Some look a little more "femme" than members may be comfortable with, but I think experimentation is key.

Re: Ladies' skirts that should look good on men...
And finally, a picture of the first suggestion I made on 4 June:
a similar stlye in a different colour:
and this one I purchased a while back from http://www.topshop.com which I recently wore with a normal "mans" office shirt and tie, black opaque tights (pantyhose) and black boots. I thought the style might work as male office attire, albeit unconventional, but I wasn't brave enough to wear it to the office

I would like to wear the gray skirt and the black heels - very elegant looking.
There is nothing worse than double standard!

I particularly like the third style, though with a manly wide leather belt. I can see this style on a man.skirtingtherealissue wrote:And a few others from M & S:

Hi,
It's been about 3 year since I posted, though I re-introduced myself on the intro thread above.
The only skirts I've ever bought have been those intended for female attire. Personally, I wouldn't go for a kilt if I was paid to. I don't see the need to differentiate between the genders when it comes to clothing. I'm a guy in a skirt, so the rest of the world can deal with that however it wants, though I can appreciate that's something some are more at ease with than others. The whole femme-look thing doesn't bother me anymore.
Right now I'm sitting at the enquiry desk at the academic library where I work, wearing a lightweight ankle-length dark green skirt I bought from Marks and Spencer's Per Una range a couple of years ago. Walked into work in it this morning, as usual, in perfect freedom. The skirt's one of my favourites actually, it's light enough for summer wear, yet goes with tights (hose) in the winter if needed, and looks great with boots or sandals (the latter at the moment, it's a glorious sunny day), it hangs and moves really nicely, and I've had compliments and comments upon it this morning from folk at work, colleagues and customers, which is always nice, and a constant source of encouragement. No pockets in it, which is sometimes a drawback, but since I'm an enthusiastic bagman, I get around that shortcoming easily.
I really must get it together to provide some pictures, but the means lie beyond me at the moment, financially and technically.
Last autumn M&S had a couple of black and grey long skirts in kind of heavy denim material, ideal for winter, which I've worn throughout the colder months, at work and elsewhere. Great quality and really comfortable. They both came with belts, but since neither were especially attractive, I've put them aside and used other belts. The skirts are fine without them anyway.
BHS have always been good for cheap summer skirts, lower thigh or knee length, and just below the knee. I've bought several last year and this, in black, stone, khaki and grey, in thin cotton. I hardly wear anything else this time of year. Even out shopping in the city centre, either no one notices, or no one cares. When you're walking along they look just like shorts anyway, only you know the truth! They have pockets aplenty, and belt loops if you need them, and they are a doddle to wash and dry. I just wish I had more room for storage!
It's good to be back.
Best wishes,
Ash
