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.

That's a great-looking outfit.
No negative reactions, I presume?
Thanks for the compliment Caultron.
No negative reactions so far. I hope not to receive any.
Wearing a skirt in public is a step further for me, one might say, than just wearing a utility kilt albeit a ladies version of a utility kilt but with tights and heels.

I don't think that skirt looks very much like a utility kilt but that's OK, and I do think the skirt, tights, and shoes work well together.
I hope this successful outing gives you confidence to venture forth again!
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.
My favourite colour of tights is currently, nearly black closely followed by black. I'm not a big fan of natural tan tights.
I tried a pair of natural tan tights (pantyhose) with my A-line skirt today. I still prefer the nearly black or black shades of legwear.
See the two pictures below for comparison.

Whilst I was out in the street, early this morning, my outfit (as above) drew a wolf whistle.
Skirt, MJ shoes, nearly black tights with a black polo shirt.
The person who whistled may have meant it to be ironic but I'll take it as positive.
Both pictures look really nice. I see nothing wrong with the tan ones at all.

Looks good to but I am not Irish! Seriously it looks fine it does not matter what religion he is Irish or Italian. I am Heine's 57 and I like it.

The last time out I wore black knee socks. That photo is a few pages back on this blog.
Tomorrow I am going to see one of my accounting clients He is Irish
I am planning on wearing the kilt with tights what do you think any suggestions
I think that tights rather than knee socks would be preferable (and hands out of pockets )
It might also be an idea to try the kilt and boots with some lighter coloured tights or pantyhose (brown or tan maybe)?
