Italian luxury brand Gucci is selling an orange check dress with satin bow detail in a bid to fight the 'toxic stereotypes that mold masculine gender identity'. Priced at £1, 700, the 'tartan cotton long smock shirt', comes with mother of pearl buttons and  contrast Peter Pan collar. It is inspired by grunge looks from the ‘90s. The orange and beige dress has short sleeves, smock embroidery, a button front and is made from 100% cotton. On the website, the model with hair coming to his chest, can be seen wearing the cotton dress with a pair of light-wash ripped jeans, a maroon, beige and blue striped woollen hat, a black crossbody purse and grey and pink sneakers. As pictures of the dress went viral, social media users were divided in opinions. While some did not like the look, others through it were unnecessary. However, some supported the idea and praised the fashion house. Boys Allowed to Wear Skirts at Uppingham School in Rutland, UK.
