Perhaps unishort as it doesn't come as a pair.

Whether it is a skirt or skirts it is the same one hole construction - - -
Now as for pants - it is the basic twin hole construction - one does not go out in a pant with one hole construction unless that one hole is large enough for the entire waist ?
But what is this a pant with one hole construction is that not a skirt (or dress by some other convention) ?
"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 !

I was at the shore with my wife’s family this past summer. My sister in law says to me. “What are those, crotchless shorts?”

I was wearing a purple rain skirt with a snap on the bottom. 🤪

That’s awesome! After you said that, did she have any other comments about the “crotchless” shorts?

I bought one of those a few years ago as a first step into skirt-wearing, thinking it would be a discreet gateway garment for the beginner. But in practice the centre fastening always looked awkward to me, and I found I much preferred it in plain wrap-around mode.

I bought the kilt first but then I ended up buying and really liking the regular skirts. They put a modesty snap (same type of snap as the kilts) in the middle of the bottom of the skirt and they look like shorts to most people. I have worn these things everywhere. That is what my sister in law called crotchless shorts. The kilt looks better without the snaps done.

It was a great opening, I know! But I changed the subject or didn't reply. She is the type to ask tons of questions and why! So I didn't need a potential line of questioning in front of lots of people while waiting to go on a tour boat. Now my other sister in law who is an artist said something about my lighthearted skirt I had snapped in the front a few weeks earlier and I showed her the snap on it and sent her the link to get them since she likes to hike, she had no problem with me wearing it. I called it a kilt.

We had people over last night and I was wearing a black/gray hiking sports kilt. These are close friends who’ve seen me in a kilt before. There was some talk and I was asked about my outfit. I wore a linen shirt, gray socks and black adidas soccer shoes. My wife didn’t like the show combo but they all liked the linen top. I could have used it as a great opening as well. To ask more about how to style such a combo, but didn’t. Oh well. It was a great night.

Lightheart gear skirts (er kilts!) are great. I have worn them out a bit but usually snapped. Did wear one in a foreign city all day. So comfortable for hiking. Love the fact that these skirts/hikingkilts never restrict movement like shorts or pants do
