In the early 1900's, women became tired of being strapped into tightly corsetted silhouettes and tripping over floor-length skirts, and desired the same relaxation and comfort of men. Skirts above the ankle? Scandolous, yes. But totally worth it. For over a century now, women have adopted men's styles.

Still today, women are influenced by more and more menswear styles.
Why aren't men doing the same? How do ladies on campus feel about men wearing women's-inspired and women's clothing?

Princess in Plaid

Did you know that the plaid, or tartan pattern, that you are wearing was originally worn only by men?
No.
Ya, tartan wasn't worn by women until the mid 18oo's and before then was strictly for military distinctions and only worn by men. How do you feel about wearing a menswear influence today and not even knowing it?
I don't really care. I like the shirt so I bought it. There's a lot of stuff in my closet that probably has some "men's history" behind them but I wear what I like and want to wear without thinking about that.
How would you feel about a man saying the same thing? With dresses, skirts, and heels in his closet?
Haha. I'd probably say he was gay, but at least he's comfortable with it enough to have those things.
