In a surprising twist in the world of fashion, the latest trend sweeping the globe is men embracing women’s clothing. This new fad, dubbed “Womenswear for Men,” is not just a fleeting trend but a bold statement of individuality and comfort.
From flowy skirts to elegant blouses, men are redefining traditional gender norms and finding freedom in styles previously reserved for women. Fashion icons and celebrities have been spotted sporting these looks, inspiring a wave of followers eager to experiment with their wardrobes.
Fashion experts attribute this shift to a growing acceptance of gender fluidity and a desire for more diverse and comfortable clothing options. “It’s about breaking down barriers and expressing oneself without constraints,” says renowned fashion designer Alex Monroe. “Men are discovering the versatility and comfort of women’s clothing and it’s changing the fashion landscape.”

Retailers are quickly adapting to this trend, with many launching new lines specifically designed for men who want to explore women’s fashion. Popular items include tailored dresses, stylish jumpsuits, and even high heels designed for male feet.
Social media is abuzz with hashtags like #MenswearRevolution and #FashionFreedom, as men proudly share their new looks and inspire others to join the movement. Influencers are hosting virtual fashion shows and offering tips on how to incorporate women’s clothing into everyday wear.

I believe it would help the cause of men wearing "womenswear" if those who wear such garments as myself would use their real masculine names and pronouns.
ReplyDeleteWhen I post on crossdressers.com and on this blog, I use my real masculine name as John instead of a made up feminine name. Furthermore in my signature block on crossdressers.com, I specify my preferred pronouns of "he, him, his".
My dresses, heels, nail polish, and earrings are MINE and not some some woman's. And I talk with my deep masculine voice rather than trying to imitate a woman.
Thus I'm a "freestyler" rather than a crossdresser.

This is so well-written! My excitement was building with each paragraph, wondering when it would finally be "acceptable" to wear my stilettos to the office, or combine a menswear top with a skirt on warm days, or add colorful tights to the basic black and gray... The possibilities are endless! Someday❣️
ReplyDeleteMaybe going to the office with unconventional clothing might be too risky but otherwise there's nothing holding you back except maybe a wife to keep you from dressing en femme. I have received virtually no harassment for dressing en femme.
DeleteSomeday - that is a word that can be interpreted as never in practice as that day is pushed out ad infinitum. Just as women were brave enough to start wearing trousers we men need to start wearing dresses and skirts as I do.
And women were endlessly harassed for wearing trousers unlike my experience of almost no harassment.
There will NEVER by a change in the coffin sized clothing conventions for men until we start expanding our clothing choices.

The male me does not want the option of having "women's clothing". I'm not a scot, so the kilt is not an option, but the kilt worn by a scot is not a mans's skirt.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who has visited Pakistan, or large parts of northern India will have noted the the outfit of common choice, man and woman is the salwar kameez. Long tunic top and baggy pants. Yes there are differences especially colour, fabric and decoration. I'm sure Stana could find a picture of a man's outfit and that of a woman. I have had and worn with pleasure a woman's salwar kameez (and have picture, if I could show it) But I have also worn a sari-it lives lonely in the wardrobe...sad.
As for the male skirt, just look at the clothing worn by men in a lot of South East Asia; The bottom half is a skirt, whatever it is called!
A close woman friend who is happy to go out with me (Lily) says that, if I was a modern woman, I would wear pants most of the time, but she won't convert me....even if they have a side or back aip.

I'm with Elise! Every next sentence raised my spirit and made a bigger and bigger smile in my heart! I was ready to put on a skirt and do a little dance. I fell for it "hook line and sinker"! That didn't erase the good vibes, but I did feel a little return to reality. :) No regrets. And someday....soon we all hope....it will become the norm.
ReplyDeleteRight? I was already imagining being able to *actually* use the Femulate Her photos as inspiration for my daily outfit!
