H&M what are you thinking?

I was looking up the Spring collections for the high street earlier and came across this. It's part of H&M's mens collection for Spring 2010.
Man skirts!!??

Now, I live in Scotland where our national dress is the Kilt so really a man skirt shouldn't shock me at all! However, this couldn't be further from a kilt, it is a pleated skirt that my mother would wear to the office.

I am all for bold fashion choices and love that H&M break the rules but in this instance I just don't see how it can work!

Even my husband, who is known for having his own unique, fashion forward but tasteful style looked on at this in disgust and agrees that it just won't work, even in our very own country of skirt wearers!

Maybe H&M or our fashion savvy/victim public will prove us wrong?

What do you think? Have H&M taken it too far?!

    This is dreadful! Looks like a school skirt, but longer! Haha :) Oh dear! Sad thing is, it might actually catch on - surely there's enough males that like to branch out, and really try anything to be "unique"? I do hope not though - I don't think I could handle that sight! Haha :) Made me laugh though, so thank you! :)
    Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year with your hubby!
    Love, Lucy @ lucytalksbeauty.blogspot.com :) xx

    [mode ironic ON]WTF... Womens in pants it's just for lesb...[mode ironic OFF]
    Such brainless posts demonstates how womens are machos ! YOU have the right to wear everything you want including men's stuff but men who wear a masculine skirt like that it result :"lol, haha" and sometimes homophobic reactions !
    I'm not less men because I wear skirts like that, I'm more men because I got the balls to wear it in public !
