Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.

I find this quite satisfactory, and since knees have fewer cold-sensitive nerve endings than other parts of the legs, there is no problem even in chilly conditions. For me (only somewhat traditionalist) as for the die-hards of the kilt police sticking to Victorian era standards, covering the knees just does not look right.

I like knee socks with my skirts and kilts. A pair of thick socks make my skinny legs look a bit heavier. I've also found that, since my skirts are kilt length (24in.),are often mistaken for kilts. I've even worn a sporran with them to complete the illusion.
A short while after I started wearing skirts, actually, about the time it started to get cool in October and I was wearing shoes more often (as opposed to sandals) I began wearing nothing but black ankle socks, the lowest cut I could find. Mainly because I wanted as little sock showing as possible, but I can't stand wearing shoes without socks.
I now wear them all of the time, even while working and wearing trousers.

I don't worry about my slim legs in a mini skirt but the wife and daughter get very jealous of them. I find with a mini skirt or perhaps any skirt for me I'm best off with no socks.
