Lower parts of the business
Since a few time, we can see in medias, in fashion shows, or in streets men in skirt. But what’s on everyday life?
Do you know that women are out of the law when they wear trousers? Actually, in 1886 and 1909 2 French laws allow women to wear trousers only if she is bicycling or horsing (easy in subway!)
This law still exists and at the end of 2003 a deputy asked the minister delegated to the Parity and the professional Equality in function, to revise these 2 circulars. The minister answered him: “… to adapt the right to the evolution of manners, disuse is sometimes more effective than the intervention” (Source: AFP 05/03/2004). This French law is still into force in 2007.
For men there are no law to avoid us to wear skirt…we checked it! Practices The trousers monopolize our wardrobe and women don’t have right wear them, the skirt became with the wire of time, a kind of female emblem. it is true that formerly the men wore skirts, tunics or even dresses, still today in certain countries, Indonesia or Scotland for example. It acts in these countries, mainly of an attachment to a tradition, a tradition, that men of these countries respect. What would have happened if we had respected, in France, the clothing traditions of 17th or 18th century? Well, we would walk in the streets wearing sticking or silk stocking, wigs and others froufrou that men of this time wore. Were these men of the 17-18th century less virile, less men that today? Did their clothing behaviours prevent them from carrying out the unrestrained wars at this time? Would the trousers have been born, if the traditions of our ancestors had been respected? Questions that anyone can ask to himself. Skirts for men are coming back?? There is also an association in becoming, named HeJ (Man out of Skirt) whose founder Jerome Salome co-signed this article, which explains the goal: “… not about travestism, not about fetishism, we speak about the skirt for men “to the masculine” and defend freedom to wear it in our everyday life as we wear trousers in the same way”. Skirt for men in everyday life Sometimes, elsewhere than in Historical films, we can see, in the medias men in skirt: dancers in skirt in some choreographies, singers such as Kyo in long black skirt or Beckham in sarong… etc But very few among us dare to face the glance of the others while wearing a skirt for man in everyday life. What is necessary to say is that, not like the make-up for men, skirts for men have nothing to do with those for women, because they are adapted to our morphology and our tastes. Some daring wearers of skirt affirm that the majority of the people they meet while walking have a rather neutral reaction and are not shocked. Today, men wearing skirt tell that they regret not having dared to profit of the comfort of e skirts before and also that they can’t find models at reasonable price in men’s clothing store. Moreover, wouldn't this last point increase the number of skirt wearers, especially during very hot summers like the one we frequently have? and Christophe Boucher from masculin.com) Collection Anders Landinger, Jupe pour homme © Mike Masoni :  Jean Paul Gaultier, collection hiver 2006 :
