The last time I wore trousers, was just after our Thanksgiving Holiday, up until
December 24th. This is my "part-time" retirement job, wearing The RED suit :santa:

I wish I was a daily wearer! I probably average 2 days a week, and usually not out in public or the entire day. My wife, while mostly supportive, would rather not see me in dress of skirt. Looking into more kilts and shorts/trousers that look like skirts to try and bridge the gap.

Well, I do wear a dress at work daily, in public, but I have trousers on under it as part of my nurses uniform, I find the regular shirts are to short and the pockets are badly placed so everything falls out. The dress covers everything even when I lift my arms and the contents of the pockets stay put.

It is easier for me to count the times I wore pants, so far on 3 nonconcurrent days this year and the rest of the time wearing a skirt.

I really like skirts but wearing one all day everyday doesn't work for me.
My alternatives are some 3/4 length addidas baggy trousers. A pair or baggy camo knee length shorts. Or blue chinos/jeans. I have a couple of suits for special occasions.

Almost every day. Occasional dress and some clothes-free days.

I wear skirts every time we go out of the house. Yesterday a woman came up to me in publix and said she really liked my skirt and that she loves to see someone who dares to be different, and last week while I was going to an appointment at the VA hospital, two veterans complimented me on my skirt.

Not out and about in my local community or when we have visitors, but otherwise most days including out and about our yard where I can be seen if people are looking.

When my trousers are in the wash!

I will probably start wearing them more in the winter.

Most days, though I sometimes wear leggings if it's a bit on the cold side as even women aren't skirted every day. Once I buy some thick tights and stockings as winter is coming, I will wear more skirts... I just ordered another skirt and it arrives in the next two days 8)

I quite enjoy wearing skirts but currently I would say that it's between two to six times a month. I wear skirts (and occasionally dresses) as an alternative to shorts in summer and jeans / trousers during other times of the year. It's very much early days when it comes to wearing a dress for me, only ever wore then inside the house or when on holiday abroad but would like to start getting out and about in them.

What I find a bit of a barrier is putting an outfit together, I'm keen to ensure that my t-shirt co-ordinates well with the skirt that I'm wearing so the outfit looks "good" and I therefore feel confident in it. Gradually getting better at this over time, having lots of patterned / tartan skirts makes things a bit trickier so think I'll look out for some more plain skirts to add to my collection.

I have commented to Stevie that MIS have to go through their teenage years again with experimenting and making horrendous mistakes.

At least now the unspoken fashion 'rules' are much looser than they used to be.

Mixing and matching colour and patterns is now perfectly acceptable.

If anyway comments the usual response is "it's fashion sweetie"

Experiment, have fun and if it feels good and is appropriate go for it.

It's always worth remembering that "There is no such thing as a failed experiment. It can always be used to guide one on what not to do next time."

Indeed. Life is too short to not have fun at it.

Daily.

I’m preparing to go on a longish (15km) walk in the countryside later this morning.
