Minnesota Designer Wants to Make Unisex Skirts Popular Again
Oddity Central ^ | 18JUL18 | Spooky

Posted on 07/20/2018 11:15:36 PM PDT by vannrox

A Minnesota man felt so comfortable the first time he put on a skirt that he started thinking about why there weren’t more people making skirts for men. In the end, he started making them himself.

Joe Quarion first put on a skirt in 2013, for an ultimate Frisbee match. Team captains would occasionally come up with silly dress-up themes for the players, and this time it was skirts or dresses. Joe put on a skirt he had bought from second-hand store Savers and headed on to the field. It was suppose to be a goofy experience, but he realized that he genuinely liked wearing a skirt, and started looking into why men’s skirts weren’t more popular.

Minnesota in February when it is 40 below will convince you why men don't wear skirts. Seeing the photos posted with a short skirt and no panty hose suggests he will soon have to cope with frostbitten knees (and unless he wears heavy panties, he will frost bite another vulnerable part of his anatomy).

What does a Scotsman have under his kilt?

I am in north Florida, about as far away from the bright fashion districts as one can get. I have seen two men wearing skirts, both in Walmarts. Both men were middle-aged and over weight. Both were, to put it charitably, unattractive by any measure. One had a pocketbook and the other was wearing a man-pack on his belt. One skirt was leather-look and the other a plaid.

It seemed to me that they were trying to call attention to themselves. While they succeeded, one wonders what the attention accomplished.

For something this out of the ordinary to catch on, it would take a Justin Bieber to wear one. But whoever tries to break in this new fashion runs the risk of ridicule which is death in today’s cyber connected world. Bieber could go from trendsetter to nobody with just a few Tweets. The public and fashion are fickle and arbitrary.

A wang, a wang. It is from an old ditty. You have to sing the question and the answer.

And if you call it a “skirt”, they’ll slap you into England.

:D

William Wallace wore trousers. So did most of his men.

Men wear skirts in Scotland.

It's called a 'kilt' because that's what happened when somebody called it a skirt.....

Wrong. It’s a kilt if it is pleated in the back, with a wide apron portion in the front (pattern or no pattern). Skirts tend to be pleated (or unpleated) for the entire circumference or only in the front.
