Men in skirts

I find Utilikilts quite attractive.

I really like those. Looking around the site, I found this about their return policy:

What is normal wear and tear?

After much deliberation and several whiskey sours, we were able to come up with some things you probably shouldn’t do to your kilt. In fact, consider this your Official Warning. Should you choose to ignore our advice, don’t pull similar shite and then ring Krash to complain, because he’ll probably just tell you “I told you so.” So here goes:
•your cat just had a litter of kittens in your left cargo pocket…
•you forgot to take the two boxes of Sharpies our of your cargo pockets before washing…
•your girlfriend thought your kilt needed some rhinestones…
•the repairs you made yourself with dental floss start to fray…
•in a colossal case of misjudgment, you decide to wear your tie dyed Utilikilt* to Big Earl’s Tractor Pull in Jemison, Alabama, while wearing your FCUK BUSH t-shirt…
•you found your way into a bleach factory after hours and decided to have a quick game of Ultimate Frisbee…
•you were stupid enough to try and jump the burning embers of the Burning Man…
•you decided to hit on the cute girlfriend of the Shanghai Muay Thai Kickboxing Champion…
•you had freaky-deaky carnival sex in it and it is no longer right in the eyes of… Okay, really….Just don’t. He doesn’t want to hear that.

I love a company with a sense of humor.

Aaaand the number one reason for men in skirts…

david tennant wtf are you wearing? • all kilt, all the time…

(damn stoopid url thingy i can’t do)
Ladies, you’re welcome.

I need to move to Scotland. That is super sexy.

I love a man in a kilt, a utilikilt or even a skirt, SEXAY as hell! Years ago I bought my husband* a pink shirt. He loved it and it looked great on him, but he did take some crap from his friends over it. He wore it anyway.

*now he’s my ex but that’s unrelated to this story…

I play curling, and see kilts all the time for bagpiping and for club ceremonies, so men in skirts don’t give me the vapors. But for me personally, no. Most offices that I’ve worked in are so cold that the last thing I want is to bare my legs at work.

[SeaDragonTattoo]

Quite a few dudes in kilts around Chicago. Also, regular skirts.

Hot.

That’s what those are called! There was a guy I saw at the Beans Barton and the Bipeds shows that wore that. He was a shortish, fifityish, balding dude with a beard and I guess he may have been like their roadie or something? He always had on a tan one of those with tools all in the pockets and hanging from it. (Like a tool belt that grew a skirt.) With of course, workboots.

I thought it was the most sensible garment I’d ever seen.

I don’t see why men aren’t ‘allowed’ to wear skirts. I say that as a woman that hates skirts. (I wore a maxi dress to a wedding this weekend and had a pair of shorts on under it. (Outdoor wedding. In July. In Austin. And I’m fat. No thigh chafing for me!) )

I married a professional bagpiper. 'Nuff said.

Don’t let that stop you. There are stockings, tights, and leggings you can wear under your skirt.

We may look like sissies
But watch what you say or else we’ll put out your lights!
We’re men, we’re men in tights.
Always on guard protecting the people’s rights!

My kilt goes to the middle of my kneecaps. My kilt hose go up to a little below the kneecaps. There’s maybe three inches of bare skin in between.

Yeah, but you get all of that air circulation under the skirt.

I’m seriously considering getting one of these. It may take time to get the courage to wear it outside, but I like the look of it.

Air circulation is a good thing in the summer. Not a problem.

In the winter - the kilt and the hose are made of wool. Not a problem.

Just add a traditional badger sporran and you’ll be all set

No real interest in skirts or dresses here. In particular, if it’s short enough to require crossing my legs when I sit, it’s right out.

Part of me thinks that it might be nice if robes came into fashion here. The Arab style is perhaps not as interesting as what Moses wore in the Ten Commandmants…

I know what you mean. Western clothing styles for men don’t really offer much in the way of flow and drape. The only real chance I get to wear clothing that doesn’t fit me quite closely is full length coats in winter. I love it when I trot to cross the road and my coat flies out behind me.

Can we get capes and hooded robes back too?

no capes!

[Aquadementia]

It’s a horrible idea.
Men aren’t going to have the shoes and belts to go with their skirts.

@simster

Capes are awesome. They go with everything.

Oh yeah! When I was younger I really wanted an old English cape. They look cool waving in the breeze a bit.
