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.
Here's a blog that someone on the Atrium found. It describes how women's clothing has changes in the past few decades - wish we could say the same for men's clothing.
When do we get to write about the change in men's clothing
From when men wore flowing, glamourous garments to the drab
and dull of the 1900's to more colors of today. Will it show the
return of men into skirted garments
Stay tuned............................

When asked 'Why the Kilt?'
I respond-The why is F.T.H.O.I. (For The H--- Of It)
Men have been returning to skirted garments regularly, but not en masse, not in any significant numbers.
There seems not to be the need coming from men themselves to wear anything else than p*nts. There is a lot to be said for p*nts, but we here, appreciate also the wonderful traits of skirts. And after wearing p*nts for many years, most of us had finally broken with convention and chosen to wear unconventional men's clothing ( skirts ) .
There was hope in the seventies, but somehow it didn't catch on. Maybe skirt wearing is only for a small percentage of men, whereas women nearly all wear p*nts and sometimes skirts.
I think we should accept that we are and will stay a minority, but in that, a happy minority. What I hope is that we are not treated as a minority in the sense that we don't have all the rights, and are not accepted as other men. Only a minority in numbers. Nothing wrong with that. At the moment I would think that women wearing skirts reglularly are also in the minority.
I am sure that if we focus on having our group fully accepted in the community, there is no need to want for a greater percentage of wearers.

A man is the same man in a pair of pants or a skirt. It is only the way people look at him that makes the difference.
