When it comes to questions of fashion, I'm probably not the right person to talk to. I don't know when a person should start or stop wearing the color white, I don't know if wedges should be worn with blue jeans and I'm not really sure if horizontal stripes make my butt look bigger and vertical stripes make me look taller. But one thing I'm pretty sure of, is that even though male models are walking the runways wearing them, the chances of seeing a guy wearing a skirt while walking at Best Buy is probably pretty slim.

I would like to make one thing clear. I'm not talking about men wearing kilts. According to the trends from the 2015-2016 Fall and Spring Fashion Week, the new man-skirt is having it's moment in the spotlight.

Recently a number of designers introduced some new "hemlines" for men. What started as pants with dropped crotches, changed to men in skorts, to men wearing an actual SKIRT on the fashion runways.

Has the man-skirt’s time become a reality? Designers like Rick Owens, Junya Watanabe and Yohji Yamamoto say, "Possibly," but judging by Instagram and the crowds that frequent Fashion Week, maybe it should be "Probably."

Men's skirts are now starting to pop up in some television shows and people against 'manspreading' is starting to become more popular.  (By the way, in case you are new to the term, 'manspreading' is the practice of sitting in public transportation with legs wide apart, thereby covering more than one seat.) Think about it, if more men started wearing skirts, 'manspreading' would have to stop!

When it comes to men wearing skirts, there are those that say it might be the new comfortable trend for men, while others say that this will not catch on and is very impractical.

Maybe to help ease men into the idea of wearing a skirt, they should start with something called the Utilikilt. This is a rugged cotton version of the Scottish heritage item with Carhartt-style pockets for your tools. Or....maybe not.

Either way, remember that fashion changes almost daily. So the chances of seeing a man wearing a skirt at Borrowed Bucks on a Saturday night is probably not going to happen!
