My opinion on that is not suitable for this venue.

Which venue would it be suitable for?
Steve,

It's a fashion item, no more or less bizarre than many others.
It is all a matter of taste for better or worse.
Sometimes it is worth being different just for it's own sake.
Steve

WHY?

I wouldn't pay £30 for a pair of jeans or trousers either, never mind for a skirt. Where do you all get the money from, paying such prices?

It is all relative and a matter of ones own choice/budget.
Steve.

By all means, spend your hard earned cash on one of these if you wish.
Just do not have any illusions that they are of "best" quality as compared to a traditionally made Kilt.
Pay your money, take your chance.

I'd wager that you thought that yours was a straight question.
Welcome to the Café!

Hi Coder, Depending on your local community it is likely to be when your folks become aware not if. Get in there as soon as you feel able and show or tell on your terms. When I was at your stage I used a combination of photos, poetry and display. Most receptions were positive apart from my Daughter ...

Hi Alastair
There are some interesting pieces in there but those prices are a tad restrictive.
The female side is doing to be the better option for a while yet.
I got a new dress from Next for £15 last week.
I hadn't heard of it either.
Steve.

Wearable stuff in there certainly but the prices, ouch
Still better value to be had from the female departments,
Steve
Didn't think this had posted, oops!

Aaaah, "normal" is a much overrated condition in which I hope I never find myself. Today was thankfully abnormal. I was wished a hearty Happy New Year by a Nun. She also complimented me on my choice of habit and I naturally reciprocated. Made a dull day brighter and has started my year off very nice...

is one not meant to be wearing a skirt before entering such places?
Steve.

Had you not noticed the Scots are generally dour sods?
That comes from climate, religion and clothing.
Steve.

Positive for the Kilt but not entirely advisable for the Scottish hills in winter. In dry cold weather ok but when it is wet and windy some back up would be required. It would be interesting to get an opinion from a mountain rescue team on the subject. I didn't watch the whole clip so if this came u...

Quite a few look like ordinary people out in the street, not models. Gods, no 11, the "professorial" looks around my vintage. Our street styles have a wee similarity too and I'm not a model/celeb/singer/dancer Etc. The fashion runway has always been about extremes to make an outrageous statement fo...

I am about to get dressed to go to work.
Last time I checked I was of the male persuasion.
I will be wearing a skirt.
Will it magically become a "MAN SKIRT"?
Er, no it won't, clothes do not have GENDER!
Steve.
