Suzy Menkes has a lovely piece in The New York Times‘ current T magazine about fusion fashion. For a long time, she says, gender bending or cross-dressing — that is, dressing as though you were a member of the opposite sex — has been a sign of feminism or gay pride. “The concept of women dressing like men to shatter the glass ceiling hung around throughout the 1980s.” (And some of the more successful female politicians, such as Hillary Clinton, still do it, she notes.)
Menkes says that for the new season, though, there’s a “new aesthetic: take any elements from either sex and piece them together.” She loves the combinations that are popping up, “[a] tough jacket teams with soft pants; a draped dress has a straight, cutaway shoulder.” Rough and soft textures are working together. She’s calling it a “gender truce.”
I think she’s onto to something: We have evolved, it seems, past the time when the “Armani pantsuit and Calvin Klein’s unisex looks were flag-bearers for feminism.” In my opinion, we pushed back against ideas of traditional femininity long enough to reclaim it, and postmodern as these days are, we’re combining whatever we like. But I wouldn’t say it started this season.
Who hasn’t worn a dress over jeans? How about a long, angular blazer or men’s-style leather jacket over a frilly frock? Who doesn’t love a romantic top with boyfriend jeans? Back in the ’90s, Sharon Stone wore her husband’s white oxford button-up with a majestic skirt to the Oscars. Juxtaposition is great, and interesting — but I think we’ve known we don’t have to choose elements from strictly male or female fashion for a while now. And I wouldn’t throw gender bending completely to the wayside …

This is an interesting article, especially in light of the recent disparaging comments made by tv announcers about US figure skater Johnny Weir (who I find fabulous and a fantastic skater). http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/02/25/johnny-weir-olympics-gender-example/
In essence, two broadcasters complained that Weir is bad for figure skating because of his flamboyance and that the should be gender tested. On the heels of the Caster Semenya debacle, such comments can’t be taken lightly.
In Weir’s case, it is the corset costume that started some of the criticism over his sexuality and gender; but of course he’s been facing such charges since 2007.
And I know a number of you will get all upset because Weir wears fur and that somehow justifies whatever homophobic comments he gets and you know what, that’s just not true. I don’t like fur, but I don’t think it’s a reason to vilify someone. I’d rather vilify Lady GaGa for being a tired rerun with marginal talent who we only talk about because she dresses likes she’s raided Cher’s closet.
Those announcers can suck it.
Johnny Weir rocked that corset!
Johnny can wear whatever the hell he wants!!!
Cher wore white polyhedron dresses and lightning bolts on her face?? shes cuter than i thought she was…
Cross dressing has been a wonderful hobby for me,enriched my life tremendously.
Guy jeans are great, and their pockets are so much bigger than the ones in girl jeans. If they fit my ass better I would totally wear my boyfriend’s way more often! I love being able to steal his clothes and not need a belt for his pants (thank you, womanly ass!)
My mother used to wear men’s jeans all the time, don’t know if she still does. She has no hips or butt at all so lady’s jeans just don’t fit her well at all.
in my dim dark days of university I used to cross dress sometimes for the fun of it – pretty much because I had seen ‘tipping the velvet’ and fancied myself as a boy. I hid the mohawk under a trilby or a workman’s cap, and rocked the tweed three-piece suite I got second hand for $30.
I used to go out to parties like this and I must say it did prove a hit with the ladies. And some more experimental gentleman.
sigh…. I kinda miss being a slut at times.
hahaha that’s mint
I’m kind of a hipster/emo/skater so I do wear boys’ clothes – it just goes well with my style. Thus, I usually wear mini skirts and band t-shirts, or oversized skinnies, and I’m a total hoodie / flanel freak.
Gender blending is very cool, because it looks sexy when done properly. Can’t wait to see those dresses you were talking about! However, why is it looks sexy in girls but extremely bad with boys?
I don’t know about that. I’ve seen some men look really good in skirts.
And kilts are hot.
Ooooh, yeah, I forgot about kilts. Damn, those are hot.
But kilts are menswear, that’s not cross dressing.
Kilts are socially acceptable skirts. I know it’s not technically gender bending, but it’s still looks like a skirt.
