Street Scene: Skirts 5

Judging by their reactions, Street-fashion postings are a favorite among my readers.

Once again, the theme are skirts, since I've collected cool photographs from around the world.

Contrary to my usual practice, this time I'll start by posting an image of myself.

The pic was taken by my wife while we were strolling through the park.

Yes, I know: I wasn't really "dressed-up"... but comfy I was!

JP, a fellow blogger from the Philippines, whom I follow closely, in what turned out to be his first skirt!

Male-skirts have never been out of fashion in many countries!

(Like the island-state of Samoa, in these two pics)

Even for the army!

The same goes for Katmandu, Nepal

(I'd appreciate any info about the pics)

And I'm closing this entry with this cute pic, which has been circulating around the web for a while.

As his small son was so fond of dresses, instead of scolding him or trying to "fix" him, this dad decided to support his child by wearing a skirt himself:

Dear me---I see the Samoans in blue skirts---have them wrapped to the LEFT---the Scots bend people's ears braying that THE kilt is "male" because it wraps to the RIGHT---actually---their heads are full of puffs of air---it makes no difference which way it wraps! Mere nuances of style have no power at all to confer gender on a garment! Why doesn't everyone acknowledge this?

Footloose and Fashion-Free!

We are living exiting times in many senses: technologies allow us to stay in touch with people from around the word and humanity even starts reaching for distant planets.

When it comes to gender, we have gone a long way into accepting our ample, rich sexual diversity that goes way beyond the traditional gender binary: after many centuries of stereotypes, people finally start presenting themselves as bi-gender, non-binary, genderless, genderfluid.

Even cis-gender people, i.e. those falling into the conventional ”male” and “female” categories, are acting, even unconsciously, in ways far removed from traditional patterns: Ladies are becoming more assertive, while gentlemen are allowed to show their emotions and display their “feminine” side.

All this slow but steady modifications in our conduct, which I consider to be extremely healthy and honest, cannot help but being expressed in the way we dress.

Ladies wear pants and “power suits”, while the creativity, the flair, the colors, the design, which used to be reserved for the girls only, are finally reaching the menswear department. Males don’t have to settle for the same old boring, gray, stuff.

Skirts, heels, jewelry and flower-patterns in bright colors for men are not uncommon any more.

My blog, promotes designers and creators of non-conforming fashions.

WARNING: It’s not a blog about "cross-dressing". That's a word that hopefully will one day vanish from our vocabulary as everyone dresses the way they feel suit and that's that!
