"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !

Re: International SKIRT Day
Everyday in my world too.
I was told by a female colleague today that she couldn't imagine me wearing trousers.
Accepted as compliment too.

Re: International SKIRT Day
I like that they clearly say:
How to Celebrate International Skirt Day
Pretty simple, as you might imagine! Male or female, dig into your wardrobe (or your partner’s!) and find a skirt to wear, and go about your day adorned in it.

Re: International SKIRT Day
It also coincides with National Bagpipes Day, National Pack Your Lunch Day and National Wig Day. I am sure that some will be able to combine at least 2 celebrations.
I will dig out something special.

As much as i'd love to participate, work will not permit it. As far as the other things on this day, I can do 3 of them. Sorry no Bagpipes

Re: International SKIRT Day
Skirt Day, it appears that there enough "Days" in March to send the hare beyond madness.
Today, is International Dress day so that settles on point for me anyway, but which?
All very silly but we need that too!

Re: International SKIRT Day
Forecast here for 10 March is 3-13C, so f**king cold. I don't really have any skirts suitable for that kind of weather.

Re: International SKIRT Day
Put something on underneath that skirt - at least keep the outward appearance up to our skirtcafe standards - LOL !

Re: International SKIRT Day
Wear tights or stockings, you can also wear half slips to add warmth. Wear longer skirts. There is no need to be cold. I have be in Colorado in -5F with just a skirt and no slip the skirt I wore was ankle length and did a wonderful job of keeping me warm.rode_kater wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 1:09 pm Forecast here for 10 March is 3-13C, so f**king cold.

Re: International SKIRT Day
you will be alright, I live in Colorado and wear my skorts hiking 14ers in my hiking skirts. I've been wearing my skirts every day all winter with temps down to 1*F without being cold. I do wear knee length wool socks when its that cold.

3-!3C isn't terribly cold I'm afraid to say.rode_kater wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 1:09 pm Forecast here for 10 March is 3-13C, so f**king cold. I don't really have any skirts suitable for that kind of weather.
-13-3C would be a different story but tights and underskirts really insulate.
Forecast here is a high of 8C and windy, I had intended wearing a flared skirt and may still do.
Just need to wear a long coat on top.

Re: International SKIRT Day
I know what you mean, I've got the leggings, that's not the problem. My problem is more that because it's winter I wear a coat and that adds a lot to the top-half, which for me produces a very unbalanced look. It might work if I paired it with a long skirt, but all the long skirts I have are basically, t-shirt material or thinner. And longer skirts are annoying on a bike if you don't have a low frame.Fred in Skirts wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 6:51 pmWear tights or stockings, you can also wear half slips to add warmth.

Women tend to have more tailored and longer coats to combat this problem.
I actually went to the second-hand store last week to see if I could get something appropriate and I get the impression they've been cleared of every item that had any thickness at all. Probably related to the events happening to the east of here.

Re: International SKIRT Day
I think that such weather is too cold maybe for equatorial countries (or in the summer season).rode_kater wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 1:09 pm Forecast here for 10 March is 3-13C, so f**king cold. I don't really have any skirts suitable for that kind of weather.
It was about -8°C this mornig here (fortunatelly windlessness), it's relatively normal in this season in the Central Europe. I wore a long brown skirt.

Re: International SKIRT Day
To keep warm in cold weather simply wear petticoats. I always do and it works a treat.

Re: International SKIRT Day
Indeed, long heavy skirts paired with petticoats indeed work the trick and I've got rigs I'm perfectly happy in down to -5 or -10 Fahrenheit.