Don’t forget the ideal female model body is patterned on a male’s body: broad shoulders, no chest, no hips, small calves. When nylons were first marketed to women in the 1940’s the legs featured on the packaging were a man’s legs, not a woman’s.
Wait. What? I wasn’t aware that was the “ideal” female body. When have small breasts and no hips on a woman ever been celebrated? I’m not trying to be rude or sarcastic, I’m honestly curious.
Models, not regular women. Designers want walking clothes hangers.
Oh, ok. I was a bit confused. Thanks for clearing that up. :)
This is going to sound bad, but I definitely think that women can pull off “gender blending” more effectively than men. I think a woman in a tux or suit is pretty damn s.exy myself. But I just don’t find anything attractive about a cross-dressing male. To each their own, but that’s just me.
Does anyone remember that episode of S.ex and the City where that photographer gets Charlotte to crossdress, like, full out, with a mustache and sock in the pants? That was hot.
I would never wear, say, guy’s jeans, but….I have been known to wear a super cute dress with a masculine tuxedo blazer over it. Or a tie with a ruffly blouse. Or one of my fiance’s hoodies with skinny jeans and heels. I’m all about the mix-and-match.
Once upon a time there were men’s clothing and women’s clothing. Women have appropriated pants and suits, and they have become completely acceptable women’s clothing as well. (Hilary Clinton doesn’t dress in men’s clothes – she dresses in women’s suits. They just happen to be based on the same pants.)
Men, however, have not yet found acceptance in traditionally women’s clothing. There are some cultures where men tend to wear things based on a skirt or dress -like design, but it hasn’t caught on outside.
This stands in a lot of things. It is more acceptable for women to work outside the home than for men not to. It is more acceptable for women to be unemotional than for men to be emotional. It is more acceptable for little girls to play with trucks than little boys with dolls. Feminism has opened up the former man’s world to women, but the opposite is not yet true.
(I know many of you are fine with any of these, but consider western society as a whole.)
An interesting point, actually. I wholeheartedly agree with you; it’s strange that women came to be able to have “masculine” traits, toys, clothes, etc, but that for men to want any shred of femininity they have to be gay.
Although on that note, women who get too masculine are dubbed “butch lesbians,” usually by straight men. Because lesbians should apparently be really hot and really just exist for porn purposes, apparently.
I’ve also noticed that a lot of straight guys have a lot of inherent homophobia–not that they don’t like gays, but that they seem to be weirded out by gay men. Is this just me, or does anyone else notice this? And no, I’m not bashing men or just straight guys in general, it’s just something I’ve noticed with the straight, kind of douchey college guys I find myself hanging out with at times.
It is true that there is a limit on what is still considered normal, but women can go a lot further before reaching it than men can.
Yes, many men do seem to have a latent discomfort with homosexuality. I suspect some of it is just discomfort with the strange, and some of it might be fear of others’ opinions, since it is still not accepted.
That’s really interesting *high five*
My son plays with dolls and my husband is ok with it.
I explained to him that first of all, I’m not going to deny my son a toy he wants. Second, and most close to my feminist heart, is my disapproval with the notion that it’s ok for little girls to strive to be more masculine, but it’s bad for little boys to play with feminine things.
I refuse to raise my son with the notion that it’s bad to be compared to a girl in any way.
Sadly, most of the world has not caught on to that yet.
Although I saw the best thing ever at Disneyland a couple of days ago!
A little boy and his little sister were both wearing tiaras. My son happened to be playing with his Evil Queen doll at the time. His mom and I noticed each others kids and shared a smile. It was a great moment.
That’s super cute! I was a tomboy as a kid, as in I fought with the boys and ran and stuff but at the same time I had a lot of Barbies and enjoyed dressing them up and stuff. Aww kids are mint aren’t they.
Me too! I mean, my mom bought be a few Barbies, but when she realized that the only thing I used them for was bait for the Godzilla action figure (it was an ambush set up by the GI Joes and the Ninja Turtles…), she stopped buying them.
like I said, I think the average population here is probably just fine with such things. It’s the population as a whole that needs convincing. I know people who tell me that their girls only want to play with dolls, and their boys only want to play with trucks. And I’m like, well, which did you give them? What look do they get when they pick each one up? How many little boys pick up a baby doll and hear “aw, he’ll be such a good father”, vs “uh-oh”?
