I recall a comment I once came across, a woman's reaction to MIS-"I don't want men to stop being men!" The problem I have with that sentiment is that it reduces 'being a man' (or 'being a woman' for that matter) to what you are wearing. It's the old 70s trope of men 'chasing anything in a...

When I saw the headline on this BBC piece today, I had high hopes: Shorts at work: Can men now get their legs out in the office? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crlj0g43n18o Not really, I wasn't expecting it to suggest we wear skirts. But I was a bit disheartened to read that even shorts might be ...

My daughter is in her early 20s and goes to events like swing dancing regularly. She reports that there's usually at least one guy at any event in a skirt or dress, two at the last one she went to. Her generation don't really see it as that remarkable: they've grown up with much more diversity and w...

..and I have a robe that I wear round the house before and after showering. If it wasn't in heavy towelling fabric it would be called a dress

Hi John, from Castilla y Leon to the east of you! (And also Norfolk... I bounce between the two places!) Good to see you here and I echo your sentiments. No, there's not much skirt wearing to be seen in provincial Spain, even amongst women! However, I do feel that the Spanish are generally more tole...

I was quite please to see this article today, and encouraged by the way it started, then disappointed as it ended up talking just about drag. They didn't explore the 18% of respondents who wear 'women's clothers' just because they like the way they feel. https://wellbeingmagazine.com/study-reveals-t...

Thanks Mouse, that's a great help... I'll have a go at that I think!

I know this is about 10 years old now, but I keep coming across this image of a kilt made by Marc Jacobs, which strikes me as exactly what I would like to buy, or perhaps copy and make for myself. I can't find any for sale or any references to them online, and certainly no pattern that I could buy a...

I'm going to say in this case I interpret the 'for all' line as being inclusive of all body shapes, deliberately including plus-sized women. That it also catches men is a marketing bonus for them I expect.

Great blog entry Mouse, thanks for sharing!

I have a couple of pairs - they're excellent for the price. And because they're sized, you can actually get ones that fit.

I think this article is right on the money - I think it reflects the reality of men in skirts these days.

I've made a point this summer in going out more skirted, and asking the opinions of female friends (or friends of my wife). Without exception, they have shrugged and said 'I don't see why men shouldn't wear skirts', like it's a pointless question. Granted, there's obviously no suggestion of any futu...

Where did you read that BM... can you post a link?

I have not had any negative comments made to me in all this time.... So if anyone is still not sure about wearing a skirt in public I say go for it, because as it’s been said on this site so often the public are not mothered by it, yes they double take but generally are not bothered any more. Thank...
