I don't know why I like them so much but I do. A few companies like cj Banks made some good ones. Good fit, good pockets, and no Fem frills or holes, or designer nightmares.

Ok so the rolled cuff shorts quest took me to target.
The store was rather busy so I couldn't do a fine tooth search for them. I started to get nervous about being in the busy women's section. ( By the way Target womens section takes up approximately 3/4 of the adult clothing area.)

So I might have easily overlooked the shorts.

I did see what seemed like a increase in the number of skirts available for sale.
Infact I saw at two that I considered try on worthy.

I grabbed a denim knee length skirt, to try on. The other one, they didn't have in my size.
On the the way to the changing room I had a second guessing.
Busy store, skirt is 28 dollars, I have 3 or 4 skirts that are very similar in design.

So I decided to put it back. I don't believe in just leaving stuff at changing areas or just randomly in the store.

On the way back to the skirt racks the idea hit me to put the skirt in the men's department.
It's not a totally new Idea I have done it a few times in the last 20 years of skirt shopping at resale shops.

So I did, I found a rack with some similar colored and sized men's shorts and hung the skirt in with them.

I'm curious to know if anyone else has done something similar, put skirts in a men's area?

And overall thoughts of planting skirts in the men's department.

I'm considering doing this more regularly, planting one or two entry level skirts in with the men's shorts.
Often enough to perhaps be a inconvenience for the store, but hopefully not enough to be an annoyance.

I kind of wonder what the "thing" would be about this. Long nightshirts have been around for hundreds of years as unisex garments. Maybe the guys were just stupid.

I wouldn't wear one myself (I sleep naked), but wouldn't consider them to be female in any way.

You only have to look at any of the A Christmas Carol films to see Scrooge in his.

Yea here is a link to it. The night shirts comments

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/arti ... hread.html

Now see I have NO problem wearing something like that, infact I wore men's night shirts before my skirting days ever started. I wonder if the night shirts is was a contributing factor in me trying skirts just a few years later as a teen?

I'm surprised how many people (men) run from something such as a night shirt. They are rather comfortable.
Is the man card/masculinity so fragile that It is utterly revoked/ destroyed for wearing a long tubular shirt??

Male genitals are attached quite well, one doesn't need to wear trousers to keep them from falling off.

Come on guys ( the ones in the prank and reaction page) it's a night shirt not a Disney princess costume.

I have 3 or 4 men's night shirts now in my closet now. Plaid flannel ones. Great for cool weather that is coming to the northern hemisphere.

More likely to be an annoyance than tempt a convert I'm afraid!
Also it is quite likely that your actions may be caught on camera.
Given your first statement, the nervousness will show and attract attention to you, the result could be embarrassing!
Does rather appeal to my warped sense of humour though.

A few posters showing youngish men looking quite normal wearing 'ordinary' skirts in everyday leisure settings, without all the silly catwalk posing, might succeed in convincing enough men (and their wives) to start the snowball rolling.

I do indeed. I've seen a number of reviews or even customer photos on e-mail marketing lately where they've had a skirted man showing off the product.
