Here's the cheat for that problem. Find the post you wish to link to, and on the post's title, right-click and do a "copy URL". That can then be pasted into another post bracketed by "url" descriptors.

Am in Karlstad in Sweden with my son. On Saturday, I saw a tall man with beard and moustache in a black skirt (one with ruffles in the front - semi apron style front design). He was with a friend and the look was coordinated and tasteful. I didn't get a picture as I don't like to take pix of complete strangers.

Karlstad is only an hour from me, and it wasn't me, hopefully its a local and I'll spot him too one day, odds are with the season that its a tourist though. :)

Hi all, It was a really hot day yesterday in Wetherby, Yorkshire, UK. I saw a man in a shortish - above the knee - sun dress. He was just walking through the town with all the other shoppers. He was completely bald and sporting a fine pair of knobbly knees. The dress had thin shoulder straps. It certainly looked alright to me and no-one else seemed to take any notice as if it was quite usual. Unfortunately I was trousered: Shame.

Best wishes

Derek.

I may have seen two last weekend, one looked like one of the homeless, but he was definately wearing a red skirt, the other was outside the grocery, which I didn't get as close a look at, but as I drove by It looked rather unbifurated. Three if you count a femboy at the mall.

Yesterday afternoon in one of our local shopping centres I was getting something to eat for my little one when a family walked past, and only out of the corner of my eye I noticed that the dad was wearing what looked like a black wrap skirt, similar to a lavalava, they were gone before I managed to see just what it was. I may have seen this family there before, but it was a while ago.

He wasn't attracting any attention from anyone that I noticed. I have seen a couple of younger guys wearing skirts around the place, so not the first.

I was shopping in my local Tesco supermarket today wearing my kilt and a black tank top with waistcoat. Whilst there, I seen a tall thin guy in his 20s wearing a long summer dress and sand shoes and multi coloured socks that were rolled down to his ankle.

Now that would have been a sight I would have liked to see! :lol:

I was in Wells market place this morning. The wife had just bumped into a mutual friend and they were having a good natter. A guy crossed the road and complimented me on my skirt (knee length A-line denim). I looked down and behold, he too was wearing denim skirt, so I complimented him back. That made my morning ... and the wife didn't even notice him :D

I went to my local Home and Farm store this morning. At the checkout was a man wearing a camouflage skirt. I live in a small rural town in Kansas, so this surprised me. I ended up checking out before him and waited outside for him to come out. We had a brief conversation about the comfort of wearing skirts. Unfortunately I was wearing shorts since I can't wear skirts locally (to much of a chance of being seen by family members). My wife has made it very clear that I'm never to be seen in a skirt by friends or family (or her for that matter).

Nice that you saw and spoke with him. I wonder if he had any clues, assurances for you; & if you shared the encounter with your family? It is bad enough to be in a prison of social regimentation from perceptions of what the world might think; even worse when it is your own loved ones trying to put the lid on your coffin. I hope the encounter may have given you some edge, hope, and spunk toward self-actualization.

Today in Edinburgh, just outside the National Museum of Scotland, a young man in a short pleated skirt and black tights. He was eating lunch with a woman. I didn't talk to him, as we were in a hurry to get to a show, though I did manage to get him in the background of a photo of a statue, here cropped to remove said statue of a Mr Playfair.