A German scientist just wrote a book about Emo and says: “Emo is the first youth culture, in which boys adapt towards the girls. The Emos turn around gender roles.” (Jonas Engelmann, original quote: “Emo ist die erste Jugendkultur, in der sich die Jungs an die Mädchen anpassen. Die Emos stellen das Rollenmodell auf den Kopf”).
Oh, and I’ve never worn a dress over jeans. I think that’s one of the silliest-looking things people wear. Jeans go with shirts. If you have a dress on, take the damn pants off. It isn’t whimsically gender twisting, it’s silly.
But hey, so is the rest of ‘fashion’.
I’ve also never worn a ‘frilly frock’ with anything. Frills don’t enter my closet. And what exactly is a ‘romantic top’?
I wear useful logical clothing. The rest of this is just silly.
I personally get much joy out of clothing that is neither useful nor logical. Granted, I don’t prance around in public in a tutu and a cape, but I have pieces that others call absurd that I love because they are unique and pretty. But, like anything else, it’s a personal taste thing. I’d sooner go barefoot in the snow than wear ugly, clunky hiking boots, for example.
Oh, if you decide to prance about in a tutu, tell me! I would love to indulge my inner tutu-wearer with you!
I would pay so much money to watch you guys go shopping in tutus…
And Sydney, if you went barefoot in the snow you might lose some toes. But that would probably make wearing some of the more restricting high heels fit better, so really that would just be a win-win for you! *grin*
True. Maybe my prorities aren’t in the right place, but….what can I say.
I always say that if my house were on fire and I were wearing sweats, I would take the time to change before running out. So there you have it.
*laugh!* I believe you too…
I always used to put on a bra and a pair of jeans before heading out during fire alarms in college.
Come on. Everyone has a cape, right?
As for the rest of this article?
Fashion is fashion is fashion. I haven’t seen anything truly original in ages. But, that’s okay.
I’d love to see long, full skirts come back in. They look so damn sweet with thin knit shells.
I totally own a cape. And geta. And an authentic Soviet Russian officer’s coat. And fairy wings. And 4 kimonos. And a Qipao. And wooden Dutch clogs. And a pair of hakama. I could go on….
I am so envious.
I have a bright blue prom dress/ball gown with about two feet of corsetry? Good times, good times. Good thing my bf didn’t attempt to get me out of it :D
In my humble opinion, long skirts are a sin. Of course they do nothing for me, being the 5th hobbit and all.
Haha, the 5th hobbit. Hilarious. Are you Miree Baggins?
Screw ‘coming back in’. If *you* look good in long, full skirts with thin-knit shells, go forth and wear them! And look awesome! That’s a lot better than all the girls out there today in skinny jeans that make their average-sized thighs look twice as wide, and empire-waist tops that make them look like they need the maternity wear.
People need to start wearing things that make them look good, not things that make the rectangular fashion models look good. Let alone the ones that couldn’t make anyone look good, and only demonstrate whether or not you are stunning enough to look good *despite* your awful clothes…
What do you mean by ‘a cape’? Is this some fashion thing, or do you mean like a superhero cape?
I don’t own a cape, but I did wear my softshell as a cape yesterday for fun.
I get high on mountains. :D
^ For clarification, I did totally mean a superhero cape. They’re so fun, but I have almost no occasion for them other than Halloween. And I didn’t even get to wear it last year since I was a Ninja Fairy Princess, and it didn’t jive with my wings.
SUPER ninja fairy princess!
Capes are wonderfully versatile. I bought some red tights and borrowed a cape and went to work as SuperLifeguard last year.
Ninja Fairy Princess? That is so awesome. Was there a throwing star on top of your scepter?
^ No, I was wearing these sandals that have laces that go all the way up the leg, so I just tucked the shuriken and kunai into the lacings on the outer thighs. But I did have a scepter. And a tiara.
I too would sooner go barefoot in the snow than wear ugly clunky hiking boots. They’re heavy, overly sturdy, and don’t let your feet and ankles move and bend properly.
