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.

When asked 'Why the Kilt?'
I respond-The why is F.T.H.O.I. (For The H--- Of It)
If you want to make a dress for yourself, I have some practical advice: get the right cut for your body. Women’s dresses often have waist seams and bust seams that accentuate a female figure. If you want to accentuate your V-shape, you’ll need to space the shoulder seams further out, and the waist seam probably needs to go down a couple of inches.
This nails what I sort of knew but couldn't quite figure out. Those dresses, especially the second and third ones, are what I'm trying to achieve. He also gives some more tips here.
There are more and more articles like this appearing in conjunction with the fashion world now pushing gender fluidity. There have been a few interesting articles featuring Harris Reed over the last few days for example. I do get the feeling that with the rise of generation Z , the days of gendered fashion is numbered. Of course, the fashion industry will look at this in terms of profit, since if they can even entice 10% of men to become interested in wearing skirts and dresses, that is huge for them. Not all men will be interested in wearing skirts and dresses, but that is to be expected, but what I do expect is to start seeing more of it, especially once we emerge from the pandemic.
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.

Ahh... I accept my fate being a pudgy, balding, skirt wearing mountain hillbilly!
Yeah Moon, and me, a grizzled out of shape 63 year old with weird hair and a penchant for dresses and heels.
Ha Ha, we are what we are and I am just enjoying getting old as disgracefully as I can.
