Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

While we were strolling down Fifth Avenue in NY this week, there was a window display for a men's store and it had a mannequin with a knee length skirt on. It was kind of a kilt look, but was definitely a skirt-suit. Very strange. I know there was a thread earlier with some weird pictures, but this is the first time I had seen it in a window of a really expensive men's store. Everything else was rather conservative. I don't even remember which store it was, but it kind of shocked me.

Well, Sherri, this is what you wanted. You should be happy. A world with no standards. If this fashion becomes mainstream you would have to let your praise singers (men) wear this outfit since Jesus only looks at the heart not what you wear - remember???

I dont think it would be sin for a man to wear a skirt or kilt but I would not enjoy wearing one, I'll just keep my pants. It would feel quite ackward to sit across from a man in a buisiness meeting or an interview wearing a skirt! Perhaps I should start shaving my legs, Oh wait, I forgot, I aint wearing no skirt!

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

I don't think this man-skirt thing is anything to be very concerned about. I see it as a passing fancy. Kind of like the dresses made out of paper back in the '70's. I don't think men in general will latch onto the idea. At least none of the men who I know will be willing to every wear one. That much I can guarantee.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

I know men who've been wearing skirts for years.

And I know men who wear kilts.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

I wouldn't brush it off so fast. You should hear what the youth are doing in public schools nowadays. We have some members who teach at some of the local high schools ... it's BAD.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

I think we need to see a pic of this one... lol

Hmm, I do see the comfort of it. The ..................umm................."freedom"

Think thats why most men find sweats more comfortable than slacks or jeans..

Hmmm, men wearing skirts ......

Of course they have to be below the knee when sitting.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

My son is in the local high school. And my other son is going to Shawnee State University and living in the dorms. You are right. There is some BAD stuff that happens in the schools. But I've checked and both of them laugh at the idea of a man or boy wearing a skirt.

Now a kilt is a different story. That's a cultural thing. It's been going on for generations. But even those men don't wear them all the time, right?

And men dressing as women has also been going on for a long time. Just like homosexuality has been going on for a long time. And cheating on your spouse has been going on for a long time. Doesn't make it right. But I think that there are a smaller percentage of men who dress in women's clothes than there are men who cheat on their wives, or men who like other men. Am I right?

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

What I'm saying is, it may be the young generation that introduces this not the older ones who would never wear a skirt. the younger ones are always looking for something to make a statement and to stand out as going against mainstream culture. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if it catches fire out here in the public schools. It may be somewhat more traditional where you are from.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

You COULD be right, Mark. We've certainly seem some things become acceptable in my life-time that no one would have ever thought acceptable before (abortion, etc.) I hope and pray that it does not. But we've also seen fads come and go. So I just hope this is one of those passing fad things.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

Well they can't get me in one of those things I promise ya.!




unless of course they make them in camo......

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

You said a mouth full....isn't this what you folks over here want? If they're in the mens department and they're made for a man....how can it be wrong?

Gotcha there....:hook

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

Do you know why they wear them? I am just curious.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

Some cuz of the statement it makes.

Some because they're comfortable.

My best friend and her husband used to fight over his kilt (not bad fight....but play fight...they have since purchased a few more to share...lol). FWIW, it's not cultural for him at all. It's a comfort thing.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

Isn't that strange, because a lot of women wear jeans instead of skirts, because they are comfortable.
I saw a boy today with bell bottom jeans on. And they hung real loose on him. But that may have been because he looked really skinny.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

No doubt. I hate skirts. They are not comfortable IMO. lol

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

Skirts are out for men now, but before any man wore slacks, they wore skirts and dresses:

From an article entitled The History of Trousers, by Andy Gilchrist, we read:

Mark, Mark, Mark, I'm glad we're friends or my feelings would be really hurt.:christmaskiss

If men's skirts catch on anywhere, it will be in your neck of the woods, not here in Redneck Tennessee. I doubt that we'll have to worry about that here. But if a praise singing man shows up in one, I'll let you know first so you can make a NEWS FLASH!!!

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

I keep wearing my pants that come from the men's dept,if I wear some from the ladieswear dept,that would say I'm light on the loafers.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

Good grief Mark !! This statement to Sherri is totally out of line. WHY on earth would you say such a thing?

because Ed and sherri don't preach hell fire on a women who chooses not be bound by the false doctrine of dresses only on women, you say she wants a world with no standards.

You, and thinkers like you, don't make a lick of sense.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

I ain't talkin' to any man who is wearing a skirt,
unless he is properly accessorized....

...with knee socks, a funny hat, and bagpipes.


SOS
:usa

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

:lol

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

Redneck Tennessee....now that's not nice. My roots run deep in Tennessee and that little statement is offensive to me. :bigbaby

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

Well, sorry. My roots run deep in Redneck Southern Illinois where everyone gets out of school for the first day of deer season. So I sure wasn't making fun of Tennessee.:santathumb

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

Mark is only teasing. HE LOVES ME!!:christmasjig

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

Am I the only one who does not think we have to choose either?

If the females in my family wear skirts, do we then by definition demand all who do otherwise go straight to hell? I think not.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

This thread reminds me of the ray steven's song "the Pirate song"

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

What part of Tenn?? anywhere near murfreesboro?

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

I'm in Jackson (west), but my son goes to MTSU in Murfreesboro. In fact, he's driving back there right now.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

"Redneck" is not always an insult.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

no no no. You don't understand.

The right extremists say everyone else is going to hell.

The left extremists bash everone else for a backwards false doctrine.

All the sane ones in the middle just believe what they believe, and are content to agree to disagree.

You simply MUST fit into one of those steriotypes.:hook

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

Then yeah, thats definatly "redneck" tennessee.
My wife's from there, and she'd be the first to tell ya so LOL.

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

You wife's from Jackson???? Did she grow up UPC?

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

Sherri all kindding aside this time
Let's say IF (emphasis on "IF") skirts on the guys in the younger generation eventually became hip and mainstream, what would you do if they wanted to wear it on the platform for P & W?????

would you set a "STANDARD" ?????

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

We do have a platform standard. It doesn't include skirts on men, and I seriously doubt if it would ever be allowed in my lifetime. It's not necessarily a "sin", I guess, but it's not attractive and it would draw attention. That's my stance, and I'm sticking to it.:christmoose

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

It wouldn't be wrong for a man to wear a dress Sherri???????
LORD HELP US

Re: Man's Skirt in NY 5th Ave. Window
 

It would depend on the man wearing it, if it was wrong or not. For instance if I wore a skirt it would be wrong because my legs are so sexy looking, but if St. Mark wore one it would not be sin because He doesn't have sexy legs like mine.. it would just be really gross and sickening!