I wear lightweight, close-fitting, bendy hiking boots that protect my feet without inhibiting them. And I love my hikers very much. Because they take me to beautiful places that I would not reach in my heels.
I wish I could wear the lighter weight ones but I have terrible ankles. Even on light hikes that aren’t much more than a walk in the park I need to support of full hiking books. I used to have a pair of lighter ones but after going over my ankle over a dozen times on one weekend hike I upgraded to a pair that could carry me the length of the Appalachian Trail.
Oh, mine could certainly carry me the length of the Appalachian trail. Except that it doesn’t strike me as very interesting. The Continental Divide Trail on the other hand calls to me regularly. but I don’t think I could take off that much time any time soon. So I am looking at the Great Divide Trail as a more reasonable possibility.
But I understand that some people really do have particular bad parts. I have sketchy knees, and always carry braces, that I have had to wear on and off over the while. Luckily, I’ve been brace free for a while as of late.
If I had abnormally awful, unstrengthenable ankles, I too might go for the big boots. But I don’t, and I hate them. I hate anything that restricts my movement in any way. I like for my feet to be free to move as they were made to do. I see shoes as protection from the elements, to allow my feet to carry me – not as replacements for feet.
The shoe industry has convinced people that they need all sorts of supports that an average foot really doesn’t need – at least, they don’t until they spend years in encasing shoes that don’t allow their foot to work properly, and they lose their ability to walk properly and everything.
I love to be barefoot, and wear the minimal necessary shoe for most of my uses. Dress up is its own different category.
I go bare foot most of the time too when I’m at home. When I’m out and need to wear shoes I wear Fit Flops because they seem to be the most similar to going barefoot. Once I get off of level ground though all bets are off.
Just something on the walking around without shoes in the house. I noticed that Americans and Australians don’t take their shoes off, when they visit somebody (well, at least the ones I know…). Is that generally so?
Here in Scandinavia and also in the part of Germany, where I grew up, it’s actually quite rude and impolite to keep the shoes on. And somehow I don’t see the benefit in it (dirty floors, scratches and small holes on the wooden floors, etc.).
I always take my shoes off but a lot of people don’t. My in-laws never take their shoes off unless they’re wearing big winter boots. I know it bothers them that I take my shoes off when I enter their house but the idea of walking around with shoes on just totally grosses me out. They’re the only ones who leave their shoes on in my house though. I don’t ask people to but I take mine off (put them on to answer the door because I need to walk through the basement) and we have a basket and mat right there so it’s clear.
I find that shoes in the house kind of gags me. I think about all that those shoes have walked through. I mean, dogs pee everywhere,(and that is just a domestic animal, what about all of the wild ones?) I know that someone has to have walked through it
I’m one of those people that like to sit on the floor though.
I think about that same thing, Blurry. I always take my shoes off when I get home. I take them off and put them in the closet.
I feel the same way about walking around in shoes at home as I do about carpet: it’s unnecessary and gross. Carpet just soaks up germs and dirt and nastiness, and walking around in shoes just does the same thing, but on a more “spreading around” basis than a “soaking up.” Needless to say, my home will probably never have carpet. Not that it doesn’t look nice, it just grosses me out.
I hate the idea of tracking all that stuff through. It’s bad enough right now anyway with all the road salt and such but the stuff that you can’t see is so much grosser. Speaking of my in-laws, my father-in-law is totally opposed to laws that require people to pick up after their dogs. They just didn’t do that when he was younger, didn’t even do it when I was a kid, so it was pretty common for people to accidentally step in it. He doesn’t consider that a problem and if it happens he’ll just wipe his shoe off on the grass and call it good.
Suddenly I’m thinking I should insist that he take his shoes off.
People in Spain, when visiting others’ houses, don’t take off their shoes, I think this might be because usually the houses’ floors are made of stone, especially in the east and south where it isn’t as cold, so they don’t get as (visibly) dirty as carpet or wood. However, in France people won’t take off their shoes either, even though they usually have carpet. They are weird they are, anyway ;)
I ALWAYS take my shoes off, unless instructed otherwise. So does my family and we are Aussie to the core mate. However I wear indoor flip-flops at home because the floorboards are cold and I hate slippers – they make my feet sweat.
