“Marlene was extraordinarily practical. In her opinion, why should men have the most comfortable garments to wear? So she wore men’s trousers. There were women’s trousers at the time, with a zip up the side. She never ever owned a pair of one of those. Men’s cossack trousers were extremely comfortable to wear and she saw no reason not to wear them.”

- Peter Riva on his grandmother, Marlene Dietrich.

And didn’t she look good wearing them? :)
