Wearing a slip under kilts

After reading the posts on this topic, and receiving a close fitting and rough fabric kilt I tried a simple and successful solution.

I took an older, softer, pair of boxers and cut them along the seam between leg holes. This provided a well fitting, loose flowing, short hanging undergarment, allowing the regimental feel, and satisfying curious children and wife if I were underclad - they saw familiar boxer fabric and backed off. This wouldn't repel woolen abrasion on the thighs, but a quick, simple, effective and affordable solution right out of the drawers -as it were.

I love to wear half slips under my skirts. As somebody said earlier..it just feels good. I also like the lace trim on slips...it makes them somehow..expensive..classy..

I don't know about letting the slip show in the back slit of your skirt tho. My wife thinks, that is a bit too much for people.

My wife says a frilly slip showing would look like I'd been raiding her lingerie drawer. But she is happy for me to wear plain slips. There is an e-bay seller makes nylon kilt liners, which are a bit heavier than nylon slips, in a choice of dark colours, navy blue, bottle green, burgundy etc., in a 22" length with an elasticated waist and with seat and waist size made to measure and I have found these very practical.

I have a couple of Diesel skirts that are all nylon, (inside and outside, with some kind of padding material in between, very comfy) but sometimes after washing they seem to hold a very high static electrical charge. I've seen sparks a few times, occasionally the skirt clings to my legs in a very irritating manner and once, getting out of my car, I had an electric shock that felt like several hundred volts

Next time you wash it use fabric conditioner in the washing machine. I used to suffer the same problem with the lining of my straight skirts sticking to my legs with static charge until I used fabric conditioner in the last rince of the wash.

You could always sew up the slit at the back of the skirt, or convert it into a knife pleat if it is an over-lapping vent. I do this with all my straight skirts and I don't have any problems with movement.

Generally speaking, "elder wisdom" (it may be different for the "younger set") states that it's a wee bit tacky to show bits of one's undergarments in public. Slips are available with walking slits in them, and those are designed to be aligned with whatever skirt is being worn.

I have "underskirts" (slips) that have slits and some that don't, and I wear each type according to the type of skirted garment I'm wearing. I don't happen to have any skirts that have walking slits in them, but if I did I'd wear my "slitted slips" with them with the slits aligned. The main reason I have non-slitted ones is to serve as an advance "reminder" that I'm coming up on maximum stride and to "back off" a wee bit; the slips with walking slits in them allow a full stride, which for a couple of my skirts just doesn't work.

Carl, unfortunately the idea of aligning the slits in slips and skirts doesn't really work: There is enough 'play' in the slit that it will permit the slip to peek out. Indeed, it can almost be 'worse' in that a whole 'edge of the page' of the slip will protrude from the slit in the skirt.

I haven't found a solution to this.

It is no shame to enjoy classy underwear.
We should stop thinking "what will others think" Although that is a normal way of thinking. It is a automatic protection mode. But I think that it is time for those men who appreciate normal slips, for comfort, and others the quality luxury slips with nice lace finnishes, to just wear and enjoy. The time when everybody wore the same overall ( China) is long over. There are still some people out there who don't appreciate anything, and love to criticize everything, including men in skirts, but let us not be dictated by that minor group.

I think there are few men wearing slips, probably because they are not always really needed, but I like them. And if you want to, wear them with pride. If someone gets a accidental glimpse, so what.

Please remember that SkirtCafe is a family-friendly site for public fashion. It is not a peep show to talk about underwear showing under a skirt.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying classy underwear. But others won't think anything, because they won't see it. Many people here think that showing your underwear is tacky, and I agree.

Do you want your 10-year-old daughter reading this thread? This conversation on slips has gone on enough, and I'm now closing it.
