Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.

It's not a true pencil, plenty room for movement.
The different bit is the wrap front. That get's the attention because it moves in the slightest breeze. no danger, there's a fully sewn seam behind it.
Workwise, I have had it on for three continuous days, that's a maximum, the usual is two. The shape retention is almost perfect. My other skirts get so creased at the back they get more recycling.
Still no comment, that's good, it say's just that, "nothing".
I reckon I have arrived.
One downside, I am now officially, UK size 14, tee hee!
Steve.
I'd love to know how they arrived at the 30%?
(Keeps quiet, having last bought a size 8 skirt that fits)
I chose the black, I still believe that a reasonably conservative look is the best way forward in terms of work wear.
As for the size, it's not that bad for my rather advanced age. I do still have 12s that fit perfectly well and more importantly, comfortably. My waist is 32" ish.
I still have doubts about the 30%, I'd love to know the size and sections of men it drew from.
Steve.
As for the 30%, you have to wonder how they found their sample. Their own customers, perhaps? Or maybe it was a properly constituted cross-section of UK men, and the man skirt floodgates are about open. I won't hold my breath!
I would like to see the skirt but the link is broke.
I get Marks and Spenser website but 'page not found'.
If you still have access to the page, copy the image
and post it, please.
Thanks

I respond-The why is F.T.H.O.I. (For The H--- Of It)
I love the length
Needs more pockets for me and a fuller A-Line
This way, I can sit and have enough fabric fall where
it needs to fall providing proper modesty

I have one similar to that, in blue, an "asymmetric pencil skirt" or a "fake wrap skirt" which I got from Lane Bryant.
I usually spread my legs wide at the knees at about 45 degrees into sitting and just before hitting the chair bring my knees to straight-ahead parallel which causes the material to fall nicely between my legs just as the kilt does but without a sporran. Not sure where I got that idea from but it works.
Another problem with that article is the author's name, or rather, pseudonym. Anyone who chooses to be named after a railway station throws their own credibility out of the window!
