Theme: The custom of wearing skirt for Men
Speaking of skirts, we all tend to think about those worn by female mannequins in department stores. When I heard someone talk about a men wearing skirts, I immediately thought about comedian Xiao Shenyang. He became an overnight sensation in early 2010, after appearing in a comic skit where he dressed up in a Scottish skirt on CCTV’ widely Spring Festival Gala. Scottish skirts, or kilts, are often worn by Scottish army during the special ceremonies.
In our history, men had started to wear skirts long before women did. Around 2000 B.C, in the Shang dynasty, men’s wardrobes commonly included skirts. On the other hand, woman wearing skirts was not the norm until Han Dynasty, 18 centuries later or in 200 B.C.
Today, in some countries, men are banned to wear skirts, because they are considered as women’s garments. However, in the other countries, men even can wear high heel shoes and earring if they prefer.
