Addicted USA skirts

Post by JPskirt »

I received my Men’s Camo and “Laddie” skirts from Addicted USA today. They are very nice quality, but I would recommend going up 1 size (maybe two) from your normal men’s size. Typically I wear medium and some large in most men’s sizes, but this brand I always have to size up at least one size. I ordered a size large, and they fit, but they are tight…. Should have ordered a size XL. Nice to know that more companies are making skirts specifically for men.

You have to remember a medium woman is smaller than a medium man…. I try and look at the actual measurements being quoted for the waist against what I know is my waist size.
Daily, a happy man in a skirt...

These aren’t women’s sizes… they are men’s.. it’s a men’s store. I wasn’t comparing to women’s sizes.

Sorry JPskirt, I made a reply quickly on my phone without knowing the brand and doing any research....

So, Spanish brand from Barcelona, started out with swim ware. Now has outlets around the world.

I found their UK site and on the skirt sizing page they state https://addicteduk.co.uk/products/addic ... 6ecb&_ss=r
SIZE GUIDE FOR SKIRTS

Our sizes tend to run a bit smaller than other brands. We recommend taking a moment to measure yourself and check our size chart for accurate sizing.
I guess if they started with swimwear, their sizing would be for a tight fit look.

As you say, interesting that they are making skirts for men. They say on their about page
Addicted is a model brand within men’s fashion, and more specifically, within the gay sector, one that comes to mind when thinking about gay men’s fashion.
however, I have found that gay men I have met, do not typically go for skirts, but maybe this is a sign that things are changing? What do others think?

looking at their website, the entire range appears to reflect 'skin tight' or tighter sizing!!
