What exactly defines the gender of an article of<br />
clothing? Apart from the inconsequential<br />
placement of button plackets and their<br />
merchandising destination, apparel is purely a<br />
utilitarian method of protection, sanitation and<br />
modesty. Even suggesting that gender fluidity in<br />
fashion is a groundbreaking concept seems<br />
ridiculous. The issue here lies in a cultural<br />
mindset that has been ingrained into our societal<br />
perspective deeming colors, shapes and fabrics<br />
exclusively suitable for certain irrelevant gender<br />
categorizations. A shirt is still a shirt on a woman<br />
or a man. As we move forward, let us consider<br />
outfitting our bodies in shirts, jackets and pants<br />
that make us feel our best. Opening our minds to<br />
garments that speak to us regardless of their<br />
gender orientation is really the most intuitive,<br />
authentic practice. The alternative of dismissing a<br />
t-shirt, sweater or pair of denim baselessly<br />
targeting the opposite gender is silly, isn’t it?<br />
