Actually a question my daughter asked me.
Would I wear a skirt or dress if they weren’t viewed as women’s clothing? I couldn’t think of a reason why not. Plenty of cultures have had men’s clothes that were similar eg the Romans.
It feels like men miss out. When I see what women at work wear, it seems like they can wear everything, from business suits, through skirts, dresses or jeans, whilst men are stuck in shirts and trousers.
I don’t suppose that will change anytime soon.
Saying that, I am hopeless at buying clothes and it would be even more of a nightmare if there was more choice!

I'm sure that there are cultures out there where men wear what we would see as a skirt or dress. Where its hot and you don't want sweaty balls.
Plus Scotland, where it cold and damp.
It's weird, what's seen as normal. When I started work in 1989 as a Graduate Engineer. We wore suits, shirt and tie put a white coat on if you went into the lab or into the factory.
In the last 15 years, I've been wearing black 501s and polo shirts. Some with company logo some not. And a fleece. Lots of engineers were in TShirts.
The job I've just started have a vague dress code but it specifically says no jeans or T shirts.

I can see the advantage of some sort of one piece outfit like a dress or long tunic so you don't need a waistband or belt which can be uncomfortable at times. Could be annoying when your out and need a poo.
I've tried a Jubbah in hot weather and that was a winner, sans briefs it would have been even better. The lack of a waist and crotch makes for plenty of air movement.Was less of a fan of the leather miniskirt, but it was a lot more comfortable than the heels that went with it.

Quote, "In April, the forces command issued a new directive stipulating that gender-fluid, non-binary and intersex people could choose the uniform, grooming, physical standards and accommodation that best aligned with their gender identity."Unfair discrimination against the CIS members of the forces who have to wear the same boring uniform? So Goths and gay men can't wear nail varnish, but the gender fluid can?
Most Unfair.
