TheirView #1: Wearing a dress, means 'feminism'

"Fashion is for both gender. Masculine or feminism is not depend on which piece of clothing you are wearing."

In December 2020, Harry Styles has been the first man appeared solo on the Vogue Magazines for 125 years. Wearing a long sparkling dress with an elegant black tuxedo - both from Gucci, Harry Styles has become a controversial topic around the relation ship between 'masculine' and fashion. However, a lawyer Ben Shapiro wrote on his Twitter that wearing a dress destroyed the masculine. Or the politician Candace Owens also agreed with Shapiro "Bring back manly men". Although there was a lot of disagreement, Harry Styles said "There's so much joy to be had in playing with clothes I've never thought too much about what it means - it just becomes this extended part of creating something".

"When men wear dress ..."

Not only Harry Styles but also other celebrities such as Kanye West, "Joker" Jared Leto, and Vin Diesel - actor of Fast & Furious. They all wore dress to important events, shows, or even ceremonies.

People always talk about gender equality and try to find the fairness between two genders. But it will never happen. In some countries, people consider dress as something feminine and elegant - men wear dress means they are weak, lack of masculine, or in the worst case, they think these men are not real men, are gay (although they do not).

Although several countries are against men wearing dress, in Scotland, men usually wear skilt skirt as part of their culture in special occasions such as weddings and national festivals. In Myanmar, from kids to the elderly, from women to men, their traditional clothes are "longyi dress". Longyi is just a piece of fabric wrapped around the waist. But the difference between two genders' clothes is the way to tie "longyi". For men, a large piece of cloth is wrapped and knotted in the front, whereas for women, the cloth is folded and sewn on the side. In addition, due to the globalization, people around the world could have a chance to explore more views of an issue, the 'men wearing dress' culture might spread, and people can understand and be more open- minded to the matters.

All in all, I believe that people should not judge others through what they are wearing because clothes is just a kind of accessories to make you feel confident and comfortable even when you are alone or with others. Fashion helps you feel confident so just to the clothes you like and put it on.
