I know, Pythos . . . I know.ChristopherJ, the stlye looks good. I like. Only buggaboo for me is the white trainers.
No, it doesn't, and it never has. It's a "look' that's evolved because women have been required to wear silly shoes that don't work properly for everyday (i.e. I can walk in them to get from point "A" to point "B" without tottering) wear. Whilst I agree that the look is positively ghastly, I cannot for an instant fault the ladies for adopting it. But that does not necessarily excuse us lot (blokes) from committing a faux pas.Women can wear trainers with a short skirt and it looks alright [...]
It may come as cold comfort, but I suspect that we shouldn't tied to the same standards as our lady friends. And, even if we were, the "heroin chic" of Kate Moss (and imitators) should put pay to the notion that slab-sidedness (a male normal) can't be "fashionable". I see no reason why skirts cannot work on even the most "drainpipe-shaped" physiques.[...]but my legs are too skinny to get away with that so I tried to wear some thick socks to break up the leg line - but it didn't work very well.
Yes, that's a problem at the moment. I also have no answers to the conundrum. Personally, I just wear the same shoes under a skirt that I would wear under trousers. (It's easier, and cheaper, that way.)I think that shoes are the biggest problem for men who wear skirts - it is just so hard to get it right.
Me too. And for me that means trainers - I have 7 or 8 pairs. But they don't really look right with a short skirt - although they look absolutely horrific with a long skirt - in my opinion.Personally, I just wear the same shoes under a skirt that I would wear under trousers.
I suppose it all depends on context. I'm a cheap bastard (I make no bones about that), and have one pair of shoes that I wear every day, and I wear 'em until they're no longer servicable (Sapphire, I'm sure will be happy to provide additional fodder on this theme ); I also wear 'em under both trousers and skirts. They seem to work.Me too. And for me that means trainers - I have 7 or 8 pairs.Personally, I just wear the same shoes under a skirt that I would wear under trousers.
How 'bout light coloured trainers with the textured legwear? That might actually work reasonably well.... You never know -- that's what mirrors are for (or digi-cams if you don't have access to a full-length mirror).I will continue to wear trainers with a skirt sometimes. But not often. And I will try and stick to black trainers with dark leggings.
