Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.

He certainly seems to be an extrovert.
Bit of an understatement, but that guy cares alright.
He certainly appears to be making damn sure he gets maximum attention.
He's having fun and doing no harm, even spreading a little joy.
Maybe the world needs more like him.
I agree with you Stevie. With his disguisement and his dance, he was definitely looking for attention and trying to amuse people. The pose he takes at the end for a photo goes in that sense.
Good on him for that, it was a success!

I'm not much on the minis but sometimes I think about slipping on a long boho and busting a move on the sidewalks of Seattle.
Back east, lacking any large cities within a reasonable distance I often wondered about doing this on an interstate overpass.
Truth is.. I doubt I'll ever work up that kind of nerve, but it's still fun to think about.
I'm more comfortable in London than I am in Reading. Just stick to the centre.of Seattle.
My son wore pink and red nail varnish to school the other day. I waited for the fallout (my conditioning kicking in). His mates said he would look better in black and green. The girls paid him complements.
My answer: Why not

The question: When asked why do you wear skirts
My answer: Why not

Perhaps we need a thread "Silly reasons why men should NOT wear skrts" ............ because I can't think of a sensible reason why not.
My name is Anthony, please accept me for the person that I am.

Why don't men wear skirts? Because men don't wear skirts. Circular logic, of course, but it's what always gets trotted out...

When that is quoted to me I agree and add ".... but they can"

Simply put --- "Because I can" !
Shocking statement that may or may not continue the conversation with more discussion of the serious merits of wearing the skirt.
No dresses for me.
That noted - I wear mostly mini kilts (14-16 inch hem length) and skirts with pleated tartan plaid patterns.
One must of course practice the usual protocol of modesty when wearing any short hemmed garment least the discussion go awry
with controversial overtones.
"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !
Rude answer: "ball room"
Polite answer: "They're comfy AF" / "Why not?"

I'm working on my comfort level with the shorter kilts because I do like them and I like the way they look, but I'm not quite there. I think as I've lost weight I'm feeling better about them.
