I wouldn't wear ladies jeans, they pertain to a woman. You innately know that too, and so you'd condemn ladies jeans on a man. Surely, you wouldn't approve.

Our family shops at the goodwill and there is always alot of girls jeans put in boys section. If you don't recognize brand labels a lot of the time you can't tell the difference. Girls jeans are more immodest. The waistline on girls pants hang a lot lower most of the time, but it has more to do with immodesty then separation.

Hey, George Washington wore hosiery, watch it pal. Lol
In fact, hosiery was originally a male article of clothing as it pertains to outer wear. Notice, now your position is defined by culture as you know it. Ultimately culture is the primary lens by which we define propriety. And yes, hosiery on men might make a comeback. Weird, but true.

It wouldn't surprise me.

No matter what turn culture makes, we can apply unchanging principle. Men's hosiery might make a comeback, but men wearing ladies hosiery will still be improper.
I assure you, styles might be similar, but both male and female styles and attire will remain uniquely distinct.

In other words if they stamp a man's label on a dress and culture accepts it, then it is o.k.
