A Skirt Is The Way To Go For Men & Women
by Lisa
(Poughkeepsie, New York)

It is refreshing to see more women on the trail sporting skirts. Not only are they functional but they look great too.
If modesty is a concern then a nice skort is always an option. They are non restrictive, cool in the summer.
In the winter merlino wool is an option as is quilted, insulated options.
As for men, I am seeing more and more men sporting both skirts and kilts on the trail. I think this is a trend that will continue and I think it is great.
I know there is no shortage of opinions so here is one more. The skirt is not a gender specific garment. I understand most men will choose from an incredibly limited selection in the Kilt options. But they are very few with little choice.
That being said with skirts there are literally thousands of styles, colors and sizes already available that are marketed for woman.
As I said a skirt is not gender specific and therefore can be worn by a man. The right skirt on the right guy looks just as great on them as they do on us.
So go for it. It's just a skirt.
Today it is totally acceptable for a woman to wear any article of clothing that a man wears. A skirt should be an option that any man can enjoy for the very reason we wear skirts. Because we simply like to.

What's Old Is New Again

Way to go Lisa. I'm with you. Men have worn skirts for thousands of years. Somehow along the way they became taboo for western men. I think it's slowly changing to where I see it more often in running sports and hiking especially on the Appalachian Trail. Skirts just make so much sense for women and men. Much cooler in the summer than shorts. Hey it took 50 years for women to go completely mainstream in pants. Imagine that.

Not just for the ladies!

Hiking kilts for men offer the same advantages that women's hiking skirts do,
including ventilation and freedom of movement.

Mountain Hardware makes a trail worthy kilt in a weather resistant fabric,
providing moisture wicking as well as modesty.

It has way more pockets than my hiking skirt! (she said in a wistful tone)

And I'm not the first woman to notice that a man in a kilt is worth a second look.

Just sayin'

Must get a photo sometime. I wouldn't entertain a skirt with built-in shorts or one that is a pair of shorts with a front panel that looks like shorts from the back and a skirt from the front.
