In an era during which rules seem meant to be broken — and more and more people are calling for gender equality — it should surprise no one that the fashion world is the head cheerleader for change. Case in point: the Fall 2018 Menswear designers presenting a variety of skirts on their runways.

A wrap skirt paired with a matching jacket showed up at the Astrid Andersen show in London, as well as a flasher worthy trench dress at Alex Mullins and a a flirty full skirt bounced along at Bobby Abley.

I would definitely remember a guitarist in a kilt up against a mossy rock.

“A woman wearing a kilt is a “cross-dresser”.”

Hey, I wore one in my HS drill team.

Go Highlanders!!

But, yup in todays PC world wearing a kilt is a “cross-dresser”.

Fer gawds sake, they’ve been around for hundreds of years and they’re called kilts!

Alas, it was not meant to be, c’est dommage.

One conceivable advantage is the ability to seriously protect “the boys” with a cup and a number of layers of Kevlar, without noticeable visible evidence. Can’t do that in trousers.

Sigh. L'histoire de ma vie.

[Bonemaker]

I wouldn't make any cute remarks in a bar with these guys.

[Redbob]

In Scotland, maybe...

Moi aussi

Still the sexiest man to have ever lived.

Not unless you are going to let me speak brogue, grow a long beard, spit and fart everywhere and carry some really big badazz sword...

Dear fashion designers,
David Bowie is dead. No one will ever be able to rock a skirt like he (kilts of course are excepted, WITH underwear!)

That's not MEN'S wear.

Not new. Tried about 40 or 50 years ago. Went over like a lead balloon. It DID get a write up in a news magazine at the time.

I trust a man in a pair of wrangler jeans....especially if they’re a bit dirty and cuffed up at the bottom...

It is easy to see why the Germanic pants trend took over the Roman Toga World 1700 years ago.
