Professor Andrew Groves, Professor of Fashion Design, was quoted in an article by The Guardian about the emergence of skirts as a men’s fashion trend during the pandemic.
The article discussed skirts as a new trend in menswear, which have been included in the autumn/winter collections of many prestigious fashion brands, including Burberry, and described the trend as “indicative of how the pandemic has unshackled men from their dress codes.” It also highlighted male celebrities who been seen wearing skirts, including Post Malone, Yungblud and Harry Styles.
