Men's skirts today are gender nonconforming clothing, but fashion history is full of skirts and dresses that were definitely mens fashion! It's often said that the ancient Romans considered trousers barbaric, and Roman fashion was full of dress-like tunics for men. Why don't we call them dresses? Gender stereotypes in fashion. In medieval mens fashion, it was more common to wear a tunic over long hose rather than trousers or pants, and long skirts symbolized status and wealth. Traditional attire from all over the world includes skirts for men, from the well-known Scottish kilt to the Albanian and Greek fustanella, the Yemeni izaar, the Arabic thawb, a huge number of sarong and wrap skirt styles, and even Japanese kimono. These are only some of the traditional skirts in mens style through the ages, and throughout fashion history, skirts and dresses have been gender neutral clothing as often as not. Why did men stop wearing skirts? It's complicated : fashion evolution is affected by colonization and globalization, as well styles changing gender expression over time.
