Billy Porter, a style icon currently in the US, appeared on the Oscar's red carpet dressed in a completely unique costume by designer Christian Siriano. A black jacket that ends up in a swollen bottom to the bottom of the foot.
This is not the first time the actor and the singer make such a special choice. For her, fashion is a good opportunity to express and represent what you are.
However, his dress inspired us to bring you back to the story of the bond between men and women.
Men have worn skirts since antiquity. "Kaunakes" was the unisex dress that men and women wore in Mesopotamia. The sum of Sumerian culture should have been longer if you were a simple and tall soldier if you enjoyed high status in society.
The ancient Greeks also had their typical white dress worn with a strap in the middle.
A similar style embraced the Romans
The Germans wore such an end, which Greek historian Diodorus Siculus called "chiton".
In fact, almost all antique dresses were based on the last idea; because it was the simplest style to design and create a lot of ease in movement.
You could have been fighting, working in a building or performing religious rituals, and the bottoms were the ideal outfit.
From here, the steriotype that the bottoms are feminine garment and masculine pants, falls down. In fact, the origin of the trousers came in need: people should be protected from the cold. Also, during the ride something more secure for the body, as the bottoms were not as practical.
However, this kind of "bias" officially started around the 19th century. For a very long time, short skirts were the basis for men's clothing in the European Renaissance.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, nobles in England and other countries, besides the bottoms, began to wear their socks or swollen pants below them.
For the first time, the use of pants started in children in the 19th century. Boys aged 4-7 were given the first trousers to indicate that they are now adults. Of course, this is also related to the new ideas that spread around a child's childhood or brain.
A pair of trousers would make the boy a "man" and from that time on, the bottoms became increasingly unacceptable for the little boys.
Nowadays, the idea that bottoms are very feminine clothing comes from the west. In other cultures, such as India, Japan, Scotland, or Southeast Asia, bottoms are perfectly acceptable to be worn by men.
