Fortunately, I wear in Europe a 40 or 41. 8 to 8.5 in the USA. A lot more choices than the bigger sizes. But even my size, the choices get slim. :(

As far as I am concerned white is acceptable for top, middle and bottom wear at ANY time, Easter, birthday, Halloween, Christmas, it doesn't matter. We don't celebrate Memorial Day over here ( but I admire you for having such a day ) as we do that on November 11th, Armistice Day. [0] But even so we don't have silly conventions about not wearing white before, during or after any particular day. If I want to wear white, I wear it.

[0] The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month we celebrate a two minute silence in memory of those who gave their tomorrows so that we could have our todays.

Me on my way to the Frankfurt airport. Wife and I are flying back to Dallas for the next 6 months. It's been unseasonably warm here in Germany the last few weeks so I have gotten some sun on the old legs, enough to go without hose. Wearing lower heels this time. The last trip to Dallas, I was wearing 4-1/2" heels and it was a long walk thru customs in Dallas.

A good look. I love the red skirt and the top is of the type I wear a lot of during summer....

....and vests and camis. The red shoes look good too, although it's difficult to see the size of heel.

Old pictues of me wearing a A-skirt

Post by Mark as in Mark »

I found some old pictures, if you call last summer old, of me wearing an A-skirt and some 3-inch heels. I like the pencil skirts and the 4-inch heels better. :D

I think you could carry off a short A line but the pencil skirts are a much better look on you

Enough of the A-skirts. :lol: When I get home from the office I usually change skirts and shirts to something more casual. Wife and I were meeting some friends for a drink, so I went with some higher heels. I love summer-time, it's so nice not having to wear hose.

Here's the problem: "out of consideration to LGBT youths".

That alone nixes the thing as anything meaningful as far as straight boys are concerned -- at least in a Western society.

I wish -- fervently wish -- that the "powers that be" could see beyond the hype, fads, and latest smoke and finally "get it " that skirts actually work in the real world. They don't just work on girls and women; they work on boys and men as well. That sexuality gets universally confused with the notion of fashion ought to be regarded as a touch-point of shame not of misguided "sensitivity".

...but would be even classier with sheer hose. I totally get the bare legs comfort in heat thing - but the outfit is quite tailored, and that doesn’t sit easily with bare legs - to me anyway.

I’m currently bare legged with my skirts - and have been for about 50 days - but my skirts are informal. If I wear a pencil skirt, or something tailored - OR court shoes of any height - I’ll be in sheer hosiery.

While I have to agree to some extent that it focuses on the LGBT youth, it opens many more doors for us straight skirt wearing guys. Because of your wish that the "powers that be" may never happen. This dress code in schools is happening. If more schools adopted this dress code, then when these youth get out of school and get into the workforce, more and more employers will be forced to adapt their dress code as well to accommodate these youths. Although this may be done for the LGBT group, it benefits us as well. The youth will grow up to be men at some time, skirts on men will become more common in a work environment.

As for as "nixes the thing as anything meaningful" only if you do not want to be labeled in the LGBT group when you wear a skirt. I certainly don't want to be, but most strangers automatically do that anyway. I'm not saying this is a perfect solution, and in time, but the overall public opinion will be to accept a man in a skirt.

I just see it as an opportunity that skirts become more common among men.
