Being faux-skirted.

Post by staticsan »

Having been asked to not wear a kilt to work, I know that wearing a skirt is going to be out of the question. However, after a minor skin-complaint in my nether regions, I stumbled across an interesting solution: swap the briefs for a short cotton skirt. I'm still in trousers (most of my trousers are roomy which is why this works), but everything is way more free inside. Unfortunately, I don't have many such skirts so I'll be looking at purchasing some boxer shorts next shopping trip.

Hey Wade, what was your employer's rationale for not permitting kilts? :(

What may work for you would be ladies' satin or silk boxers. In the UK, these are (or were) called French Knickers. I have a few pairs, and they feel soft and cool under trousers.
If wearing ladies underwear is not for you, you can probably find mens in a similar material and style.
All the best,

Andrew

Someone complained to HR about the 'guy in a skirt'. The HR lady, whom I'm actually friends with, decided she had to side with the complainant. It made them 'uncomfortable'.

Which is odd because she saw it when I came in that morning and we had a wonderful discussion about it. The issue of allowing it never came up at that point, so she was obviously happy about it. I think I took my own boss by surprise, which might have been why he was the one to ask me to 'reconsider wearing it'.

It probably didn't help that it was a snow camo Neokilt... :roll:

Yeah, a traditional tartan kilt might be better, or a solid color kilt.

Anyway, an option for wearing underneath trousers, might be one of those skirted swimsuit bottoms... I sometimes use one under my traditional kilts when I want something to provide protection against unwanted stains on my kilts... Has a built-in nylon brief, then a nylon miniskirt on top.

Sounds cool to me! At least it wasn't an Instakilt for office wear. :lol: I wonder if formality was the real issue or camo seen as threatening. If it is the nature of a kilt itself I hope you get a fair hearing should you complain about skirted women being obscene- you don't know what's up there. :roll:
