Yes, tabs are used as party of the female uniform in multiple branches of service, essentially replacing the tie. As part of the uniform, they are prescribed colors, such as navy blue or black, with some in two colors closely layered (e.g.: navy blue and white). Being part of the uniform, they are not in "fun colors" like red, though I see no reason why someone wearing them outside the military couldn't pick another color.Grok wrote: ↑Wed Nov 26, 2025 8:13 pm I recall a post in which a member mentioned neck tabs. A neck tab is a form of female neck wear. Worn as part of the uniform of a female soldier. Neck tabs seem to be generally black, though I recall an image of a red one.
Another possibility for a man's suit. Imagine a brilliantly colored neck tab worn with a while dress shirt.
That said, I've never seen one worn by anyone not as part of a uniform, male or female. And with things like bow ties and bolos available to men in addition to the the standard neck tie already in "fun" colors and patterns, I see no reason to push for this odd bit of female uniform. And as small as a tab is there isn't much space to display fun patterns and designs anyway...

Matching jewelry colors with skin tones.

Oh, darn, another link that didn't work.
Generally, the meager selection allowed men has tended to be jewelry worn on clothing, such as cufflinks; tie bar, tie clip, tie pin; lapel pins. Exceptions, worn on skin-watches, rings.

How to Dress Masculinely in a Skirt.
I suspect that, if MIS were to gain traction beyond what we have seen so far, that most participants would stick to a handful of "masculine" skirt styles. This might be the mirror image of women who mostly wear trousers, but retain some open ended garments in their wardrobes.
More adventurous men might adopt various degrees of Freestyling. For example, a hybrid rig, an amalgam; choosing a different sort of skirt as a feminine ornament, while otherwise retaining stereotypical male garments.

I think this man is a good example of a Skirtonian.

Drat, another link that didn't work out. From the Beskirted Man:
Man did an experiment. He had gone MIS. Decided to switch back to stereotypical drab male clothes for a week. Found it hard to go back to a meager, boring selection. He even cheated by putting on a utility kilt at one point.
The man realized that skirts had become part of his identity.
