(OC) Me wearing a skirt cause fuck gender roles
-
I love your androgynous look!
I’m not seeing much of a fashion community on here but there’s a streetwear one that might really enjoy this
-
Had to look hard to even notice the skirt past the mismatched socks.
-
I'm actually inclined to disagree, I feel like the outfit would be unbalanced and the white trim and doggo purse competing. The white socks at least offer a bit of balance to the look imo
But wouldn’t you say the dog bag is a statement? Otherwise, why not go with a more conventionally shaped bag? The skirt color (at least in the picture) really takes away from the bag imo.
I am also a fan of symmetry and the three white stripes bug me in a way the white trim does not.

Wait, you didn't magically have a bunch of posts and comments when you joined?

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.
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.

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)

I love how the only criticism here is fashion-oriented color theory. This is a special place and you all are great. Thanks for this comment.
I love talking fashion and giving outfit ideas! Wish we had communities for that here lol

Bah, some folks just lurk for a bit first. Get a feel for the vibe of a place and proceed accordingly.
And some just jump right in. Neither is wrong or right, just different.

Yeah, me too. We'll get there. It will just take some time.

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".

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

This look kills! The purse is everything

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.

You know what? I like this better than my suggestion
