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.
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.
At least it was just the camera lens and not the
entire camera. Your camera body must be made
out of stout stuff

When asked 'Why the Kilt?'
I respond-The why is F.T.H.O.I. (For The H--- Of It)
Absolutely you look great in that dress! It’s a beautiful dress, it’s flattering and you strike great poses. Get out of your own way!

Social norms aren't changed by Congress or Parliament; they're changed by a sufficient number of people ignoring the existing ones and publicly practicing new ones.

We think that men can look good in dress and still maintain masculinity. What are your thoughts on this topic?

My thoughts are that I am jealous of your wardrobe.
The only "masculinity" distinction I make for myself anymore is not wearing things that are specifically and obviously designed to accommodate or accentuate parts that I don't possess because I am not female. Flowers, dots, bare shoulders, whatever, are all fine.
As for what others make of my masculinity or lack thereof, well, they are welcome to test their ideas with me.

I've worn a few dresses that I have felt like I looked OK in... This one got me quite a few compliments: https://joeypress.files.wordpress.com/2 ... uster2.jpg (Image only)
I often feel awkward in a dress, and likewise, I feel excellent in one. It is a cross of "Is this too far?!?" mixed with, "Oh, YEAH! I go this far!!".

You look fine in that rig. The shoes go well with it too. This was a bit of an education for me: discovering how much the legs and feet supported the look above them. Fortunately I adjusted to heels quite well, which expands my choices considerably.
I totally relate to "is this too far" versus "oh yeah, I go this far!" Life is more fun in the latter zone.

I think you have a well balanced look going on there. personally I think the extra touches - as in a necklace and a nude heeled shoe are a finishing touch thats add a polish to the ensemble. Well done!!
Enjoy your clothes and rock them out there...
red is also a nice colour to wear - and a dress like that is an empowering dress - I think wearing a heeled shoe is probably the best option with a red outfit.
