For the first couple of years, although women were now expected to wear trousers some of the time, skirts and dresses were never worn by men. Women also tended to wear more colourful and varied clothes than men. The situation was generally that whereas women could in certain circumstances wear both women's and men's clothes, men could only wear clothes considered masculine. At this time, the concepts of transvestism and drag still made sense for men, but less so for women.
