Battle of the Bottoms

Battle of the Bottoms


Tags: Style tips

We've had a segment going on instagram called Battle of the Bottoms (#PantsvsSkirt), where we pit the two main lower body garments against each other, on men or male bodied individuals.

We've now reached 10 battles, ranging from dressy to casual. The overwhelming consensus? Skirts take the cake, and some like both.

What do you prefer?

1. Grey

2. Black
