The male skirt is no longer an eccentricity to win the streets, fashion shows and space in the collections of some of the most powerful brands on the planet. In large urban centers like São Paulo, New York, Paris, Tokyo or Madrid, it is increasingly common to see young men parading their skirts around.
The novelty is that, as in women’s fashion, the styles, lengths and shapes are very varied. There are prints, flowers, pleats, colors and also sober models for those who prefer to be more discreet (yes, it is possible to be discreet wearing a skirt). Designers around the world have adopted the idea of dressing boys in skirts and putting on a show of creativity.
