Yes ! Men in Skirts and Dresses ! That's what it's gonna be on the streets in coming years. A trend which is slowly building up strong from past a few year. John Galliano, Comme Des Garcons, Etro , Marc Jacobs have done it in the past and in this fashion week also (Men's SS2012) it was repeated by greats like Yohji Yamamoto , Rick Owens and few else. The androgynous look is getting stronger and is being accepted by the people as fashion steps in the 3G era. However, if you think that these looks are just meant to be on catwalk then you need to be updated ! Ask Scott Schuman, the great cool hunter who has captured quite a few men in skirt through his lenses for his blog.
I would really like to know what women has to say about this ?

RICK OWENS
Rick Owens' signature style is Gothicism, Vampirish which is often cut into a structured silhouette and it sometimes dealt with volumes but this time it was little different as his men came in long dresses with geometrical prints / patterns, short dresses beneath the blazer were worn over straight skirts but the coolest look was the one in which short sleeveless top was worn and wrapped over a long dress in some short of monkish way ! Very interesting.
YOHJI YAMAMOTO
Yohji Yamamoto, known for his ground breaking designs which usually takes the route of super fine and awesome fabrics cut into a silhouette that has a lot of volume, relaxed, baggie and not to forget that all of these comes mostly in "Black" - his signature style ! This time, he sent his men in skirts, loose fluid short-pants which came in various colors, prints and stripes. Though the collection was very Asian inspired but it spoke of a character which doesn't care about caste, creed and age but only fashion !
