Fancy a man in a man skirt?

Fearless fashionistas, do you prefer your men rocking a “man skirt?”

Department store chain Harvey Nichols just held a fashion show at their London location on March 22, 2012, to give the general public and their patrons a taste of what is on offer at their stores this Spring/Summer 2012 season from various designers and labels including the “man skirt.”

Plaid inspired by Ralph Lauren’s cowboy ways!

How amazing the Ralph Lauren Harper Plaid Twill Tunic looks with a tiered skirt. Catalog image by Ralph Lauren.

I have to admit that as the temperatures are plummeting in Atlanta this January, I have developed the biggest crush on plaid and tartan.

Accidentally, I discovered this really awesome plaid top, by Ralph Lauren – if a little out of my budget – their Harper Plaid Twill Tunic, normally $265.00, now marked down to $179.00 (still a little out of my league!).

Pairing military separates with tropical prints

While one is trying to keep warm with this sudden temperature drop in Atlanta, it’s a welcome respite to think of breezy Hawaiian tropical prints, paired with a warm military style camel hued bomber jacket…

For warmer weather, this rust coloured cargo pocket jacket...

these rust lightweight cargo jogger pants...

Or these olive green cargo jogger pants...

sherpa trimmed sage green jacket to go with olive pants...

H&M olive drab plisse pleated dress

And this olive puffer for its flak jacket appeal...

slinky leopard long sleeve top

Creating the look with this authentic Hawaiian shirt!

and I would add these amber lens aviator sunglasses with tortoiseshell arms...

And these retro olive sunglasses...

These glowing golden olive mossy sunglasses

and these black peeptoe booties...

Olive 🫒 green glitter jelly sandals

to go with the olive pants, this olive green bag

To go with the leather bomber jacket 

The look was inspired by Marie Claire magazine who had a feature in their January 2012 issue entitled Tropical Storm that is all about pairing military separates with tropical prints in the way of Hawaiian Aloha shirts.
