For high quality tights at good prices it is hard to beat TK Maxx. As long as you only want black. One day when shops are open again ....

I really don't think the contrast between men's clothing rights and the inequality experienced by women are on a par. Despite the advances made by feminism women are still much more poorly paid and treated in a patronising manner )or worse) by some men. Puts clothing into perspective. I would be war...

It is not my friends and colleagues I worry about. They would be fine. The thing is I do other stuff with my life that I want to be remembered for - I don't want that diluted by the "guy in the skirt" reputation. I wear skirts in public but only where I am unlikely to be recognised. I am also a cros...

Haven't opened the link. Can I just make a plea. It is NOT Auld Lang Zyne. It is hard s. Syne.

I was in a Highland town yesterday in very cold weather. I went into one of my favourite boutiques and though the usual owner was not there she was happy for me to try on dresses. I bought a dress and a skirt, then she noticed that I was no longer wearing the trousers I had on when I came in, but a ...

The Liberal Democrats are not the third party. They are the fourth, and have been since the previous election. When the Scots vote for parties that are clear about wanting a referendum on independence, then win rather more decisively than the Bounder Boris, and he says no, we no longer live in a dem...

Eddie Izzard is about to enter politics. He has said he would attend Parliament in a skirt - he would wear the type of clothes women MPs were wearing. Unfortunately I don't think he is standing in this election.

I think the advantage is in wearing a shorter skirt in wet weather. Your tights get wet and possibly muddy but they are easy to wash compared with trousers or a skirt.

I do full crossdressing as well as wearing skirts as a man. I don't identify as a woman when I am in full fig and I aspire to elegance rather than being pretty. The husband of a female friend described me to her (out of my hearing) as pretty which I think was a compliment - I think he had been expec...

Obviously the comfort. I like to look good too, and I am sure I look better in a skirt than in trousers. I have great legs which I keep hair free and unless it is very hot I wear tights. I also wear heels to accentuate the legs. It is great to go out on a breezy summer day with bare legs and a billo...

As well as being a normal man in skirts I am a crossdresser. I was staying in a hotel in the Scottish countryside for a couple of days completely dressed as a woman. On my final morning I noticed that a few bikers had parked outside so I decided to postpone my departure until after they left. It tur...

I have no problem with the principle of this. Someone I know changed gender and I would never dream of misgendering her but I still thought of her as him, and was fearful of saying the wrong pronoun out loud - I don't think I ever have. Calling someone it is just wrong. The French thing is a lost ca...

Another boost for the dressmaker option here. I got involved in this first from getting clothes altered. I had skirts that were slightly too long and got them shortened to my preferred length of 21" - I hate anything between 21 and 34" - it has to be long or short. I eventually settled on one about ...

I keep seeing men in shorts and tights, something that would have raised eyebrows ten years ago. This garb is now regarded as normal - no one reacts. Importantly, the men wearing these tights think they are doing something normal and not breaking any taboos. Then, when you think about it, when we we...

As a Scot I think we get far too uptight about this. A kilt is a type of skirt. Gender has nothing to do with the definition but a traditional heavy kilt tends to be worn by men. Only it isn't really much of a tradition - it is a modern invention in its current form. And modern tartans were thought ...
