I think this is the first time I’ve ever posted anything that discusses men wearing skorts rather than skirts. The article is from 2024 and we know the answer to the question posed by the title, but one can still dream!
I’ve never actually tried skorts. To me, they defeat the purpose of wearing a non-bifurcated lower garment.
Are Skorts Going Mainstream in Menswear?
The traditionally feminine silhouette has appeared all over the Fall 2024 men’s runways, and it may become a staple sooner than you think.
How would you rate this post?
Fully agree that skorts (the silly combination of a skirt with shorts) are not very attractive garments for men, because they still have all the disadvantages of shorts and lack the freedom of skirts.
However, if men start wearing skorts, it will also become easier for us to wear real skirts, which are visually quite similar.
It could be a kind of transition, perhaps.
Nope. Skorts are like most compromises in design, combining the worst aspects of each root. As you say, Alex, they reproduce the main disadvantage of two-hole bottom garments, in tying the alternating motion of walking legs to the otherwise immobile crotch contents. Yet they also present the flyaway possibility and bend-over limits of a true skirt, too. Just dumb for men, they are well suited to ladies playing tennis.
Agree, I can understand the skort as a separate fashion item, but as a stepping stone to skirts, I don’t see the point. I think I would be better to focus on efforts to make skirts mainstream for men.
I tried a skort several years ago, didn’t like it as it felt like wearing shorts under a skirt. Wasn’t an enjoyable experience, never wore one again.
