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.
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.
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.
Meanwhile I just wanna rock a linen thobe
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 🔥
Is the dog going to be okay?
Looks good on you! Life's too short to be uncomfortable with whatever/whoever you want to be.
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 :D
Skirt and socks should be black so the bag can be your accent 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
Yeah, me too. We'll get there. It will just take some time.
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
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)
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.
The statement is that it isn't a statement. An understatement, if you will.
It's a big part of looking classy. Why wear a diamond studded gold watch when you can wear a normal looking watch that those in the know will recognize as expensive?
Same principle. You don't necessarily notice the bag immediately, so when you do notice it you get to appreciate the outfit a second time. There's layers, which makes it sophisticated. Classy.
Whole ensemble looks great! Gender clothing rules are stupid, rock that shit!
Classy af
Had to look hard to even notice the skirt past the mismatched socks. 🤷
That's an asymmetrical pair. If it throws you, that's intentional. Clearly this isn't a person who wants to lull you with their conformity.
Everyone, everywhere... should wear what they dare.
Legitimately nice fit.
Not sure I get the bag though, to be honest.
I love the whole look, and especially the stripes on just one calf! Drawing the eye to the gray zone so we don't miss the doggie bag! The leggings/socks combo keeping you warm and also covered in case the December wind blows your skirt up. Or in case you just want to do a twirl! Pockets in the jacket in case your hands get cold.
10/10
Damn, you got drip
This comment thread is kinda dumb, you look great!! I love the dog haha
And welcome to Lemmy btw 🤗
looks neat
Hawt
I like your accessories. Normally I don't like mismatched socks, but it really works with this outfit.
