Re: Non-Binary Models in Fashion

Mr seamstress NB models have been around for a while now on catwalk or runways but I'm not seeing an influence or connection with people who have jobs in offices and building sites etc. Isn't the catwalk there to exposé the future fashion? Designs are picked, made and sold in expensive boutiques and...

Re: skirts for men

Davesbrand is OK and paints a manly look for acceptable skirt wearing. It's a front runner in making a breakthrough for MIS. That said they are a bit bland and samey. I don't accept dull and lifeless look as being for men and everything else for women. I have bought a lot of skirts and some of them ...

Re: Normal tights - Letting the side down?

I have been running an experiment recently. In the warmer weather I decided that 40d stockings were too thick, so I tried 15d stockings only to find the range of colours was limited and the ones I could get didn't seem to last very long. So when I was in my local Tescos I had another look at what w...

Re: Trump was shot!

Try not to spend too much time mulling over things you can't control. Make your forecast of what will happen and act on that in the interests you and your family. It's all you can do.

Good luck to you and all the decent people that the greedy rely on.

Re: Clothes shops

Steve, when people are truly free they take advantage of their freedom. You see it in their actions. If the freedom offered is full of traps and pitfalls they won't dare venture into the minefield. That sort of freedom is not truly free, it is a prison without bars. It pisses me off that men strut a...

Re: Clothes shops

A lot may have lost interest in clothes, because of the Great Renunciation. We are making this renunciation thingy sound like some great conspiracy to deprive men of the freedom to dress as they please. It really wasn't so let's remember that because the vast majority of men today wouldn't even hav...

Re: skirts for men

I personally think that there should be a men’s skirt category with some distinct differences in the skirt styles. Most women’s skirts tend to be narrow, and therefore tricky to sin in, unless you go for a circle skirt or a ladies’ wrap. That however has its own issues like lack of pockets, being m...

Re: Clothes shops

It's a nonsense to say men aren't interested in clothes. For centuries men have been massively into clothes. I said a lot of men are not interested in clothes. I didn’t say all men are not interested. There are men who are into clothes but it’s more a thing women are interested in. Just comparing t...

Re: Clothes shops

This is my opinion but I think a lot of men really aren’t interested in clothes apart from men like us on the skirt cafe forum. I was chatting to a guy at my local music store and told him about the lack of men’s clothes when I visited the newly opened M&S and he told me he only buys clothes on...

Re: UK Parliament Speaker requiring ties...

After watching to a short film by Anne Widdecombe about the 'war on men' I was incensed. Anne is, btw, fighting for men in this instance. She was talking about the 'gender pay gap" which is something I don't pay much attention to because in the construction industry I have never heard any women...

Re: Clothes shops

Blame the Great Male Renunciation that started about 1750 that dictates men are to wear dull functional clothes. Look at animals, particularly birds where the male is flashier than the female, such as peacocks, cardinals, mallards, etc. In my opinion, the dull functional clothing men are expected t...

Re: Leggings

I have always thought of leggings as thick tights, where the thickness gives the user the option of not wearing a skirt to cover the interesting bits. Whether the garment covers the foot, or there is just a loop under the foot, or nothing, is just a detail of a particular pair. Years ago I had a pa...

Re: Overly Flamboyant Outfits Detrimental to Mainstreaming MIS?

Generally, the word "skirt" will be assumed to be a label for a female garment. Labels, what are they really? What about LGBTQ ? Lesbian, gay, bi, trans and queer. There's nothing wrong with being anyone of those 'labels'. Call me anything you want that's up to you, it doesn't change who ...

Yep they are all here posting away and if they saying anything about anything other than super straight MIS there's gasps all around like somebody wee'd on the strawberries. Not from me. I don't care what other people do or how they live their life. But it's always been this way and probably always...
