Not a fan of the petticoat, but what really weirds me out is the golf shirt under the tailored blazer...seems like a strange combo.

It's definitely better than the stubble from shaving.

I used to shave my legs when I did a lot of cycling and in-line skating, just because road rash from a fall was so much worse with hair and it felt better under lycra shorts. Aesthetically, I don't really bother these days, my legs are usually tan enough from being outside that the hair isn't a star...

Went for a 2.5 mile walk in town along the rail-to-trail path, wearing one of my SportKilt hiking kilts. It's blue and shorter than the standard male length, above the knee a bit. This couple passed in the opposite direction while saying "good morning" (as is custom on this trail) and thei...

I don't correct people if they've made the effort to comment to a stranger, unless they're being obnoxious about something: then I just ignore them. Being friendly about it can start some interesting conversations and maybe even encourage someone else to try the MIS experience.

...complicated by me often riding a recumbent bike which naturally exposes a bit more. Now that is quite a challenge. Perhaps a skirt with enough flare at the hem to apply a clothes peg between the legs or tuck it under (the skirt!) and sit on it. I've tried various things, like a fabric clamp in t...

Anywhere just above the knee up to where my fingertips are when my arms are at my sides is my preferred length. I'll go a bit shorter in winter with leggings though. Longer skirts just don't feel as masculine to me when I try one on in the mirror.

My favorite is a skirt intended for women to put on over cycling shorts after dismounting, to enter a shop, restaurant, etc. I just wear it as a skirt. It has an off-center vent in front, which leaves a panel free to drop between my legs as I ride -- that one is perfectly modest. Do you have any mo...

The Mrs and I walked on an Atlantic ocean beach in north-east Florida yesterday morning. She was wearing a dress and I was wearing a t-shirt and a brown Purple Rain hiking skirt. Everyone acted like it was totally normal: we chatted with people as we walked, everyone was friendly, a woman walking he...

Ah yes, grew up in the mid-70s...our jeans when worn out would get cut off to be our shorts. Buying shorts? We didn't have the money for that. They were generally on the very short side but that was normal. The required gym class shorts were the same length for boys and girls, maybe 1" inseam. ...

Monday morning I took my wife to a doctor's appointment and by chance we happened to both be wearing skirts. Mine was a rather ordinary black denim one from Duluth, a little above the knee. We have the same doctor and while she was in with him, I was in the waiting room and did go up to ask about a ...

How cool is that! I would have been beaming from ear to ear after an interaction like that.

I definitely want to find a longer hockey sweater (jersey) that I can wear as a sort of shirt dress. Being really tall makes it somewhat difficult. I hadn't considered a normal jersey + a short skirt as an alternative, but I'll have to give that a try.

Skirts can definitely be more practical for things like that. I'm having a medical issue now where it's uncomfortable to wear tighter fitting things around my groin and skirts are a blessing, while I await being able to have surgery. FWIW, I'm "at that age" where we start getting prostate ...

I'm going to be spending a week RV camping through parts of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, and the FL Panhandle very soon and I really don't want to wear pants the whole damn time but I'm apprehensive. So I did my trip last week, and packed a hiking kilt and a few skirts, but I stuck t...
