What do you think about guys wearing girl's clothing?
Is there a point where it goes from being done for fashion to being a fetish?
Would you let your partner wear girl's clothes? Girl's undergarments? Makeup?
I know there is the old standard of the goth guy in the skirt but in more recent years it has gone further than that.
Last year John Galliano released his first collection of men's Haute Couture since the mid '80s and it included things such as a frilly, floral dress pushed down onto the hips and teamed with a beaten-up leather jacket.
There was a coyote-fur coat lined with lingerie lace and a suit jacket that had a skimpy g-string folded into the breast pocket to resemble a 'kerchief.
Jean Paul Gaultier has also released a line of makeup for men with things such as eyeliner, lipstick, that sort of stuff.
Personally, I have been pillaging my mum's wardrobe for years when I go out. I am happy to wear girl's tops (if they're not low cut or with a shirt underneath) because they tend to have good pictures on them. Skirts over leather pants or black trousers is fairly common, and I have borrowed jackets more times than I can count.
Ever since I was young I've thought that girl's clothing was more inventive, more detailed, better looking than the standard guy's outfit of jeans, shirt, shoes, jacket.
Now, I'm not saying (necessarily) that men should wear evening gowns instead of penguin suits but what I am saying is that it should be ok for a guy to buy clothes from either side of a shop and not be afraid to wear a skirt if he thinks it looks good.
After all, it's quite alright for women to wear men's clothing and no one says a word yet if a guy decides to chuck a skirt over his trousers or wear a girl's jacket he is called a 'fag' or a 'crossdresser' and isolated by the mainstream community.

I realize this is probably a bit of a rant but, yeah. What do you think?
Should it be ok for guys to wear whatever they like in the same way girls can?
Your not alone, alot of people out there, well maybe not enough but the intrest in men wearing wemon's clothing being more common is growing. With things like the utili-kilt, a kilt that has pockets and isn't necisarily made of a plaid tartan, and the desinger you mentioned above, it is becoming more and more common.
Personelly I sometimes find wearing skirts more comfortable than pants.
