Looks like you were at the pub, Howard?
If so, I admire your bravery.

Re: Skirts are mind blowingly good

I hadn’t been out skirting for a while and today I decided to take the plunge to do a little shopping. I chose my favourite skirt, a gorgeous A line black leather maxi (with 4 pockets!) with buttery soft leather and I teamed it with 5 inch block heel boots, a black shirt and a dark suit jacket. It ...

Re: Missing Cafe' Members

PDX was getting a bit too aggressive with asserting that any man who dares to shove both legs down one pipe IS trans-* and came in for some fire over that and stomped off in a huff. Thanks for the update on Pdxfashionpioneer. :) Any information about nzfreestyler ? nzfreestyler hasn't posted in qui...

Pdxfashionpioneer?
They were last active, in February 2023, according to their profile page.
I hope that they're okay.

Modern Mixte Framesets (Disc Brakes)

A bike with a mixte frame, with a lower step over height, might be of help? https://momentummag.com/mixte-vintage-frame-design-is-the-new-trend-in-stylish-city-bikes/ Earlier in this thread , I suggested that mixte-type bikes with their lower step over height, might be helpful for cyclists who wear...

Re: Missing Cafe' Members

nzfreestyler hasn't posted in quite a while. Anyone know why? They used to post pretty regularly.

I notice that they have removed all of the images of outfits from their "Pics and Looks" thread.
The images were linked to a flickr account.

My first skirted bike ride

Just got back from my first, skirted bike ride. Never had sufficient courage to try it before. I rode a BMX-style bike with smaller than full-size wheels. Nominally 20" (406). A folding bike with handlebars and saddle at adult height. The top of the frame is 25" high so I had to lean the b...

Re: More gender neutral retail

My Google searches revealed only the Oxford and Guildford branches outside London. A bit odd having more than one map of branches. Glad to hear there are more, not so much because I want to go there, but because so many shops are closing. Urban Outfitters website team need to sort out their store l...

Re: More gender neutral retail

This time it goes beyond trousers for women. Initially I thought just in America but I think Urban Outfitters also in UK. https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/urban-outfitters-adds-wildfang-1236204140/ Yes. Urban Outfitters have 10 stores/shops around the London area then mail order for the ...

Re: Video and commentary on skirts doesn't leave men out.

This news entertainment item on skirts is light and interesting but does give a nod to MIS toward the end and mentions a book that some might find interesting. https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/Z_7cYdiFlGo1q7BFZ5VTq4uSMUetszff/ I found that your link to the video on CBS Sunday Morning - "The lon...

Re: Women wearing skirts

I have no qualms calling them mini skirts but perhaps if I said it was a cargo skirt (as it had patch pockets) it might have less stigma for a man's garment. I think she was being friendly and it was obviously a skirt, hence no seam. Perhaps was being diplomatic asking what I called it rather than ...

Re: Sightings "in the wild"

Saw a chap in a tartan kilt (Buchanan tartan) with white socks in Walthamstow, London. He stared at me, even though I was in an invisible denim skirt with boots. You didn't mention what type of legwear you had on, new2skirts. I suspect that given the time of year, it was continuous from your boots ...

I suspect that all three garments of the Skruit may need 'taking in" to continue to look great, together as an outfit?
Not just the skirt, STEVIE.
