Who Wouldn't Want To See A Man In A Skirt?

We've heard of man purse. We've heard of men wearing manicure. We've discovered guys garbed in women's clothes, no hang on, that's crossing dressing already (not that there's anything wrong with it.) But what about guys sporting skirts?

Kilts are common. They're a part of a Scottish custom particularly when they're having a wedding. You can even find kilt rentals available for that sort of theme. But what if men begin putting on kilts for everyday outfit? Wouldn't that be the revolution of the century?

But, the reality is, men's skirt, apart from kilts, are definitely more prevalent than we think. For the lengthiest period, gentlemen had been putting on skirts and not simply for the reason that it's cozy. Impressive men, men of faith based influence, guys who go into battle, look at your history textbooks and you'll see all of these men dressed in skirts.

History

In older days there weren't really any pants. Everybody donned skirts. Pants are in reality underwear, like underpants or long johns or panties. Skirts were first devised in Armenia in 3,900 B.C. Woven from straws, males and females of any culture wear skirt and possess their own variation of it. There's lungi, kanga and sarong in Asia and the common kilt in Scotland.

Should you examine historical Egyptian paintings, you could basically see the proof that everyone from the pharaoh down to the slaves wore skirts. Sumerians donned skirts. Greeks donned togas. Chinese wore dresses. And let's keep in mind the kimonos that the Japanese love to put on.

World domination in a skirt

Even the Macedonian king, the well-known Alexander the Great dominated the whole world, riding horses and leading combat, dressed in a skirt. He could say it was a tunic, but if it's not stitched in the middle it's a skirt. When Christopher Columbus found America he was dressed in a nifty little knee-high skirt.

This brings us to the idea that maybe if Hitler had put on a skirt he'd have been successful in ruling the entire world. Although we're digressing and that's an additional story. But you should give it to the Aztec Indians who put on nothing else but loincloths. And it's simply to cover the sensitive parts of the body.

Skirt-wearing declined sometime around the Victorian times. That's when gentlemen were regarded too flashy with their attire and were demoted to wearing more sober clothes. Thus emerged the trousers and skirts were never witnessed again in men.

Making a comeback

The rebellious decade of the 1960s observed an effort to revive skirts on guys. There came this unisex fashion movement which tried to cloud the line between men's garments and women's garment. However the skirt thing didn't seriously become fashionable. The best it completely changed among guys were velvet trousers, flowered or frilled shirts and neckties, and long hair.

In the 70s, a person single-handedly made an effort to encourage men to put on skirts. He contended that they're practical since it doesn't abrade the groin spot, it's cool on a hot climate and symbolically, men can soak up feminine attributes. He published many articles on it, made a tour on talk shows. Clearly skirt wearing still never caught on.

Nevertheless, it's early. Trend has a strategy for recycling by itself. There will come a period when it's not just the kilts that men will wear but actual skirts.
