The black skirt, which comes down to right above the ankles, fits pretty snug on the backside, allowing the guy to put into high gear whatever booty action he’s got going for him back there. Maybe perennial skirt-wearing designer Marc Jacobs, who’s been trying really hard to establish the skirt as a staple of a man wardrobe, will have his way after all. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gender-bending Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to create unconventional clothing that challenges traditional gender norms. - **Inclusive Fashion:** Creating clothing that is accessible to individuals of all genders, allowing for self-expression without limitations. - **Breaking Gender Stereotypes:** Promoting acceptance and diversity by showcasing men in traditionally feminine clothing. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Apparel:** Opportunity for brands to cater to a growing demand for gender-neutral fashion. - **Retail and E-commerce:** Online retailers can offer a wide range of inclusive clothing options, providing a platform for unconventional fashion brands. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunity for campaigns that challenge societal norms and promote inclusivity and diversity in fashion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limitless Occasion Suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aw24-suiting-collection.md) - [Men-Focused Everyday Wear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-mens.md) - [Future-Facing Suit Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-neo-suit.md) - [Velvety Soft Mens Undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-men.md) - [Inaugural Men-Focused Wedding Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perry-ellis1.md) - [Luxury Men's Footwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-mens-footwear.md) - [Workwear Suit Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tripster-x-dickies.md) - [Towel-Resembling Luxe Skirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/towel-skirt.md) - [Sporty Modular Cargo Skirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-cargo-midi.md)