I don’t like things like the fitflops, or mbt shoes, or anything. They are once again, trying to do something for your foot, instead of letting your foot do its own walking. I like minimalist soles that flex and bend, and allow my foot to move normally.
Didn’t we have a whole post a while ago about taking your shoes off in the home? It’s very interesting. In Canada, you simply do not wear shoes in people’s homes. It is not done by normal people. When we used to watch movies as children, it was always funny to see everyone walking around in the house with their shoes on. We thought it was one of those movie things. I didn’t even realize until a few years ago that that is actually the norm in much of the US. It sounded completely preposterous. I still can’t quite wrap my head around it.
I think weather has something to do with it. The fact that up here, six months of the year your shoes are wet and snowy would make a habit of wearing shoes inside kinda gross. No matter what your floors are. I take my shoes off, and I enforce that other people remove their shoes as well. It’s my house, and I want to keep it clean. But then, where I live, that is the norm, and anyone who likes shoes in the house is an anomaly wherever they go, so it is easy to enforce.
I love fitflops, because they make my back stop hurting. I can walk around Disneyland all day in them and my feet, legs and back don’t hurt at the end of the day.
2 hours of Disneylanding in any other shoes and I’m ready to call it a day, and I hurt like hell when I get home.
I used to have problems with my heel (even when i went barefoot all the time) and after a year of wearing fitflops exclusively, it’s gone.
I’m just glad they make warm boots and rain boots now. I pretty much never have to wear another shoe again.
I also never realised that Americans wear their shoes inside outside of television! I thought that the peoples in movies just kept their shoes on to keep their outfits together.
It just seems so odd to me to have to wear shoes inside. Wouldn’t you be much more comfortable without shoes on?
Other Americanisms I’ve been boggled by:
When you throw a party (like a big party, not a dinner party), the host is expected to provide all the alcohol. This was horrfying to me in my university days; there is no way anyone would throw a party if they had to pay upfront for all of that booze. Here, everyone brings their own. I had a friend in the US who, as a Canadian would, brought a 6 pack of beer to a party and was shocked to find that someone had taken it from the fridge. Is there a cover charge for every party? How do you know who drinks a pile, and who drinks none? Does the size of the party dictate who is supposed to provide the alcohol?
Also, I went to New York last spring and couldn’t for the life of me find a recycling bin. Do they not really do that there? I asked someone at a coffee shop if there was a recycling bin for my water bottle, and they looked at me like I was insane. I took it outside, figuring I’d find something on the street, but there was nothing. That was crazy to me. I bet the amount of recycling that gets thrown in the garbage in NY must be equal to what Canadian recycle in a whole year.
Whacky stuff.
I get back and knee pain if I wear pretty much any shoes other than Fit Flops. I even wear them inside on occasion if I’m going to be standing still for a long period e.g. doing the ironing or working in the kitchen.
Wicked – It can be really hard to find recycle bins. I take stuff home from restaurants when I can, particularly fast food places that give you plastic cups for drinks. Chances are someone was going through the trash on the street for bottles and cans. Not sure if NYC has deposits on bottles or no but you can still sell them to recyclers for a bit of cash.
Hehe. I have a pair of older model fit flops that I use when I’m cooking. I call them my kitchen shoes. They’re the sporty looking ones so I don’t care if I get crap on them.
I reserve my nicer looking leather ones for going out of the house.
Stop taunting me with your fit flops! I can’t afford a pair :(
The host of a party has to pay for ALL THE BOOZE? I’d go bankrupt if that was the case in Denmark. They have special taxes on alcohol here (well, and the VAT is 25%), so a decent bottle of wine costs min. 6€ and vodka/rum/gin in a decent quality is about 15€ per bottle or more. People always bring alcohol to the parties they attend…
(Well, or sombody rents a trailer and drives over the border goes to Germany to buy cheap alcohol)
Copa – Fit flops are pricey! I wanted a pair for ages but I’m not a flip flop fan. I just bought mine last fall, the Gogh II clog style. I think they were $70 but so totally worth it! That was a huge chunk of my monthly budget, way more than I usually spend on clothes in a month and I had to do some creative cooking and cut back in other areas but I really wanted those shoes! They’re lasting really well though, looking a bit scuffed up (they’re sort of felt) but still very comfy despite the fact that I’ve worn them for many, many miles at this point.
