In March, fashion content creator Shivam Bhardwaj took the internet by storm when he wore a black skirt on a Mumbai local train. Clad in a black flowing skirt, t-shirt and sunglasses, he flaunted his style while people stared at him. In a conversation with indianexpress.com, he said that skirts were historically worn both by men and women.
