Description
Honestly, I don't think it'd be that bad if skirts, or at least more creative fancy clothing was socially acceptable for men to wear. It would make a nice change from the same black or blue suit we've had for the last... forever? Ah well. Maybe that's just me.Related content

Trace is a very convincing crossdresser, along many others in manga and anime... I hope to see this in the next page....

You could always wear a kilt with a nice colorful tartan pattern... But yeah, I agree that tuxedos and business suits are boring. It kinda makes me miss the Napoleonic-era dress uniforms--at least they had nice lines and some color to them.

I wholeheartedly agree, Tom. I'm sick of women on the news and going to award shows and so on always constantly being scrutenized over their choice of gown or dress or whatever, but all the men are all wearing very slight variations on the same damn thing... I think I like everything about your outfit sans the skirt, which feels WAY too much like it came right off of Ashe from final fantasy 12

Totally agree with you - and I think you've actually created an awesome look for a skirt-rocking dude there! As many have said, male skirts were a thing in the past, and their time will come again. Would love to try something like this as a cosplay - thanks for the inspiration

...Tom, you do know that skirts were popularΒ for menΒ nearly 500 years ago, right? Either way, it just seems a bit...oh what's the word...gay for todays fashion.

Yea, I've always wished that men had more fun clothes that were socially acceptable to wear. Β And male earrings are all boring too. Β Bah.

You should make a colored version of this! I'd be a good one to colorize! Great job! Keep up the great art!

Kilts dude, thas where its at
I've worn a kilt at the Renaissance Festival a few times, some peoples reactions are classic. Gotta have the Scottish pride and self confidence to pull it off properly though. Plus having a claymore slung over your back helps keep certain individuals from taking their antics too far XD

Whenever I read the word 'claymore' I want to add "this side towards enemy".
Which also works for the classical version, though which side the pointy end goes generally doesn't need an explanation ^^

Dunno about a skirt. Definite style issue there. A kilt I would be willing to try.

I'd like to see more creative clothing for men as well. (and not the fashion runway type. . .)

I agree whole heartedly tom.
You probably already know this, but the clothing standards of today orginate primarily (but not exclusively) from victorian england, due to how that is where the industrial revolution started.
This is the time when dresses and Pantaloons (where the word pants comes from) were separated into exclusive catagories for mass production.
The men got the pantaloons because they were working in the factories with the big machines, so they needed tight clothing and short hair to prevent stuff from getting caught in the fast moving mechanisms.
The women got the dresses because that is what Queen Victora herself would wear, so people thought that because she was a royalty she should be an example for all the peasant and noble women to follow.
Before this time, clothing was gender ambiguous. Men and women wore tunics (like what Link from the legend of zelda wears, except usually not green because in those days dye was expensive)
The greeks often wore togas, Roman soldiers wore plate mail skirts, those same romans considered the psudo-pantaloon wearing Barbarian tribes like the Ostogoths and Visigoths to be primitive and savage.
Chinese and Japanese men wore long hair as a symbol of social status (often having servants make it look all fancy) along with their long groomed facial hair.
North american aboriginals wore smocks and animal hides and moccasins and Had long braided hair.
The scottish kilt is one of the few of these traditions to be continued in the modern age.
Quite frankly there are so many examples that I should stop here because the list would be so long it would take a whole page otherwise.
Weird huh? To be honest, anyone who does not really keep this in mind consistently annoy me greatly, because the best way to comprehend the present, is to know the past.
I guess even in a medival fantasy world stuff like this goes unoticed by the public at large.

I agree with the thought that it sucks that men dont get any cool fancy clothes. was just talking to a girl i know at work about that the other day. Of course then she mentioned guys can wear kilt's, BUT ITS NOT THE SAME!
