Re: 3 skirt possibles... opinions?

I see my opini9on is the same as teh other fellas': I like #1.

I have several skirts generally similar to #1 and get good responses to them.
I dislike denim in general, so that's a strike against #2 & #3. But even apart from the choice of material, I too would find #3 too short to be comfortable.

I do think an important factor is your age. As I am 51 y.o. my skirts are a little longer, a little more conservative, than what I might encourage a 21 y.o. to adopt. In fact, I find that my 'ladieswear wardrobe' [1] looks like the wardrobe of a lady of my age, and not that of, say, a teenage girl.

Go for it!

All the best,

Chris


[1] Alright, alright, enough already. Don't shoot me for this term. You know perfectly well what I mean. :)

Considering your waist I should certainly chose the comfortable no. 3. It is 46 cm long. Also take a look at the video. My second choice should be no. 1.

There ARE viable alternatives to trousers.

Yeah, I ended up going for #3 and the alternative to #1 in the darker colour. Don't know why the black version of #1 has vanished

Now, I'm not keen on the lighter colour, but hows this in the darker colour for an alternative? It's not the same, but still along the right sort of lines.

The dark brown looks good IMO, but may limit the seasons of use to fall and winter.

Well, I bought the dark brown one, and the blue shorter one, which should be here sometime next week :D We'll see how they look then...

Myself I like skirt 1 & skirt 2. They are both the length that I go for. I am not big on the shorter skirts. If you are looking and trying to figure out a size for your skirt's you might want to think about a 8 or myabe a 9. I have just about a 30-32 waist and most of the skirts I have are a size 8 and they fit quite well! I do have a size 10 that fit's ok but is a little big in the waist. I have found that most skirts that are a size 8-9 fit a man with a 30-32 waist good. the skirts that I have that are a size 8 are not all from the same maker eathier. Hope this helps and good luck!

I like skirt 2. I saw something similar to it in a charity shop last week and was tempted to buy it. Only problem is I did not have my wallet with me at the time.

My skirts came in the mail this morning and fit great :D The brown one hits me just below the knee and has some reasonable sized pockets too. The blue one comes to just above the knee. The pleats mean there's plenty of room, so I could easily climb a fence or a tree in it if I wanted/needed to, and if I sit with my legs open there's no indecency :P

I like the skirt with the pleats but I would need a 42" waist and a 25" length
