Common items that people now strongly associate with women but were originally designed or marketed for men:

🎀 High heels - Originally worn by men, especially Persian cavalrymen, to help keep their feet in stirrups. European aristocratic men later adopted them as a status symbol.

💄 Makeup - Cosmetics weren't originally exclusively feminine. Ancient Egyptian men used eyeliner, and men in various cultures used cosmetics for religious, social and aesthetic reasons.

👛 Purses/handbags — Small bags and pouches were historically carried by men and women. Men commonly carried pouches attached to their clothing before modern pockets became widespread.

💅 Nail polish - Nail coloring dates back thousands of years and wasn't exclusively for women. In the 20th century, however, nail polish became heavily marketed toward women.

👗 Skirts — Skirt like garments were worn by men throughout history, including kilts and robes. In many ancient societies, trousers weren't the default male garment.

🌸 Perfume — Fragrance was used by men and women in ancient civilizations. In some periods, male rulers and aristocrats were major consumers of perfumes.

🎩 Wigs - Wigs became especially fashionable among European men in the 17th and 18th centuries. Louis XIV and other aristocratic men famously wore elaborate wigs.

🩷 Pink — Pink wasn't always considered a “girls' color.” In the early 20th century, pink was sometimes associated with boys, while blue could be associated with girls.

👠 Platform shoes — Platform footwear was worn by men in different historical periods, including European aristocrats and performers.

💍 Jewelry — Rings, necklaces, earrings and other jewelry have been worn by men for thousands of years. In many ancient societies, jewelry was actually an important symbol of male wealth and power.
