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.
Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.
Rather than flood the group with entirely too much Ralph, I put together a montage of my new purchases. As temperatures head up into the 90's and beyond, my preference for long or at least mid-length sleeves goes up in a puff of smoke. I also much prefer maxi lengths, but I went ahead and got a shorter skirt for days when it's so hot I can't move. I can't bring myself to go out in such a short outfit, though - I'm afraid I'll have a Marylin Monroe moment with a sudden breeze or if I bend over. But it sure makes working around the house a lot more comfortable!
Everything was from ebay sellers except the grey tank dress second from left. That was an "Amazon Essentials" purchase, surprisingly good quality for a ridiculously low price. The only problem was that according to the Amazon sizing chart, I should have gotten a 1X or even a 2X to fit my waist but the 1X hung on me like a circus tent. Sent it back and got a Large instead, and it fits just right.
Understood, Tom. Unfortunately, I do not. EVER. post information that can identify me - my face, my full name, my birthdate, my city - anywhere I don't have control over the audience. I have more tinfoil hats than skirts. Only family and my immediate circle of friends known to me personally get more information than blurred (or replaced) faces. That's how I have been since I first got online nearly 40 years ago, and it's not going to change now.
For what it's worth, that's all me from the neck down. No cardboard cutouts. Also a very rough approximation of my face, which I use in virtual worlds (this one is from Second Life).
