TW: Opinions (GASP!)
The trendy "distressed" aesthetics and the gentrification of poor areas just keep showing your privilege and disconnect with the real world.

“I’m wearing a women’s mesh top with distressed jeans my friend helped me make, layered with my old overall pants with a diamond trucker hat I got from Cracker Barrel. I made the boots myself. What inspires my style right now would be kind of western truck wear, Diesel, and Mowalola.”

Every time someone writes about a historical woman wishing she could wear trousers because skirts are so impractical....I wonder which specific skirts we are talking about and if they ever wore skirts.
True, some skirts are impractical in some situations. Running through brambles in a silk skirt? Do not recommend. Wearing a full on Baroque Gown? Also not very practical, sure.
However, as someone who only wears skirts and dresses for more than 10 years now, and often long skirts, I must say skirts are really given an unfairly bad reputation in literature and generally.
I wear skirts hiking, cycling, walking, in the city, in the countryside, at home, while gardening- and never found them impractical.
Indeed most of the times I find them more relaxed and comfortable than the jeans I used to wear. Also sitting crosslegged and doing crafts with a skirt is amazing, because you can collect all the material you need in the skirt, just to name one advantage.
When people ask me about my skirts being impractical I always point out I wear different skirts for different uses. For gardening I use an old ratty one, where I don't mind the roses tearing small holes in it. For cycling I don't wear a floorlength skirt, for walking literally anything but a pencil one.
Skirts are not per se less practical, more restricting than trousers. You just have to pick the right one, same way as you wouldn't wear tuxedo trousers to dig in the garden, or go riding.
So,letting women wear trousers is not an automatical "get out of patriarchy jail" card, because it often is not exactly improving the situation for them. Rather it is just another instance where sth typically feminie is immediatly disregarded as stupid...
