Ah yes, grew up in the mid-70s...our jeans when worn out would get cut off to be our shorts. Buying shorts? We didn't have the money for that. They were generally on the very short side but that was normal. The required gym class shorts were the same length for boys and girls, maybe 1" inseam. ...

Monday morning I took my wife to a doctor's appointment and by chance we happened to both be wearing skirts. Mine was a rather ordinary black denim one from Duluth, a little above the knee. We have the same doctor and while she was in with him, I was in the waiting room and did go up to ask about a ...

How cool is that! I would have been beaming from ear to ear after an interaction like that.

I definitely want to find a longer hockey sweater (jersey) that I can wear as a sort of shirt dress. Being really tall makes it somewhat difficult. I hadn't considered a normal jersey + a short skirt as an alternative, but I'll have to give that a try.

Skirts can definitely be more practical for things like that. I'm having a medical issue now where it's uncomfortable to wear tighter fitting things around my groin and skirts are a blessing, while I await being able to have surgery. FWIW, I'm "at that age" where we start getting prostate ...

I'm going to be spending a week RV camping through parts of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, and the FL Panhandle very soon and I really don't want to wear pants the whole damn time but I'm apprehensive. So I did my trip last week, and packed a hiking kilt and a few skirts, but I stuck t...

This is encouraging. I'm going to be spending a week RV camping through parts of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, and the FL Panhandle very soon and I really don't want to wear pants the whole damn time but I'm apprehensive.

If there's no pockets, I don't buy/wear it. My criteria for clothing includes being comfortable and functional just as much as how it looks. ...but with encouragement from my spouse and the men on this site, I added a purse to the mix; and purses eventually gave me almost total freedom and better o...

We had 300+ in a town of 7800 so that was nearly 4%. I was very tempted to skirt up, or at least kilt up, for it, but opted for shorts. There was plenty of hostility and accusations of mental illness directed at the gathering, I didn't want to give them something to focus on. And to add to the top l...

Wow. That kind of unlocked a forgotten childhood memory.

I cut the shorts out, it wouldn't let me quite wear it at the natural waist without. I'll have to dig out a photo and see if y'all think it's too short.

I like it but, for this older person, it's too short :( I get that, I'm 6'3", size 16 and on me it's about 2.5" above the knee, which is about where my shorts would be so I've been ok with it. My mail person (mail lady?) said I looked nice and cool today (we're in the middle of an early s...

Been enjoying the responses here! I was going to post a pic of the skirt I was talking about but there's some negativity here for people who don't show their faces in photos. Here's one from https://www.lee.com/shop/womens-ultra-lux-comfort-with-flex-to-go-skort-WFD1230.html leeskirt.jpg I tend to s...

This is going to be one of those random threads :lol: but do you have that one or two skirts that always makes you feel good/happy when you're wearing it? Is it something new or an old favorite? It's been in my mind because a few weeks ago I got a new skirt and it's nothing overtly special, it's jus...
