Over the last few years I’ve been hoping to see more – and keeping my eyes peeled for – men in womenswear. I don’t mean men in drag, I mean the equivalent of women wearing menswear:

These women look like women. They look sexy and beautiful. They don’t look like they’re trying to look like men. I’d love to see men dabbling in the equivalent.

Over the last few months I’ve seen a couple of guys in their mid-twenties wearing skirts, one was a long green kilt as part of a very punk look, and the other guy was in a rosy beige silk a-line knee length skirt. I think he had a snug sweater on and I’m certain he wore a pair of kitten heels. He was with another guy and a girl, both were dressed with a slightly geek/punk edge. So it’s still a very fringe look – and not quite as ‘manly’ as I envision.

I see something along the lines of a fit man in a midi length black straight skirt, grey or black socks and nice men’s dress shoes or clunkier women’s Mary Janes, a white button up shirt with a tie and blazer, a little past 5 o’clock shadow and a messenger bag. I think it could look extremely sexy – there’s no way I’ll manage to convince The Princess to try it – I haven’t been able to get mascara on him more than twice.
