Guys,
Check out these skirts, the site says they are feminine, but by Western standards, most are not.

Nice skirts, not to bad---love the solid colors.

Alas, too long for my taste, but several have great prices.

It looks like context is everything.

The banner at the top states the matter quite well, and also explains why some of the examples don't look particularly "feminine". I'm quite deliberately not going to go in to that but will state that some of the examples could work very well on guys provided that the man in question would spend the time learning to manage such a garment.

I particularly liked the 24-gore skirt. I'd wear that in a heartbeat. I wonder if it comes in red.

They are nice, but, like what Al said, they're too long... If they were knee-length, I'd consider ordering a few...

I like long skirts and those certainly got my attention, especially since some had pockets. But I wonder if the waists wouldn't be a bit too high for men on a lot of them?

WOW those skirts are just fabulous! I wish a store was here where I could walk in and try them on!

I like all lengths of skirt, as with different moods, there are different skirts, just as men wear shorts and long pants. ...

Long skirts are ideal for evenings, when outside, and the length gives protection against insects and draught. But they are just great to wear. Choice, that is what many man want, and a knee length skirt for up and about, and a long dress for other activities. Whatever the reason, I love them. Long skirts are even now that skirts and dresses are on the comeback, still very difficult to find at ankle length. ( I must say that I do not know how long they are, as I am 6 foot 1 inch myself.

The waist should be OK as far as I can see, much better than most other skirts of women's origine, as often they hang on the hips, which men don't use.
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.
