Pleated Skirts

Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

Out of them all, I would wear only the leather one.

I like all of them, but the colour of the light blue / green leather skirt is not my colour, the model is very nice. The leather skirt is possibly not very suitable for men, as it has a predominant women's hour glass model to it, which will stick out on most men.

I have a skirt similar to the jeans mini, with the rough underside.

In answer to why I like the leather one only is just a matter of aesthetics. The other skirts look like ones I see celebutards like Lindsy Lohan wear. They are way too short for most if not all people (at least they look it). The leather one looks smooth, looks like with a little work it will fit nicely, whearas the other pleated skirts looked like they would flip up with the slightest breeze showing off what I wear under my hose:)

The hem on one just looks like someone ruined a longer skirt.

While I agree wholeheartedly, that comment would make my mother smile, it's exactly what she'd say :D

Have fun,

Hi,
My local shops are in UK, not Canada or US, and I only posted the pics for people here to see what else is available. I wanted to buy a leather skirt from a US company, but the clowns didn't want to sell outside US. Their loss.

You could always try Midas clothing.com of Manchester, England.. They produce some pleated skirts in men's sizes.

Bro' Gregg! You like skirts that are pretty short, to my eye. If you wear those regularly, then you're a better man than I, Gunga Din!
