Official Tage Thompson picture collage shirt

The modern male skirt idea is not at all new. Elizabeth Hawes, an American clothing designer who rankled at the Tage Thompson picture collage shirt and by the same token and fashion industry, proclaimed that “by 1976, American males will be as free as females to dress to their personal pleasure.” She designed skirts for men yet here we are in 2019, Bruce Jenner is now unabashedly Caitlyn, RuPaul has a major and popular TV drag show but skirts for men haven’t caught on. Hmmm, I wonder why. Since I was a kid, I’ve cross-dressed in skirts made for women and continue, even though, my masculinity has taken over my body in advancing age, to be very curious about androgyny, drag etcetera. I publicly ignore gender boundaries but some I feel uneasy about crossing. To me, a man affecting femininity is beautifully transgressive and I love the sensuality and aesthetic of many women’s fabrics. Women’s fashion is exciting where men’s leaves me rather – meh. Contemporary western cultures are largely frightened of the social consequences of men accessing and acting on their own sense of femininity. We see headlines about feminized maleness, lowered sperm counts, internet memes and blogging asking ‘Are Men Turning in to Women?’ or proclaiming, ‘Traditional Manhood Is Under Attack!’ It is as as if women insisting men share some equality and stop being dicks to women is signaling armageddon.
