Explanation: For the period of the Roman Republic and much of the Empire, Romans regarded wearing trousers as a ‘barbarian’ affectation - instead preferring tunics which left the legs bare.
This preference explicitly includes legionaries and other military men of the Empire. BEHOLD, CIVILIZATION
Fun Additional Fact! The Roman military commander and politician Mark Antony was noted to wear scandalously short tunics in civilian life, explicitly for the purpose of showing off his muscular thighs. 🥵
Was gonna say, would you expect TRVE ROMAN MEN to wear pants like some barbarian?!? NO, TRVE ROMAN TVNICS FOR TRVE ROMAN MEN!
Lol, was discussing this topic with a friend just yesterday. He loves kilts and finds them really comfy, but they aren’t socially acceptable here, and will get you strange looks by everyone you meet on the streets and in the workplace. It’s so sad that society has this huge barrier between “men” things and “women” things, really.
