Ancient Greece – a time when wearing skirts was not just fashionable, but a symbol of unparalleled manliness.
The iconic Spartans, known for their military prowess, were proud wearers of the periskelis – a short, belted skirt made from wool. This choice of attire was driven by a blend of practicality and symbolism.
The periskelis allowed for ease of movement on the battlefield, granting the Spartan warriors an advantage in combat.
Moreover, the choice to wear skirts reinforced their dedication to their military lifestyle and a rejection of luxury, aligning with the warrior ethos.
The periskelis wasn't just practical and symbolic; it was also damn stylish, if these AI images are accurate in any way.
