Re: What colour is your shadow?

I’m surprised, and more than that, by learning that a teacher can be fired for reading My Shadow is Purple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pjqJ2t1qQw for her fifth-grade students and ask them to work with the subject by finding ‘their’ colour. With my otherwise rather conservative eyes, I cannot se...

Re: "My Son Loves Wearing Dresses"

In kindergartens where two of my grandchildren have been, there were two boys (not at the same time) who would wear dresses every day. It was neither a problem for them, nor it was for the other children or their parents.

Re: I like this picture...

A good example, I think, that women have something. men don't have, including their ability to wear something, we shouldn't.

Re: ORTTU Clothing

These skirts are only half the price of the cheapest Ulilikilt - and look way better!

Re: Getting past fears of being perceived as gay, trans, etc.

The core issue here isn't what others think of you, it's whether or not they'll insult you or worse -- and society is getting much more violent and less tolerant every day. Sorry to hear that. I have quite the opposite impression from my country, Denmark. To me a more tolerating society seems to be...

Re: Getting past fears of being perceived as gay, trans, etc.

You can't avoid, I think, that some might believe you are something that you are not. However, does it matter what strangers think about you?

Re: Another small step

I think that when men can actually wear a SKIRTED garment in a context like this and without it getting commented, we certainly have come a big step further. By the way, to me this skirt is not a kilt. Also, it is worn without accessories like a sporran and kilt socks. To my experience, at least on ...

Re: Thoughts concerning silhouettes

Mens shirts are intended to go with trousers. If that implies, that women's tops are intended to go with skirts (and not trousers), I have to disagree. Wenn women started wearing trousers, they kept their tops, their shoes etc. All that changed were trousers instead of skirts and dresses. Therefore...

Re: Skirts in foreign lands

I always make sure that I have no metal parts, really no metal parts, when I go through security. I'll wear my USA Kilts casual which is fastened by means of Velcro. I have no kilt pin, no belt, no garters, no watch. Except the kilt only socks, a polo or t-shirt, and sneakers. Only once, I have been...

Re: Knee length length

I’m still a very tentative skirt wearer, with just the one to my name - the classic knee length denim beginner’s model. I’d like to push the boat a little further now and fancy something in black - maybe cotton, maybe corduroy - but still knee length and so kilt-like. I’m have difficulty finding so...

Re: Pockets vs. bags

When I’m wearing kind of jacket, like a wind breaker, I have pockets enough and don’t need a separate bag. However, when no need for a jacket, I’ll always wear a shoulder bag. Most skirts and all traditional kilts come without pockets and if a skirt has pockets, they in most cases are not roomy enou...

Re: Skirts in foreign lands

I'm going to Switzerland with my family next week. We are visiting all the places from my wife's childhood for her 50th. I'm fairly sure Switzerland will be like any other European country? Between 2000 and 2016 I have every year been on long holidays in Switzerland. I guess, I have spent what equa...

Re: kilted skirts

To me,
a kilt is a skirt but not every skirt is a kilt.

(but I only say it when outside of Scottish environment)

Just like,
a Mercedes-Benz is a car but not every car is a Mercedes-Benz.

Re: Oz Kilts

Yes, that's true. And the company is offering free world wide shipping. And you can have a kilt made shorter - at additional cost, of course: Or you can have it done afterwards where you live. Definitely not uninteresting.
