Believe it or not, I was sitting outside a Pub in down-town North East London, a delightful but a bit scruffy cosmopolitan suburb called Dalston. Dalston is on the up because a couple of years ago London Transport introduced a new train service into the area, called Overground. It is a bit odd as ab...

I am still a relative newcomer to this forum having contributed to a few threads, only 25+ posts. Not really got the time to peruse in depth! One contributor has suggested as slip, or underskirt. Obtaining one seems to be the problem; as a big framed person, my skirt size ranges from a loose 22 to a...

A plain skirt is more masculine, but think of Eddie Izzard in his early days. OK he's gay, often made up, but you accept him as he is. And then there was Boy George, etc.,etc. If this is their scene, but not yours so you go your way ...... I would not go out in anything but a plain skirt and stockin...

Invariably I wear classic stockings, not hold ups, with a suspender belt. For readers west of the Atlantic, Garter Belt. I have got used to wearing stockings and suspenders with my skirts, I can't cope cope with tights even though others can. I wear light coloured stockings in summer, and darker one...

It is not so difficult to work out your size, and you have had some useful replies from regular contributors. Take a tailor's tape measure with you, and if your partner likes your yearning to wear a dress, take her with you. Start with a plain colour that suits you, avoid flowers and fussy patterns ...

Well Caultron, those photos makes my straight black skirt and stockings look so normal. It is very hot here in the UK at the moment, not quite as hot as Arizona! But pretty bloody hot for London. Wear what you feel good in. I do not have time to chip in to Skirt Cafe all that often, but I am so reli...

Ah but my cr-friend, my doctors have told me not to cross my legs at the thigh or ankles as I have a scoliosis and sciatic nerve problems - get the picture .....
So, as I said, it is remembering to sit carefully which I do .....
It's getting out of the car that is sometimes awkward ....

I have taken to wearing my skirt and stockings out for several years now, and find no problems here in the UK. The difference here is that we have station platforms that are about 3ft (970cm) off the ground so it is a relatively easy to board a train here in London. But I am more concerned about whe...

Yes Nick, thanks for personal msg. The internet and e-bay are helpful for stockings, but having just purchased some very expensive italian Transparenze stockings, they are fine when I put them on, come right up and fit beautifully; after an hour of sitting down, getting in and out of the car, etc., ...

So much for 'Meggings' and 'Mights'. Real men keep a little air circulating up there where it matters, so I'm sticking to my skirt, stockings and suspenders. I'm treating myself to some winter grade 70 - 100 denier stockings to keep a bit warmer, but also for a laugh a couple of pairs of Italian 20 ...

Hi 'Knickerless'! Does your tag assume you go commando much of the time! Risky? How do your locals react to your skirts in Downtown Thamesdown! Attitudes have changed a lot here in sunny Crouch End, other side of Haringey from Tottenham. When in the mood I like wearing knickers over my suspenders, j...

Good try with ASDA. I actually found a number of skirts in George at ASDA, and the reason why is they go up to 22 or 24, or occasionally I needed a 26. These are of course the women's size, but they looked fine. Varies by the season. The thing I have hassled the retailers about is stockings. The big...

Your situation is very unfortunate. Women can wear mens clothes, no one bats an eyelid at an attractive woman in a pinsripe suit tie and braces, now a fashion item for the girls! I can understand it if you went out in a fancy femine dress, but as you will see from this forum, there are quite a few o...

It is very useful to know where a man can get realistically priced skirts or kilts. Looking at the Utilikilt site, they are superb but a nice price too. Here in the UK, it is not easy, but most of mine came from ASDA, thats the British supermarket chain owned by WalMart, which I dislike but needs mu...

Yes, it is finally getting over that hurdle; I want to wear a skirt (and usually stockings) and there is undoubtedly something 'different'. I can't fully explain it, but it is sensual in the way it 'touches', rubs, brushes against different parts of your body. Unlike some, my conversion to a skirt, ...
