Re: Are Skorts Going Mainstream in Menswear?

This is exactly what I've been doing! The cycling shorts are practical for exercise but wearing shorts over them just traps heat and sweat. A skirt over is much nicer both visually and for comfort.

Re: What have you discovered through wearing skirts and dresses?

Agreed with most of the answers here, especially the breezy part and liking the interactions with the fabric. I'll sometimes grasp a bit of it around the outside of my thigh when standing and thinking over something, it's quite comforting in a way. The main thing is realizing I have choices...rather...

Re: When you're asked why do you wear skirts?

Rude answer: "ball room" :lol: Polite answer: "They're comfy AF" / "Why not?" 8) My wife's answer: "You're just lucky he's wearing anything at all." :lol: That noted - I wear mostly mini kilts (14-16 inch hem length) and skirts with pleated tartan plaid patter...

A state case maybe, instead of a federal one. :lol:

It's good to see some pointlessly gendered things being treated as such, at an rate.

My few local Costco opticals don't have them divided by gender, just by style and designer, it's quite nice.

Re: My slip is showing!

For a few years now I've been using cotton "T-shirt extenders" as an alternative to a slip. (just pop that phrase into your favorite search engine) They're designed to be worn as a layering piece but if you wear them low they function quite nicely as a slip. They are thicker and more funct...

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large

Spent a few days in Mickey Mouse world as a mid-week get away with the Mrs, and I only packed a few utility kilts to wear to remove the "should I or shouldn't I" anxiety that sometimes crops up when deciding what to wear. My main complaint with kilts is that they tend to stand out a bit ra...

Re: That rare male compliment

I was wearing a tartan utility kilt at a Disney theme park a few mornings ago. As we were making our way back to the bus stop my wife stopped to use the facilities and I was waiting along a patch of wall just checking my phone. A guy walking by just said "that is a really awesome kilt, my man!&...

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large

I was tending to an ornamental flower garden out by the street yesterday, and one of my almost-neighbors passed by walking his dog and came up to me to chat. I was wearing a black pleated utility kilt that was a little above knee-length. Up until this time we'd only exchanged a polite wave of the ha...

Re: Video and commentary on skirts doesn't leave men out.

you could say the same for us but it’s not in the same ballpark (so to speak). I see what you did there! :lol: But yes, men should have the same social acceptance to dress comfortably and stylishly as women. We need to reclaim our biological identity as the roosters of our species (at least once in...

We just need a deepfake video montage of a certain controversial presidential candidate wearing golf skirts out on the course... :lol:

I recall talking about her book somewhere 'round these parts, it was a good read of recent fashion history as it relates to skirts and dresses.

Re: Overall skirts

I don't have any advice, but this reminded me that I used to wear overalls when I was a kid on the farm and they were so comfortable. I kinda would love to wear a skirt-all sometime but I suspect it would be a bridge too far for my wife. I think finding a proper fit would also be tough because I'm r...

Re: Air travel ensemble?

Looks comfortable for travel! I've gotten so I really hate wearing anything but a skirt if I'm travelling or sitting for longer than half an hour.

Re: bike riding

Side note --- Lady Godiva did not ride a bike careful if you do it that way ! I've been known to ride a la the good Lady out in the forest trails when conditions permit, but not often. 8) We did a 40km ride yesterday and I wore shorts, sadly. I vowed to try the skirt next time. I did see one woman ...
