Changed "fitting" to "fighting" cause I'm a wee bit daft.

Aug 5, 2018 at 14:32 comment added John A short skirt would be fine, many types of armor have what is effectively knee length skirts.
Aug 5, 2018 at 2:18 comment added Bob Jarvis - Слава Україні Did you mean "fighting attire"?
Aug 4, 2018 at 20:46 comment added AlexP Just a note on word usage: men don't wear "dresses". A substantial piece of outer clothing which is worn by men and looks sort-of like a post-WW1 woman's dress is called a "robe", unless it has more culture-specific name. A light-weight piece of clothing which is worn by men or women and looks sort-of like a post-WW1 woman's dress is called a "tunic", or, especially in medieval and early modern Europe, a "shirt" or "undershirt". Tunics were worn as under clothing or outer clothing in the antiquity, especially by the lower classes or at work. Shirts were alwyas under clothing.

Aug 4, 2018 at 19:02 comment added M. A. Golding In many societies men have worn costumes that were different from female attire in that society, but which looked sort of like women's dresses to modern Europeans and Americans. So there is absolutely no rule requiring you to describe men in a fictional society wearing pants usually or when dressed for a specific purpose.
