The cost of the dress was 1,700 pounds (about 171 thousand rubles).
Follow the latest fashion trends: now, according to the Italian brand, the latest trend for men is a dress that can be combined with jeans.

However, not everyone appreciated the innovation and rushed to "fight stereotypes". Therefore, TV presenter and comedian Simon Thompson decided to conduct an experiment, walk around London in a similar dress during the day and see the reaction of the citizens. He did not want to spend money on a branded thing and bought an inexpensive analogue.
According to Simon, although he is a progressive person, this outfit evokes associations with a woman's dress.
At first, he walked in the central part of the city, where there are many boutiques, fashion stores. To the surprise of the TV presenter, people did not pay attention to him at all.
Later, he moved to an area where ordinary people live, who dress more traditionally. It was then that the man began to be examined, photographed, and laughed at.
He was approached several times asking if he was gay. A man in the crowd shouted that Simon could not wear a woman's dress.
According to the final assessment of the TV presenter, the younger generation was friendly and even interested, because of the female style of clothing, many assumed that he was gay, some passers-by laughed.
Simon himself found this model uncomfortable — he was too narrow in the shoulders, did not like that it fits the chest, and the color is "for an amateur."
