^that is the only context in which I like skirts on guys. When they're black and worn with a black blazer, they don't appear feminine in the slightest.

Or non-religious, but fascinated with things like links the philosopher of mathematics Albert Lautman finds between the philosophical problematic of perfection/imperfection as it is expressed in Descartes on God, and the same problematic as it is expressed in modern algebra.*
*way too technical for a fashion forum, but here's the relevant quote on the off chance that anyone is interested in the sort of thing:
"Not only does imperfection presuppose perfection but, and this is the other point that we insist on, imperfection being only a privation, it is possible, solely by consideration of the imperfect, to determine the attributes of the perfect being. This is what the text of the Discourse
shows: For, according to the arguments I have just advanced, in order to know the nature of God, as far as my own nature was capable of knowing it, I had only to consider, for each thing of which I found in myself some idea, whether or not it was a perfection to possess it; and I was sure that none of those which indicated any imperfection was in God, but that all the others were. (Descartes 1985, 128)The distance that separates perfection from imperfection is thus inscribed in the very nature of the imperfect being. The mind rises to the absolute in a movement whose steps are controlled by the end that is perceived from the starting point. The structure of the imperfect being then takes on its true meaning: its complication or its obscurity are only deviations with respect to the transparent simplicity of the final vision, the ascent towards perfection seems to go through in reverse the stages of an anteriordegradation.It is possible to retrieve in some theories of modern algebra similar rela-tions between perfection and imperfection, we will study in this chapter the necessity of this reference to an absolute which lets itself be seen in the imperfect nature of certain mathematical entities, and this ascent toward it in a series of steps each of which effaces some impurity, up to the last where every defect is rectified. This is a very different mode of thought to those arising in ordinary arithmetic. Arithmetic is in effect the domain of recurrence to infinity, whereas what is characteristic of the movement of the theories that will be considered is the existence of an end conceived in advance as a term of the ascent. In class field theory, that goal is the absolute class field, in the theory of the uniformization of algebraic or ana-lytic functions on a Riemann surface, it is the universal covering surface.The logical framework of each of these two theories is derived from Galois’ theory of algebraic equations. Although several authors
have also already presented the philosophical importance of this, we think it should be shown anew how it contains the mathematical tools necessary for the passage to the absolute."

Never said it was a skirt
Its indeed an apron, but extended so that it wraps all the way around. I do always wear pants with it, though"AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.
