I would have thought Brighton would be a very popular place for skirting. There were loads of nice skirts and dresses but they were all on women! Whatever is...

A big welcome to the café from me too. I live a bit further west from you along the M4 in S.Wales and having overcome the initial scary feeling now wear a skirt almost all the time - it’s great!

Hi Dani92, Welcome to Skirtcafe. As others have said most of us on here have gone through exactly the same angst and found that it is mainly in our head as most people don't even notice and those that do rarely comment. However it may be that in your "conservative part of the country" you ...

I got my first really nice compliment from. a male stranger today. It is a warm and sunny day and I was wearing a just above the knee skirt on a local walk and a council worker who was wearing a pair of quite short shorts stopped me and said, "That a nice skirt. Perfect for this weather. I wish...

We’ve had some warm and sunny weather lately and I’ve taken to doing some long walks with bare legs and sandals. Most people probably don’t notice my skirt or, if they do, they pass by with no comment but yesterday a lady smiled at me and said “Nice and airy” - just hope I heard her right and she wa...

Welcome to the cafe Kevino19, As others have stated you will find a lot of support and advice from other members. Most of us have had to deal with the same issues you mention and I certainly value the encouragement and help I’ve received from being a member. I now wear a skirt virtually every day - ...

I'd like to add my welcome too. As several others have already said your predicament resonates with many of the members of the cafe. I faced the same problem and still do to some extent. Unfortunately logic (women can wear what men traditionally wear - trousers/shirts/ties etc. - without any comment...

I think we are in a golden place in time in the UK. It is unremarkable now to see a man in a skirt on the street. What does seem remarkable is that you rarely see a woman in a skirt on the street now either. It may be because it is winter but in a carriage on the underground the other day there wer...

Hola John, Welcome to the cafe. I spent two weeks in La Palma just before Christmas and wore a skirt the whole time. Although it is the Canary Islands rather than mainland Spain I had no adverse comments either in restaurants or simply when walking about. Most people probably didn’t even notice, so ...

I actually wonder if the identity of the skirt matters any more than the person wearing it. This thread lies under the main heading of "Advocacy & Mens Skirts "( sic - for lack of an apostrophe). I would rather the main heading was simply "Advocacy & Skirts". We have some...

Whereas for me this is the first Christmas I'm spending all day in a skirt!
Merry Christmas everyone and best wishes for a happy and healthy skirting New Year.

Welcome to the cafe Wadar. I'm in Wales, UK and like the Emerald Isle we do not have any deserts here either, and it rains a lot too, but still a good place to wear skirts. There is a wealth of advice and support ready and waiting for you.

Welcome to the cafe Ama.
You will find lots of helpful kindred spirits in the cafe and a wealth of advice. Once you have made a few posts you will gain access to all the images too.
Enjoy your skirt wearing.

So, What is wrong here? This is a thread that is under "Skirts and Kilts for Men" - whatever happened to rule 2 of this cafe? In case anyone needs reminding Rule 2: ". No politics, unless related to skirts/kilts. No religion, unless related to skirts/kilts. These topics were banned be...

… so as there are no purists in the N.E. of Scotland where you hail from Stevie, I wonder why you call it a kilt and not a skirt. The answer to your question is context. It is quite ‘normal’ to see a Scotsman in a kilt in Scotland and indeed elsewhere in the UK but Bird is not Scottish and Gravesend...
