Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.

I think the designers for the mens collections have a really hard time in coming up with something interesting and new that is inside the man box.
I call the man box a man coffin. Thank goodness I escaped it.
Talk about making a Mount Everest out of an anthill! I wear dresses simply because I'm tired of seeing *EVERYBODY* wearing trousers. Also, dresses are much more comfortable.
When I am out and about, I NEVER listen to music as I like to maintain situational awareness. Thanks to being on estradiol valerate for over 13 years, I don't look like a man in a dress, so I don't get negative remarks with the dresses I wear. I don't have much hair on my legs, and what little I hav...
I seldom wear hats. The only time I wear one is when it is extremely cold and I will be outside for awhile. The hat is a corduroy cap with side flaps, which is definitely NOT a fashion accessory.
As all you know, on Sunday mornings I doll myself up with a dress, 3 inch heels, hoop earrings, and makeup along with my usual nail polish. I have a lady friend who wears jeans and a t-shirt. She said, "How can you walk with such high heels?" I explained I used to walk tippy toed so it's n...

The problem is that most men prefer to stay in the Man Box because it is very safe in there. If women wear it or have adopted it, men will stay away from it.
I call a Man Box a Man Coffin. I folded, spindled, and mutilated my man card before burning it.
As an American, I can't stand the way the US as been so SLOWW in adopting metric units. US customary units (similar to imperial except for volume measurements) are like old pre-decimal British money: 12 pence to a shilling and 20 shillings to a pound. And the Fahrenheit temperature scale has that we...
I have elected to keep my masculine name and identity, and I speak with a deep masculine voice. I have to admit I have been on estrogen for the past 13 years, so I have a somewhat feminine appearance. I don't need breast augmentation at all. I will *NOT* have bottom surgery, SRS. Yesterday my dermat...
Yesterday (2025 July 30) I went to a restaurant with other members of the local amateur radio club for a weekly brunch. I was wearing a floral dress that was slightly above the knees and sandals. One waitress said to me, "Hi, beautiful one".
I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas, and we are enduring highs of 38°C/100°F. The most sensible garments that I wear are short dresses. I need all the air to cool myself in those hot conditions. To conserve energy I set my air conditioning to 27°C/80°F.
All I wear these days are dresses. The last time I wore trousers was to my mother's funeral 2024 late September. Some lady in my church approached me to tell be of a dress sale at Walmart. I said I didn't need any more dresses since I have more than 40 of them. She told me she had only 4 dresses. An...
I take it one step further. I ALWAYS wear dresses. Just think, I don't have a belt around my waist and I never have to match my top with my bottom. I have the necessary chest mounds to fill out the chest area of my dresses. They are so comfortable, I wonder why more people, particularly women, don't...
The prohibition of men wearing skirts and dresses,from my experience, resides in their heads. I wear dresses ALL the time, and I have yet to be harrased or threatened in any way. That include church, shopping, meeting up with other men in my local amateur radio club, getting my vehicle serviced, etc...
