You misunderstand: I don’t find **transvestism **creepy; I don’t like the idea of dudes wearing my jewelry or accessories. Personally, I don’t care if a dude wants to don a pearl choker and pretend he’s Kirsten Dunst in Mona Lisa Smile, so long it’s not **my **pearl choker!
That said: it’s different for Muslim men as their religion has it’s own set of sumptuary laws.
Actually, men were wearing frocks with frilly collars as recently as Adam Ant’s time, but then again I don’t have a problem with men wearing them (so long as the frocks belong to them and not me).
PS: On a serious note: Unless Eddie was dipping into Wallace’s wardrobe again, I’m quite certain frocks and frilly collars were quite out of style by the age of King Edward VIII (at least for men).
I was going to mention the silk prohibition as well, but thought better of it: though all of the outfits look blasphemously silky, I didn’t want to be called an idiot for not being able to recognize 100% pure polyester.
