Skirts are an item of clothing that have been around for a very long time. They were around long before pants, as skirts are easier to make and wear. It is easier to fit a skirt to the body than pants since they only attach at the waist. A skirt can be as simple as wrapping a piece of cloth around the waist and securing it.
At one point in history, skirts were commonly worn by both men and women. Today, however, it is uncommon to find men wearing skirts. The skirt is viewed as something that is feminine. The stereotype is that no one other than women and men who are pretending to be women wear skirts.
The Utilikilt steps in to trample all over this stereotype.
The utilikilt is roughly modeled off of traditional Scottish kilts. The utility model, shown above, was designed for men doing jobs such as shop work and construction work. One thing that is not commonly thought about is that shorts and pants can restrict movement. The Utilikilt brings freedom of movement to men. I believe it also allows them to express themselves more than pants or shorts do. This is a very well designed piece of clothing that is very functional. Other than the company logo on the back pocket, there is nothing on this kilt that is strictly for aesthetic reasons.
One thing that I really like about the Utilikilt brand is that it means that skirts aren’t just for girls anymore. I think that in our culture it has become easy for girls to wear what they want to wear. While in our resent past, it was unacceptable for girls to wear pants, they were able to break out of that mold. It is now easy for a girl it walk around wearing pants and a tie if she so wants.
This is not however the case for men. Even when wearing something as functional as the Utilikilt, men can be harassed for wearing a skirt. I think that the way we as a culture think of clothing for men is very limited. I don’t think that this should be the case. I think that people should be allowed to wear whatever it is they want to wear, without any gender distinctions.
I think that the Utilikilt allows men to wear skirts. It is my belief that many of the men who wear Utilikilt would not otherwise wear skirts on a regular basis. There isn’t any other product on the market that is quite like this one.
