Joe Quarion
一个普普通通的大叔。直到某天,他开始变得不那么普通了。那天,他和他的同事被要求参加一个变装主题的运动比赛。他被分配的变装主题就是裙子。为了完成任务,Joe跑到当地二手店(不得不承认歪果仁的裙子尺码很high)里买了一条合适他的短裙。这一买,就一发不可收拾... ...
当穿上了买来的短裙,在草地上挥汗如雨。调皮的夏风在他的裙底捉迷藏。
各中滋味,不可描述。
没有了裤子的束缚,他彻底放飞自我。这一场比赛,他打得酣畅淋漓。
比赛过后,他爱上了穿短裙的感觉:”这是什么宝贝衣服,为什么我之前从来没想过要穿?!“
----------------
裙子,一直是女性的标志。虽然没有法律规定男人不能穿裙子,但大多数男人不愿意尝试它,觉得很怪。为了更好地说服自己,Joe对裙子做了一番研究,发现直到公元一世纪左右,欧美地区的裙子都是男女通用的服装
后来大家开始使用马作为代步工具,为了方便骑马就穿上了裤子。
随着时代的变化,人们渐渐不骑马了,但是也没有男性再穿裙子。
--------------
不过,有了历史证据,加上穿裙子确实很舒服,Joe开始了自己的奇妙裙子之旅。
但是,市面上大多数裙子都是针对女性设计的,Joe经常买不到自己心怡款式的裙子。
对审美需求的迫切让Joe做了一个大胆的决定——自己动手做裙子。
他自学了神奇的缝纫术,设计出了一款中性短裙。
于是,他众筹开了家专门做中性短裙的公司,在3年时间里售卖了450多条裙子,其中大部分客户都是和他一样的直男。
Joe不仅自己做了裙子,还把裙子po到了网上,让一众网友看了心生羡慕。由此,Joe发现,原来还有这么多直男和他一样喜欢穿裙子。
73岁的Jim Buyens也是裙子爱好者。他不仅穿裙子,还会搭配适当的高跟鞋和丝袜。别误会,他也是一个直男。
Jim穿裙子从来没有遮遮掩掩。路人对穿裙子的他也十分友好。对他来说,不论是穿啥,都只是一块儿布而已。为什么不让自己穿得舒服一点呢?
穿了多年裙子的他还经常在网络上教有兴趣的直男们裙子的穿法。
问:本人直男,想穿铅笔裙,我需不需要先刮腿毛?
答:如果你的腿毛稀疏,或者颜色浅,可以穿深色丝袜,不用刮腿毛。但如果不是,建议你最好刮下腿,只用几分钟时间。
除了日常乐于助人外,Jim还常常把自己的时尚穿搭分享到网上,迎来不少喝彩。
也有身材不太好的裙子爱好者,照样大胆穿裙子出门。
John L就是其中一个。
胖乎乎的身体,搭配时尚的小裙子,让他看上去呆萌又可爱。
说了这么多,你知道不同裙子怎么用英语表达吗?

3. strapless sundress 无带背心裙
A strapless dress or top is a garment that stays put around the upper body without shoulder straps or other visible means of support. It is usually supported by an internal corset and/or brassiere, with the tightness of the bodice preventing the dress from slipping out of position.

The stylish and often tight-fitting cheongsam or qipao (chipao) that is most often associated with today was created in the 1920s in Shanghai and was made fashionable by socialites and upperclass women.
