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.
If you're new to the Cafe, please grab a seat by the potted palm, settle down with a nice big latte, and tell us a little bit about yourself. Please also look here for forum principles and rules.
Hi there. Me here on California's Central Coast, SLO area. Not skirting in public yet, but really don't like pants. Never wear 'em at home, wife accepts and supports it actually. Plan is to do a vacation soon with me in skirts/dresses most, if not all the time. No real agenda here, just chiming in as i've been lurking now and then for a bit. No pics as of yet. Ok, that's it for now.

Does your Mrs support you being skirted away from home as well? (Wish mine did )
Re the vacation - go for it! Let us know about it in due course. Maybe it will give you the confidence to be skirted more regularly.
I bet San Luis would be very accepting of a guy wearing a skirt! I went to Cal Poly and wish I was still down there. I am in the San Jose area and get out in a skirt once in a while. Very cool your wife is supportive, mine is not. Go out and wear it in SLO!
Welcome from San Jose! I wear skirts and kilts around here and have had no negative comments. Just a few second glances but that's about it. I'm heading down to San Diego for a small vacation and might be passing through SLO on my way back home, probably wearing a black skirt.

Mine does to a degree, but only when she isn't with me !

Same here, but I call that not supporting me! She doesn't mind, as I can tell from the tone of her "Are you going / Did you go out like that?" when I am going out or coming back from somewhere skirted, but only if it is not in our town.
Not intended to be a criticism of her. It's not what they expected from me! She and the children are still trying to put off the dreadful day when someone we know sees me skirted.
Hi Calidude,
Great to know there's at least one other in the Central Coast area! I hike the central coast skirted all the time especially Morro Bay to San Simeon. I planned on doing all the peaks in various skirts. So far I did Bishop Peak (SLO) and Valencia Peak (Montana-De-Oro SP) in denim skirts and also Cerro Alto in the original Mountain Hardware kilt (prefer it to the new one). My wife too is very positive about it. At Christmas we both hiked one of the coastal state parks kilted. We have a great time in skirts and I find I get less and less shy about it. As you know, life's too short to think about it too much.
