Re: Dresses?
I'll leave dresses to the ladies for now. Skirts? Yes, please make them for men, I'll wear them. An A-line skirt is much easier to fit to the male body than a dress (other than some shapeless dress that doesn't look good anyways). And while yes, men and women both being able to wear pants and skirts...

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
In suburban San Diego at Costco, I saw a college-aged guy in a graphic Tee, a solid, dark blue knee-length A-line skirt, and sneakers. Hair in a pigtail. I complimented his skirt, expressing appreciation that a guy would wear a skirt, because I too am a straight guy who would like to wear a skirt. H...

Re: Snoga Skirts: "Unisex" and Ready for Mass Male Adoption?
Not bad, but "mass male adoption"? I'm curious Liu Bang, what makes you use this very optimistic assertion? There is nothing in the sales pitch that suggests that they have men in mind, indeed the "modesty" angle indicates very differently I'm afraid. What's more a female buying...

Re: Snoga Skirts: "Unisex" and Ready for Mass Male Adoption?
Perusing the site, I discovered that they sell skirts with leggings attached.. Yes, but I got their Travel skirt which has no leggings, no shorts attached. It's made of legging material and the 22" length falls to the bottom of the knee. And it has pockets! It looks just as masculine as a pair...

Snoga Skirts: "Unisex" and Ready for Mass Male Adoption?
I bought this athletic, "modest" skirt. Seems as nondescript no-frills, and unisex as it gets. While marketed to women, it seems like a perfect gateway drug for an average straight guy like me. Wore it around San Diego Comic-Con and a Security Guard saw my skirt and still called me "S...

Re: Overly Flamboyant Outfits Detrimental to Mainstreaming MIS?
I think we would do best if we looked at traditional men's skirts and riffed off that look. For example, try riffing off the Fijian sulu. Style it like how they do in Fiji. Buy a plain, straight, midi-length dark blue/grey skirt and wear it with a suit on top. Maybe a T-shirt or button up shirt on t...

Overly Flamboyant Outfits Detrimental to Mainstreaming MIS?
It's already enough of a battle for cis-hetero men to wear a plain, no-frills skirt with an otherwise masculine outfit to work. But at least if you do so, half the people will understand you're simply a cis-hetero guy who likes wearing skirts (even if the other half of the population mistakes you as...

Re: Making the effort....inspiration for us.
Where do others get their inspiration from? If inspiration is low on the streets, where else should we be looking? On the Amtrak to Cleveland I had a great conversation with a girl no more than five years older than me. Yellow, unisex, short-sleeved, crew neck T-shirt with a maneki-nekko on it. It ...

Re: A Formula for Successfully Selling Men's Skirts
I know some of you don't like the thought of marketed, men's skirts, in traditional male colors and basic masculine styles. But let's say several companies do make a rugged boring grey skirt for men. Atleast it's a skirt for men, it's a start in the right direction. It's a free country, and for the...

Re: US Senate dress code
With one exception: if you are wearing a skirt to express national identity, like a Fijian man in America wearing a sulu to work. National origin is protected under the same laws as gender identity (Title VII, etc.)

Re: A Formula for Successfully Selling Men's Skirts
From my perspective, the main thing that prevents me from buying a "women's" skirt are the small sizes. Perhaps, conversely, that the main thing that propelled things like "boyfriend's fit" pants was because it's easier for a woman's small body to fit into a pair of men's oversi...

Re: "Women Care About Personality, not Looks"
Back to the topic. There are several premises that come out of the mouths of the same people, yet they seem contradictory: Premise 1: "Women care about personality, not looks, while men care about looks, not personality." Conclusion 1: If that's true, then women should be the ones who are ...

"Women Care About Personality, not Looks"
Conventional wisdom tells us that when looking for a mate, women care about personality first, a steady salary second, and looks dead last. As in perhaps not caring about looks at all. As in choosing the bald guy with a heart of gold over the handsome but rude guy. Good. Then women shouldn't care wh...

Re: MIS Skews Older?
the odds are that the guy wearing the skirt is straight vastly outweigh the odds of him being on the "Spectrum". A glimmer of hope? Perhaps most men in skirts...are indeed cishet men, rather than pre-op trans-women? Perhaps my skirt-wearing colleague who used the men's restroom, had a dee...
