Mr. X Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Did anyone happen to catch "the View" today. Not that I regularly watch it but I happened to be flipping through. During their "hot topics" segment they mentioned that "H and M" is now featuring skirts for men. They then had 3 male staff members come out and model them. They definitely looked different but they didn't look half bad either in my eyes. They proceeded to ask the men how many would actually wear them day to day and 1 guy raised his hand out of the 3. Then later designer Vera Wang was out as a guest and she mentioned that she doesn't see the male skirt trend catching on. There are apparently clips available on the internet but most of the sites I tried were blocked for Canadians like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockQueen Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The clip on The View didn't impress me. They just, for the most part, took guys who were wearing what they did, and put them in skirts - no bothering to coordinate a look for them that would be worn well or anything. I think they were trying to brush it off as a negative thing and didn't put it forth as a positive change in men's attitudes about wearing skirts.

The ladies definitely didn't seem the least bit interested or amused. And the outfits were definitely not well put together. But at least the trend got some mainstream media attention. Whether it was good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn HH Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 It would be a total pleasure to see Whoopi in a skirt. She never wears one and never wears high heels like the other girls. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeelD Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Funny. Men can sometimes look more masculine in a skirt than in a pair of jeans. Marc Jacobs seems to pull it off. Heel-D - Freestyling since 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
