Brad Pitt says his choice to wear a skirt on the red carpet for the “Bullet Train” premiere in Berlin was less fashion statement and more about beating the sweltering European heat wave.
“What was the reason for you to choose a kilt tonight?” The Associated Press asked Pitt.
“The breeze,” Pitt responded with a smile.
The 58-year-old actor rocked a matching brown linen blazer with a tattered hem to complement his knee-length skirt.

A pair of chains peered out from the open collar of his loose, salmon button-down shirt.
He pulled his entire ensemble together with a pair of chunky black cargo boots, tortoise shell sunglasses and a few rings on his fingers.
The “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” star wore his signature blonde hair tousled to the side and was mostly clean-shaven except for a stubble goatee.

Another Twitter fan added some fashion commentary.
“Brad Pitt wore a skirt in public & meatheads are blowing a gasket “You can’t call that a skirt. IT’S A KILT!” FYI just cuz a guy wears a skirt doesn’t mean it’s a kilt. A kilt is a specific type of skirt. And that brown piece of cloth he was wearing? Not a kilt.”
His outfits on the European press tour for his latest film have caught the eyes of fans who have celebrated his leisurely sense of style and playful approach.
