(OC) Me wearing a skirt cause fuck gender roles
-
Without putting much though into it my mind immediately labeled this a kilt. A big belt buckle could add nicely, but then again it's complete as is.
Definitely a skirt, not a kilt. Kilts are flat in front and pleated in the back/sides, usually with a sporran, and pretty much always tartan; the only time I've seen someone wear a solid-colour kilt is in pictures of Americans cosplaying with "tactical kilts".

One of my moms favorite stories about my childhood (I was like 6), is that I wanted to wear a skirt, like my sisters, to a wedding.
She had to explain to me that boys don't wear skirts.
Only for a scottish man to be at the wedding, wearing a kilt. I apparently got very cross with mom for lying to me.
oh speaking of, yesterday I was looking at an alt punk skirt with like a metal chain and spikes on it.
In the reviews there was this real manly man wearing it next to his significant other with the caption along the lines "I got invited to my buddies Scottish wedding, but I am not Scottish. So I got this. 5 stars."dude was rocking it fr

I love this story, and thanks for giving me another reason to appreciate Scottish nonconformity.
It's not really nonconformity, it just conforms to a different set of fixed gender-specific clothing rules.

Everyone, everywhere... should wear what they dare.

The first kilt I wore (UK pipe band) was an Irish saffron kilt - just a single colour.

Yep. I’d imagine a lot of people would consider some middle eastern male clothing to be dresses as well. It’s all just perspective.
-
I hate clothes in general and would prefer those light shirt and skirt combo things girls wear.
-
I agree! Making the skirt and socks black would make things too busy on the top/top-heavy.
Maybe just change the skirt color to navy or black so it provides contrast with the purse (which is definitely the statement piece)
You know what? I like this better than my suggestion

Meanwhile I just wanna rock a linen thobe

Had to look hard to even notice the skirt past the mismatched socks.
That's an asymmetrical pair. If it throws you, that's intentional. Clearly this isn't a person who wants to lull you with their conformity.

The purse is a statement, but one should always be able to put it down and still have a dramatic flair.

Same. I discovered ultralight shorts last year, from mammut to be precise. It's the next best thing to wearing nothing for me.
-
The point (to the extent there was one) was to move past any gender-role discussion and accept the picture at face value. Even when it's cold, I've found that it has to be really cold to not find too many layers on my legs to be oppressive after any amount of activity.
The black is leggings, so they'd have bare ankles, or bare thighs with just the socks. At least there's only one layer under the shoes, two would be uncomfortable.
-
I love the whole look, and especially the stripes on just one calf! Drawing the eye to the gray zone so we don't miss the doggie bag! The leggings/socks combo keeping you warm and also covered in case the December wind blows your skirt up. Or in case you just want to do a twirl! Pockets in the jacket in case your hands get cold.
10/10

Yeah. baggy loose shorts but I still feel I have to put on a top if going significantly away outside unless im at a pool. crocs to have been a godsend. Oh man I use to have this light flowing hippie shirt and I so wish I could find one like it again.

Wearing it is "fuck gender roles" - posting it is "give me attention".
