Re: Wearing skirts over trousers is not the same?

While I would agree that anyone can wear what they like, my thought is that skirts over trousers are just trousers+ not men in skirts. A man in trousers can wear a knee length coat with the same look as a trouser/skirt combo. Again its not MIS. It seems that most men will do anything but discard the...

Re: Eddie Izzard UK elections 2015

I must say that Eddie looks darned smart in that outfit. Dare I say that he looks far better dressed that many women do today. (and don't get me started on the scruffy bloke look!)

As for the election - alas, the politicians got in again!! :roll:

Re: A kilt is not a skirt?

As well as several traditional kilts and an urban cotton one, I also have a few pleated skirts in various materials. They are in various colours but not tartan. However, people still call them kilts when talking to me, so it would seen that any pleated skirt worn by a man is a kilt in the eyes of th...

Yes there are. They are called knee pads! e.g http://www.gardeningoncloud9.com/201004 ... -knee-pad/

I have a pair for gardening and DIY while skirted :D

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large

If you smile at people and wish them a nice day, the skirt doesn't bother them at all. Quite so. I went down town yesterday in hot Summer sun. I wore my black utility kilt, sandals and a shirt. Plenty of looks from all and sundry, but a smile and a good morning did the biz. I got lots of beaming sm...

Re: Why don’t more men wear skirts?

What fiend led me to Ebay? I've just been and gone and ordered two sarongs now! never had a sarong. However wot sarong with that? Sorry! A mate of mine wears sarongs at home and in the back garden. He would never dream of wearing a "skirt" though. Lads on holiday in the Med seem quite hap...

Re: A dearth of skirts

Yes, that's the state of Britain these days. I notice that even when the temperatures rise, women still stick to FBGs (female bifurcated garments). The men move into shorts as soon as, but women seem reluctant to wear any trouser that goes above the knee. I have recently seen women wearing knee leng...

Re: Skirts should be a normal choice for men & women

..... perhaps a knee length skirt hiding those shameful male thighs will be seen as more acceptable, who knows? Martin It's always struck me as odd when I view comments on articles about men in skirts, when a woman will say: " I don't want to see men's hairy legs" or "Men's legs shou...

Re: Lucky find

Excellent skirt and what a bargain. It is very similar to the one I have recently bought from Marks & Spencer. Mine however cost considerably more (GBP25/EUR30). The skirt is great for bike riding, but I always ensure I have dark underwear on. As a comment mostly for newbie skirters, in common w...

Re: Skirt that looks like shorts on Ebay

Why not make one yourself if you like the concept?

I found this article on the interweb -

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/hyperspace/s ... ecret.html

seems pretty much what the $40 ebay skirt is. The guy made his from 17" long shorts which may be better for some.

scruffy blokes

I have noticed that as the 21st century has progressed, men have become scruffier. This is particularly so in the 20s and 30s ages. The look is of unkempt hair and a 3 day growth of stubble. Quite often they will be accompanied by some really well turned out female, which seems to accentuate their u...

Denim skirt found!

Well, it appears that all I needed was patience. The clocks have just gone forward so I suppose it is Spring. Anyhoo, the shops are now stocking Summer clothing and I have managed to find two places that stock my desired skirt. The first is marks and Spencer @ £25 http://www.marksandspencer.com/wash...

Re: Sightings "in the wild"

I've just returned from 5 weeks in New Zealand on holiday with Mrs Mac. We were based in Wellington but went on a few road trips. On one of the latter up near Bay of Islands we called in a small roadside shop for supplies and were served by a man in a short white cotton dress and cardigan. He seemed...

Re: When Windows was fun

Thank goodness for "Weird" Al Yankovic. He's perhaps the last voice of sanity on the planet since Tom Lehrer decided to give up on music. Ahah! A fellow Weird Al fan. I have some DVDs of his but also 7" singles going 'way back. Remember "Eat It"? Yes, I'm a great fan of Al....
