If someone would start selling those nifty suffragette pantaloons you can bicycle in I bet they could sell a bunch.
But every skirt in stores looks like a horrible tube that will rutch up on your tush as you walk like an handsy subway creeper; you try to walk in little tiny steps. Sitting without flashing? Some kind of mysterious party trick.
Then there's a whole article in the fashion section hand wringing if skirts that aren't tight are "too conservative"
This is the article. It's not that bad I guess. But, it really is bizarre to me that anyone would think flared skirts are old fashioned. Haven't they come back like 3 times since the 80s?
Also these fashion people seem unaware of the influence of cosplay and international fashion. The full skirt has been a big deal in Korea for several years. Why? It's warm, comfortable and easy to sit down.
@futurebird I've been noticing lately that any time a designer features clothing with any significant amount of ease, the magazines hand-wring about being "conservative". Meanwhile, it's often not conservative necessarily at all, just comfortable (or at least more comfortable).
And yeah, nobody writing for fashion magazines knows any fashion history beyond their own (inevitably still-brief) lifetimes.
