So socks pulled way up is something that looks good to most here?
In my case, socks pulled up is for warmth when the weather is bad, either that or I wear long skirts. In good weather and when I don't need the warmth I am happy for socks to leave my legs alone and dedicate themselves to ankle lagging! A knee length skirt and socks works quite well as long as the socks stay up. I do like long skirts but find that as they brush against the tops of my shoes, some shoe laces are amazingly good at undoing themselves, even from a triple bow type affair. (Note to self- when buying laces, don't go for slippy ones!)
Sure, warmth is important.
I guess when I wear my kilt, unless I’m going out formally, I’m not a big sock pulled all the way up kind of guy. But the knee length sicks reflects the kilt like feeling.
I wore a kilt the other day with socks but ankle length just out and about. Had three very positive male (surprisingly) encounters. Usually it’s women who comment but not that day.
I think one of my biggest detractors to wearing more is the “how to make it fit with my other clothing” routine.
Although I really appreciate jocks, actors and famous musicians wearing skirts to introduce the world to the idea, outside of what Brad Pitt wore, I can’t see donning any of them.
What I really need is some style that creates a look of how I typically dress but incorporates a skirt in a way that looks good, is functional and doesn’t scare people away. And from scaring them, I mean looking at me and posing the ignorant questions of is he transitioning or the egg on their face question of homosexuality as if somehow clothing is the factor that dictates the complicated nature of sexual orientation.
I’d really like a look of what I am. A cis hetero male who wear skirts because they’re comfortable.
