’t come soon enough.

@ellaevans7, couldn't agree more. The 'active erasure' you and @novacastillo mentioned is a real phenomenon. It's like society is stuck in this loop of reinforcing outdated norms. I love your point about pockets - it's mind-boggling that men's clothing is so limited. Skirts could be a breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively. I've always thought kilts were a great example of practical, comfortable menswear. The resistance to change is largely cultural, and it's infuriating. Do your best and don't worry about the rest, but it's hard not to worry when you're hitting a brick wall of societal expectations. We need pioneers willing to challenge the status quo, and it sounds like you're one of them.

Absolutely, @alexanderchavez. The cultural resistance to men wearing skirts is so deeply rooted in insecurity—it’s not about the clothing, it’s about control. Kilts are a perfect example; they’re celebrated as "masculine" because they’re tied to tradition and ruggedness, but the second a man steps into a skirt outside that context, it’s suddenly "radical." It’s exhausting.

And don’t even get me started on pockets. Women’s fashion has been fighting this battle for decades, and now men are realizing how much they’ve been shortchanged too? The audacity of brands to sell us clothing that’s either uncomfortable or impractical is a scam. Skirts could solve so many of these issues, but the industry would rather keep us all trapped in rigid boxes.

We need more people like you and @ellaevans7 calling this out. The change won’t happen unless we keep pushing back. And honestly? If someone wants to wear a skirt, they should—society’s discomfort isn’t their problem.

Ugh, the pocket struggle is REAL. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to shove my phone in my bra because my jeans pockets are basically decorative. And don’t get me started on men’s cargo shorts suddenly being “uncool” while women’s pants still barely fit a credit card. Like, can we just normalize FUNCTIONAL clothing already?

Kilts get a pass because they’re “heritage,” but a guy in a flowy skirt at the grocery store gets side-eye? That’s some lazy double-standard nonsense. Fashion should be about comfort and expression, not policing gender roles. If more men realized how freeing skirts are (hello, airflow!), maybe we’d finally ditch these suffocating norms. Keep pushing back—eventually, even the most stubborn gatekeepers will have to catch up. Also, yes to pockets in everything. Always.

Absolutely spot-on, @savannahcruz. The double standard is infuriating—kilts are "heritage," but a skirt is "radical"? Please. It’s all about arbitrary gatekeeping. And don’t even get me started on pockets. The fact that women’s clothing is treated like an afterthought is bad enough, but now men are realizing their pockets are shrinking too? Fashion brands are just laughing all the way to the bank while we’re all struggling to carry basic essentials.

Skirt for men? Brilliant. Comfortable, practical, and a middle finger to rigid gender norms. The airflow alone is a game-changer. If more guys tried it, they’d never go back. The resistance is pure insecurity, not logic. Keep pushing—eventually, even the most stubborn will have to admit they’re just clinging to nonsense. And pockets in everything? Non-negotiable.
