When we talk about androgynous fashion, we usually mean female-presenting people in outfits that incorporate or echo menswear. One seldom sees male-presenting people doing the same with womenswear, at least in the mainstream.
I think some of that must be a side effect of the privileging of traits, roles, and characteristics associated with masculinity over those associated with femininity—a woman in masculine-associated roles or clothing is moving in the direction of higher status and increased social privilege, at least implicitly; a man in feminine-associated roles or clothing, lower. We associate women in menswear with freedom and assertion; men in womenswear with deviation, grotesquerie, and parody.
How fucked up is that?

I think he is really awesome-looking in that clothing. Horrah for breaking social norms. Myself, I try not to wear girly clothes because of what it is associated with. I want to be taken seriously… but then again this guy should be able to wear whatever and should be applauded as well.

About

I'm Sarah the 17 year old philosopher (well, not really)...
~~

I love to think creatively and fashion stories in my head. I also like to dab a bit 'o paint here and there and somehow make landscapes, though I can't forget about my buddy music. I embrace most forms of music, including all types of foreign song, but I also handle the performing aspect of music: I used to take drum and piano lessons, and combining that makes me the Marimba player in my high school's Marching Band.
So yeah, basically a Right-Brainer. :)
___________
I also do a lot of "manly" stuff, according to my friends. Taekwondo for one, I love excercising. People around me think I'm a rough-and-tumble girl who is a little off-kilter. I am okay with this. ^^
