Like the 2nd one, but a bit long for me.

Are the pockets deep enough?

[Gregg1100]

You can drop a Galaxy Note 4 in both pockets fully- it disappears from sight--plus the little change pocket at front right side. No rear pockets. I normally have an 18 in a skirt with button and zip . This skirt is a 16, and plenty big enough for comfort. Fantastic value at this price. Plus looks very smart.
And at the end of the day, no one really needs to spend any more on a skirt. I do not buy second hand skirts, but wait for sales. Most shops have seemingly permanent sales, lol.

I like denim but I also like corduroy. My favourite is from Long Tall Sally - it has just been reduced in price. It is knee length and the quality is excellent, thje fit is generous and the colour is quite striking. (The pockets aren't especially deep, though.) Highly recommended.

You might like the Holly Hills Cord skirt from Woolrich. I have several cord skirts from floor length to mini. This one is just below the knee. The quality is really pleasing.

I have a few denim skirts, my favorite being a wrap skirt that I find quite smart, though it is without pockets or the usual decorative stitching (or should that be "because it is without ...?)

However, a Spanish lady friend of mine recently plucked up the courage to tell me that, although she liked my tartan skirts, she just could not accept my wearing the plain denim skirt. She found it "feminine", though for me, what could be more "manly" than plain, dull old blue denim? The fact that, in Spanish, denim is called "vaquero", cowboy cloth, did not make it masculine for her. Seems to be a contradiction to me.

Was it the fabric or the style that made her think it feminine?

Or, "Is denim itself becoming feminised?"

Well, ask her, but perhaps she sees a plaid skirt being closer to a kilt than a denim one.

If I was in the market for another denim skirt I'd certainly consider on of these, probably the first, as they look like very good value. I've currently got my eye on something else skirt wise on Ebay, however my "collection" is getting to the point where I need really to work on a one in, and one out basis.

The style could hardly be plainer, no frills or decoration, just a fairly straight skirt.
For some reason a tartan kilt seems to be acceptable because Scottish (therefore not gay), but a plain skirt cannot be Scottish, therefore there must be another reason for wanting to wear it.

Yes, Carl, denim has been feminized. The thousands of denim skirts on the market were not manufactured for men.

Then what explains the fact that most denim skirts fasten in the manner of the old workman's trousers, i.e. left-over-right? Are men about to lose jeans as a style choice as well?

Are men about to lose jeans as a style choice as well?

That would be fine with me. My only two pair of jeans live at my brother's house for use when I visit and he puts me to work on his property. But I take skirts with me to wear at other times.

I predict that men will remain firmly in control of the drooping waisted "plumber's crack."
