Fall 2010 fashion: kilt-leg trousers

**Irish Jack O'Brian** · 7th October 10, 06:48 PM

Was wondering this weekend about a kilt for "fat" guys that had a bib, like bib overalls attached to it. No need for a sporran with the pockets in the bib, suspenders built in so no worries about the kilt staying up.

Methinks the Jacobs creation would look better if it were on both sides instead of just one side.

Well, since we've been learning in a couple other forum threads that matching and coordinating elements of an ensemble is overrated, I guess the fashion designers are trying to tell us that symmetry is overrated too.

Hot

Not

Marc Jacobs, also a known kilt proponent.

That is not what I'd call him. OK, I figure maybe he means well, and he gets a free pass for mucking about in left field on account of being in the fashion industry, but my inclination is more to demand that he not hijack a cultural icon any more than he already has. If I am out of line in thinking "right idea, wrong approach," may my pleats forever be worn in the front, like Mr. Jacobs'.

"Hey bro, there's some extra fabric hanging on the front of your skinny pants!"

No need for lynching. What the girl is wearing is cute and flirty. That just doesn't go, for guys, (OK OK OK "most heterosexual guys, even the ones who are metro") so what the guy is wearing isn't gonna make it off the catwalk, unless it's directly to Express For Men.

Did I really just say that?

Maybe what I'm trying to say is that I would happily bifurcate the first example, the second I find repulsive, and I identify strongly with the third example. Yep. Chickens in the back yard, even.

Where did this come from, if I may ask? I'd love to share this with our St. Andrew's Society, since we are in "The Queen City of the Ozarks"!

LOL! Glad you enjoyed it. I was moved to do this little drawing when I heard the idea of 'overall/kilt'. You are welcome to share it with the Society. May I ask, what is "The Queen City of the Ozarks"?
