The Perfect Skirt??
What would be the perfect skirt!
I've seen this discussed before.
Pockets or no pockets? Pleats? Full skirt? A-line?
Maybe it's not a skirt at all!
Maybe it's a garment that is even harder to sell then a skirt.
How about a dress?
It doesn't have to be feminine anymore the a skirt does!
The advantage:
It hangs down from the shoulders and doesn't need to be belt to keep it in place.
It can be put over your head withoout stepping into it.
It can have any hem length all the way down to your knees.
In bad weather, with petticoats undeneath, it can be warm.
You can have pockets (no need for a purse) and the weight won't pull the waist band down (this applies to pants as well).
All in all a dress comes far closer to being an ideal garment for ease of wear then anything else. Pants, short pants and even skirts just don't match up.
The draw back is no one makes a dress for men.
Skirts and pants today are more or less unisexual, really. And skirts for men can be called kilts even if they aren't.
But a dress is seen by everyone as being JUST for women, even more so then skirts.
And that a real pity.
Dresses for men!
Maybe I should try a new web site to advocate for the concept.

Dresses the next logical step
Hi there, although this is a forum for men in skirts, i do agree fully.
I am putting my answer in the freestyle section, possibly more appropriate.

A man is the same man in a pair of pants or a skirt. It is only the way people look at him that makes the difference.
Dresses for men? Don't tell the Saudis, they have been wearing them for generations!! Galabiyyas, Thobes just to name two styles. Cool and eminently practical, they aren't jumping into western trousers any time soon. What about the clerical cassock/ soutane? We western men are just too narrow minded and insecure to embrace world clothing when it is patently better than what "we" stubbornly cling to.
