My favourite skirts for flying are all knee length travel/hiking skirts: Marmot Riley (the older version) - https://www.rei.com/media/eec95121-1e10-48d8-9fd2-a9dee84c72c9?size=512x682 Kathmandu Semsa Travel Skirt - https://kmd-assets.imgix.net/catalog/product/1/4/14694_semsatravelskirt_c_902.jpg?aut...

Hi Bowtie. I wear skirts like that with shirts like that plus black sock and trainers all the time except in mid-winter. That's my uniform. In fact I just returned from 3 weeks travel around the UK including the south-west wearing only clothes like you propose to wear. In summer an outfit as you pro...

So David R, please be careful when writing your 'thoughts'. Check your "facts" before quoting them. The info I've written comes with 20+ years experience of wearing kilts. - Uncle Al Thanks Uncle Al for the three benefits of pleats on the back of kilts, based on your 20+ years experience ...

bertino56 is correct. Larger sizes have greater sweep (circumference of hem). This skirt (in larger sizes) does hang pretty straight with no flare which looks OK for a man's skirt. The key is that the material stretches when a large stride is taken so you don't need pleats or an A-line flare. So the...

After wearing my two new Kathmandu skirts all day for the last few days I have now posted a review in the customer reviews section "Great for Men Too" http://www.kathmandu.com.au/womens/clothing/dresses-and-skirts/semsa-skirt-women.html The great thing is that website moderator has chosen ...

I have tried the Zara skirt at a Zara store and was not initially impressed however this judgement was considering the skirt worn over bare legs as an everyday skirt. On reflection I now think I understand the style intent and I think this skirt could look good over black leggings as winter wear. Th...

Zara now have a skirt intended for wear by men. The Zara men's Dark Skirt can be found on the Zara website in the Man Shorts section.

skirtyscot - I was surprised to note that I have made only 7 posts in 10years. I used to post on Toms Café before the site became Skirt Café. Perhaps those posts don't count. My wife hates the look of tartan kilts but she is reasonably happy with me wearing plain non-tartan skirts. She tells me that...

Traditional kilts are garments designed for standing and marching. They are not suitable for sitting in. Sitting on pleats is uncomfortable and having to arrange the pleats as you sit is a pest. In addition the flat apron front does not drape well between your legs when sitting, to provide modesty. ...

I have three of the old Mountain Kilts from Mountain Hardware plus an Elkommando Kilt that have all been worn for travels around the work and at home in Australia. The plain Mountain kilt is the best as the Elkommando kilt is styled with pleats at the back to resemble typical kilt pleating. The plea...

That’s a great selection of skirts for comparison Peter. Reviewing the skirts: The Original Freeman To my eye the lower part of the Freeman does not look right. The pleats start too low down. The skirt is too long and dowdy. It looks practical however. I do not think that this style will be popular ...
