Hollywood-Star Brad Pitt and the Jedermann actor Lars Eidinger show leg: Both have recently presented airy in skirts. Pitt (58) showed up on a red carpet in Berlin on Tuesday evening wearing sunglasses, boots and a skirt. Eidinger (46) chose a black skirt at the premiere celebration after the opening of the Salzburg Festival. So when the temperature is high, rock seems to be a trend among the acting stars.
According to Carl Tillessen from the German Fashion Institute, a trend is emerging. “There will not only be skirts, but also puffed sleeves, ruffles, bow ties, pearl necklaces and so on for men. Realistically, however, younger men in particular will adopt these clothing elements in order to break up traditional gender stereotypes,” he says.

The fact that a 58-year-old like Pitt is following the trend will probably remain an exception. “The excitement surrounding Brad Pitt’s skirt shows that this look is still seen as breaking taboos by large parts of our society,” says Tillessen.
The British musician has already joined the ranks of prominent rock stars Harry Styles a. Styles, who polarizes with his fashion style, has already posed in dresses and skirts for the fashion magazine “Vogue”. Male model Papis Loveday also often dispenses with classic pants and chooses a skirt or dress for appearances.

The ARD thriller “Polizeiruf 110” isn’t really known for fashion sensations. In the last episode from Brandenburg (“Hilde’s legacy”), actor André Kaczmarczyk surprised some viewers as Vincent Ross – with make-up and a kilt.
In the world of fashion, the game of gender roles is gradually getting bigger: nail polish for men and boyfriend jeans for women are now being followed by skirts for everyone.
“No superficial mood”
For trend analyst Tillessen, this is not a superficial whim of fashion, but an expression of far-reaching social upheaval. “That’s why this mega trend will not only accompany and occupy us for one season, but for many years.”

But the skirt for men is not that new: David Bowie wore a form-fitting dress on the album cover of The Man Who Sold The World back in the 1970s. French designer Jean Paul Gaultier brought men’s skirts to the catwalks in the 80s.
