I've worn a kilt a few times to the local Woolies. No reactions. Oh wait: one time in the snow camo Neokilt the girl serving me said she didn't know kilts came in that colour. :-) At work I was "asked not to" because someone was uncomfortable about it. It was put in the same context as a g...

By the tone of Wade's complaint above, I suppose we could assume he lives in one of the more backward, redneck and uptight corners of the good ol' US of A? As others have mentioned - there aren't that many places where one can't wear a skirt or kilt... Or maybe it's the company he keeps.. :roll: 'T...

Could have been a kilt, although it could be argued a kilt is a kind of skirt.

I have a kilt in white and grey camouflage print that I bought from Neokilt. I love it, but don't wear it much because there ain't so many places I can wear a kilt or skirt.

It wasn't all that long ago that a man couldn't get away with wearing a pink shirt, let alone a floral skirt. However, times are changing. I had a work colleague whose masculinity was most certainly not in doubt when he wore a pink (dress) shirt.

If he'd worn smaller heels or flats, it would have worked better. I don't think the pony-tail is too high; however he has a masculine face which is the other reason it works. I have a feminine face and back when I shaved regularly, for a period I had long hair too and was frequently calked 'Miss'. :...

Picture from EatLiver Despite that website's subtitle ("Crazy pictutres of insane Internet"), they sometimes have pictures which can be quite thought-provoking. This is one of them. After you've gone to look at it, you might want to think about any first impressions you had when you first...

First the OT one... It's my observation that many school-age girls will wear what looks cool over what it comfortable and warm. Even if the basic garment is acutally a uniform. The vast majority of schools have an uniform in Australia and though we have relatively mild winters, there are *still* sch...

Whilst I don't live in NYC, I did visit it briefly a few months ago. I did a number of tourist things in a SportKilt and got only favourable comments whenever someone got the gumption to say something. One guy in Penn Plaza tried very hard to not offend (he didn't); another guy in Central Park had t...

Hey Wade, what was your employer's rationale for not permitting kilts? Someone complained to HR about the 'guy in a skirt'. The HR lady, whom I'm actually friends with, decided she had to side with the complainant. It made them 'uncomfortable'. Which is odd because she saw it when I came in that mo...

Having been asked to not wear a kilt to work, I know that wearing a skirt is going to be out of the question. However, after a minor skin-complaint in my nether regions, I stumbled across an interesting solution: swap the briefs for a short cotton skirt. I'm still in trousers (most of my trousers ar...

And I mean most posts in the thread. I was going to post that I only experimented with unbifircated garments once I moved into my own home. But then I recalled that that was not quite true: when I much younger my siblings and I used to play 'dress-up' with a old-clothes bag my mum had around. I don'...

I've not had any real putdowns. Rather, the comments from strangers have been encouragement or curiosity. I recently went on a (whirlwind) trip to the US, visiting New York City, Washington DC and Chicago, as well as heap of internet friends from another forum at a place near Philadelphia. I wore a ...

So many messages I could quote from... I'm wrestling with the wearing-skirts/kilts-is-a-gender-identity-issue thing. Except that it's kinda really not. You see, I know I'm quite definitely hetero: a guy simply does not 'do it' for me, but a girl can. But I still have a desire to wear skirts. So am I...

And though NYC is infected with the disease of Creeping Drabness, too, people still dress to be seen more than in most parts of the US. Something like 10-25% of the women are wearing skirts or dresses, and even the people not wearing skirts tend to put together a "look." You'll see bright...

My kilts are all 23" and on a friend's lounge, they can feel too short, but I know they're not. For even shorter... well, for about 6 months I've worn a short skirt to bed. 17", I think they are. Certainly in bed there's no real length problem! But I each breakfast before I get dressed, to...