Inesita – It somewhat depends on the function. It’s generally poor etiquette to ask other people to bring alcohol to a party. You shouldn’t throw a party that is beyond your means. There are several exceptions however. For a college party you will often find a number of people going in on the booze and getting a keg or whatever. Not necessarily all the people who are going to be there but a number of them. Sometimes people will bring booze to share too, bring some beer and put it in the communal fridge and drink whatever kinds they fancy. My hubby has a group of friend who regularly get together in their tavern (it’s basically a shed with a wood stove) and they all bring stuff to share, generally however many bottles of beer they’re going to drink and occasionally a bottle of spirits to contribute to the bar. For big family dinners it’s not uncommon for people to contribute to the meal, either a dish or a bottle of wine.
Really the only time you have to pay for it all is when you’re hosting an event like a wedding (cash bar is just not done here) or if you’re hosting a cocktail type party in your own home.
I have slowly built up a collection of fitflops. My husband and I agreed that feet are often ignored to the detriment of the rest of the body. He wears Earth shoes because he can’t stand the men’s fitflop selection.
I’ve worn them exclusively for about two years now and so many of my back problems have gone away. I had sciatica pain the other day and it reminded me that I haven’t experienced it for a very long time. It used to be an almost daily occurrence. And the heel pain went away too.
They’re pricey, but they’ve been so worth it for me. Cheaper than the physical therapy my doctor wanted me to do, that’s for sure! Plus you can often find them on sale if you hunt around.
My back was hurting really bad after Disneylanding the other day and I was so surprised. Until I started my period! My faith in my chosen footwear was restored.
I don’t believe in paying for others to drink at any age. I don’t drink alcohol. therefore, any event at my house is BYOB designated. I’ll have some juice and pop, but if you want alcohol, you can pay for it.
Most parties hereabouts are officially BYOB, and practically ‘everyone brings some, and gets to have a bit of everything0.
I totally start to miss my spring/summer dresses during the winter, so I just throw them on over jeans with a blazer or cardigan. It’s completely wonderful when I feel bloated, too :)
I do the same!! :) Sundress, thick tights or leggings, biker boots and leather jacket and I am the most badass amongst the badass in the winter :D
Me too! I looooove pairing leggings with my summer dresses and badass boots!!!
Note that there is a difference between jeans and tights/leggings. One is a pair of bottoms on its own. the other is meant to go under things like dresses. Jeans don’t go under dresses, because the dress becomes extraneous. But leggings don’t go without a dress or skirt. this is too often confused.
I really hate wearing tights, so I believe in only wearing a skirt or dress when the weather is appropriate to go bare-legged. But I have worn long underwear under my orchestra skirt when it’s too cold yet I have to be dressed up.
Yeah I don’t go by the normal premises of fashion, I wear leggings pretty much as if they were trousers – if the t-shirt covers my ass, I’m good to go.
I’m not talking normal premises of fashion. i don’t believe in fashion. I’m talking logical use of materials…
Speaking of capes, where has Joey been?

As a straight guy, I have always been bothered by the fact that it is totally ok for girls to shop in the guys’ dept but I get looks for poking around in the the jrs dept. I was always jealous of the girls in school being able to wear whatever (literally) they wanted, yet I couldn’t wear cute little miniskirts. I SOOOOOOO wanted to be a cheerleader or a pom pon girl. Those outfits are the absolute cutest things ever.
The closest I get to going out wearing girls’ stuff is when I run errands wearing girls’ jeans. Well, and shoes and tops. But they aren’t like cutesy, frilly, girly tops. Usually just like a girls’ polo or tee shirt. Too bad people in real life suck so much.
Are you the guy I used to fuck who liked wearing my shoes?
I think that might have been me,are you talking about 1978?
Haha. No, but I do like wearing girls’ shoes :) (And socks. And hose. And tights. Etc.) Heels a little, cute flip flops and sneakers a lot.
