    Omg!

    Not to judge, but... they all seem to have been struck by the "Long Kilt High Hose Syndrome" Someone should send a memo!

    There seems to be an reluctance for men to show their knees these days. It appears to be the present trend in short trousers (shorts here) as well. More and more they seem to be worn half way between the knee and the ankle. Are men suddenly ashamed of their legs or something? We've see a similar trend in basketball shorts over the past 30 years or so. Not sure if they're related.

    I like seeing celebrities kilted as much as anyone, although I don't care for the longer jackets being worn. Nor the long kilts, for that matter. But, fashion shows again allude me so perhaps it's a fashion show thing. I do like the tartans too.

    I don't know, if you ever saw what my knees looked like, you'd probably tell me to cover up as well!
