I remember seeing these when I lived in Sweden. Blåkläder means "blue clothes" and their stuff is sold in some national chains of DIY stores including Jula. I have some of their work trousers

Alternative name for men's skirts? How about:

ANTIPANTS

I've been on the lookout for a plain, knee-length blue denim skirt for some time. I bought my last one about three years ago from Marks and Spencer where it was in a sale, knocked down from £19.99 to just £10. Since then, the standard style has become harder to find as women seem to prefer either a ...

It has now been nearly a year since I initiated this thread with: Am I imagining it, or has the progress to accept men wearing skirt stalled? We don't seem to be hearing much about it in the media these days, even among fashionistas and there are few stories in the press relating to it. Is this a te...

My thoughts exactly.

My brother's son is studying philosophy at Cambridge University - and both he and his dad like to tell people that - but my brother related a funny story which I would like to share. On Wednesday of this week, my brother was mowing his front lawn which my nephew was sitting at a garden table reading...

With the exception of the pink swimming top, I don't see much that I would consider feminine in the other tee-shirts. Can't boys like hearts or kittens? Of not, why not? And what's the problem with boys having glitter on their tee-shirts? Many twins like to dress identically and there is no reason w...

A question for American members on here. There's an elderly couple, Tony and Evelyn, who live in a farmhouse just on the edge of my village. They are well into their 80s but spritely and financially comfortable so far as I know. They had a new neighbour, Kim, ast year who rented a tiny house nearby....

I'd just say it is plain stupid and utterly pointless.

Sorry for being dense, Steve, but what is "plain stupid and utterly pointless"?

KILT and SKIRT enjoy a semantic relationship in the same way as RAPIER and SWORD, or LIZARD and REPTILE, or BOURBON and WHISKY

The relationship is called "hyponymy".

A female acquaintance of my wife has been trying to manage a condition called "atopic eczema" for some years. This flares up especially in very warm or very cold weather and it involves a crusty rash from her midriff to her thighs. She has been told to apply an ointment twice daily when it...

"Meet Rachel, 36. She shares how her son’s love for dresses opened her eyes to the meaning of parenting." “I never thought twice about my son’s clothes—until he started choosing dresses. I assumed it was a phase, just an innocent curiosity. But when he kept reaching for the sparkly skirts ...

What he will discover is that it's basically a long shirt - long enough he can wear it without trousers or shorts. Why is such a fuss made about such a simple garment?

have they considered a similar garment that would serve the same purpose such as a kaftan? Those are completely acceptable men's wear and generally don't carry the same social stigma that a typical "girls dress" might. True, but have you ever seen any kaftans for small boys? And should he...

1) Society expects men/boys to dress a certain way - and therefore we can't "escape" those confines without being looked at as strange or at least eccentric Isn't that what we are challenging on here? 2) She can't and obviously shouldn't force her son to wear dresses even if that's "...
