Fashion is one of those things that crosses boundaries. While women have adopted male clothing throughout the years, men are also slowly adopting apparel that comes with the tag of ‘only for women’. Lately, many social media influencers have been promoting the much needed concept that makeup and clothes like skirts and sarees should not be restricted to any gender. In one such instance of breaking gender stereotypes, two skirt-clad men were seen traveling in the Delhi Metro.
The video, shared by user Sameer Khan, shows him and his friend walking inside the Delhi Metro wearing a T-shirt, a denim skirt and a pair of sneakers, while others look on with wonder and curiosity.
The video was captioned as “clout chaser”, while the text overlay read, “Delhi metro mein skirt pehani thi”.

The video has received mostly positive reactions from people on Instagram, with many praising her confidence and sense of style. One user wrote, “Comfortable, stylish and super versatile.” Don’t see why everyone shouldn’t wear it. Another commented, “And boys say they don’t have much clothes other than shirts and pants, we can normalize these outfits.”
The act also started a buzz on social media to break stereotypes about gender-based clothing.
A third said, “Actually it’s not a bad idea…boys also have a right to new fashion changes.” A fourth said, “And killed it.” However, there were some who Weren’t on board with the concept. Another added, “Because of people like you, boys have lost their masculinity.”
In her defense, a user wrote, “Lungis are fine but not skirts?” I don’t think they really serve the same purpose.
Last month, a man wearing a skirt was seen walking the catwalk inside a Mumbai local train.
