I’m all for men and women wearing more skirts. It’s a great look, and far more versatile than the endless jeans and t-shirt uniform that has been plaguing the world for some thirty years now, making people look like cookie cutter replicas of each other.

Most women look like crap in pants of any cut or style. I’m not talking about supermodels or “hottie” movie stars, who are all anorexic and spend every free moment working out at a gym with a personal trainer and can wear men’s clothing because they have the figure of an ironing board. I’m talking about your average woman who has meat on her butt, hips and thighs. In pants, they look horrible, particularly in motion from behind, and most of them are so silly that they wear everything a size too small because they think it squeezes their meat down a size. Instead it’s camel toe time, “dig my saddlebags” time, see every pimple on my arse time - ugly, ugly, ugly! I work in a situation where I see women in pants constantly, and it’s just horrible looking on all but the very thin.

Put decently cut and fitting skirts on the same women who are abominable in pants and they become feminine and graceful. The skirt drifts over the bumps and creases that the pants pointed out like a neon sign. They’re no longer being sawn up the middle of their crotch by a trouser seam. If they have saddlebag thighs, no-one knows. In elderly women where they have lost a lot of the muscle tone in their buttocks, the look of having two hot dogs side by side as a rear end is camouflaged. Women feel more comfortable in skirts because certain parts of their anatomies aren’t being outlined like a World War II map of Europe.

Where I live, there are many Tongan men who wear skirts exclusively, even as business attire. They look terrific, even the very big men. There is a certain dash to it, and they don’t have that weird, glunky, ridden-up look that so many large bodied men get in trousers that are cut to fit a scarecrow. I also get a lot of younger fellows in my shop who are wearing NuKilts and the like - they always look comfortable and dashing!

The hell with pants. They were developed to enable people to ride horses - so these days they’re great for jockeys and anyone else who rides a lot. Being a woman who does not own a pair of pants, and will never wear the hot, binding, motion restricting things again so long as I live, any man who wears trousers all the time doesn’t know what he’s missing.

All the people that say they wear them only wear them at home away from public places. Thats why you never see them. I dont see anybody else either.

I agree with all you who’ve stated your preference for skirts, I also wear skirts and dresses most of the time. But I wonder, with all the guys who have stated that they wear skirts frequently, why I’ve never seen anyone else wearing one. And I get around quite a bit, I do a lot of travelling for work. And no woman has ever complimented me on my skirt, maybe my fashion sense is much worse than I thought?

I have been wearing kilt-style skirts (made for men) and sarongs for 14 years. I have had mostly positive reactions from people, have worn them on airplanes, at tourist areas, around my neighborhood, and just about anyplace where I didn’t have any doubts about my safety. They are so comfortable, and my attitude has always been that we can never change others; we can only change ourselves, and others can learn from our example if they want to. My wife would be happy if I didn’t wear skirts at all, but we work out our compromises, which is what marriage is about. All-in-all, I have had good experiences and would recommend skirt-wearing to anybody; it adds to your life!

Jack here. Yes I agree with Murray. Got to get more blokes into “unbifurcated”. I do give away lava-lavas to friends who can’t find them. Surprising how few shops have them in this “Polinesian world capital”(Auckland). But find a man’s skirt as such on sale? Laughed out of shop I would say! New Zealand has never been an ice-breaker in these things however. Over to another guy for comment. Jack.

Murray here. Yes very hard to get men out of their rut. I will be out in my lava-lavas more. Mostly at beach and cafes last summer. More “everyday” now methinks. Around here I wear nothing else. New Zealand seems to be very conservative in these things.Rugby shorts all year. Must be most uncomfortable. Murray.

im a 45 yo male in very good shape. I have the build of a swimmer/ runner, Im tall and on thin side even though I have good definition and developed torso and legs. My legs are also shaved all time as well. (6-5, 160). Ive had a skirt and underwear fetish for many years. Most of time I wear “modifyed” versions from old shorts that Ive worn over the years. “cut out the crotch and trimm the length” Which ends up around 12-14 inches long. I also have female denim mini skirts 12-13 in length or a size 3-4. Ive worn them at home and around the yard to which i live on a farely busy street. Ive driven around and gone to gas station wearing one (paying at pump) but not going into store or gas station. I use a 24 hour gym with cameras and worn the skirts or modifyed shorts to workout in. Of course I always wear bikini underwear under them all time since going commando would cause things to stick out the bottom. At gym when i go, im the only one there but you never know who will walk in since its avalible 24 hours. Of course while working out my underwear will be exposed, however that dosent bother me expecially when nobody else is there to see it anyhow. Im considered straight but like to be in my underwear and skirts. As far as the rest of me goes..I wear the normal male t shirt and running shoes or sneakers with male socks. my legs are bare with no hose or stockings. Im not trying to hide my male ego or try to look like a girl. Im currently alone and single. My e mail is : airchair@wildblue.net

Great to see all the interest in skirts for men. Most look a bit short for my tast.I prefer my lava-lavas more ankle length. Would like to make a camo one as a shorter skirt i saw looked good. Jack.

I live in a 200-acre nudist cooperative and work from home, so 23 hours of the day I’m not wearing anything. Which makes me even more aware of the discomfort of wearing pants and shorts, especially when driving.

Three months ago I saw 12 guys wearing kilts at the Florida Regional Burn (associated with the Burning Man Festival in Nevada.) I bought a Sport Kilt, which I like because the long velcro closure is both secure and makes it easy to put on.

Female friends think it looks hot; women on the street have voiced a few positive comments; teens with droopy shorts riding over their underwear may snicker; most people don’t seem to notice. I haven’t worn shorts since I got the kilt, cause it’s so much more comfortable. I’ve since purchased 2 more kilts, one tartan and one camo.

Cost may be an issue for most guys, because even the “cheap” Sports Kilt is around $80. However, it is American-made so I feel better than when I bought my last pair of $25 shorts that were made in China.

I think I’ll reserve one dress suit with pants for weddings and funerals, and take the rest of my pants to the local Goodwill.

Hi all;
Like to say just one thing: You’re right with your statments, I like to see more men thinking similar. Feeling when wearing a skirt is amazing about comfort. There is no other garment which can touch this feeling.
Why other men don’t try it? I believe they are not encouraged to do what they want to do. I don’t care what other’s think about, never I heard negative comments. I agree,I like to see the idea take off, too, while I am still in this life. Looking forward to see more skirted men soon.

I’ve been wearing skirts & kilts, along with opaque stockings for the past 20+ years. Going public was another thing -> It happened by accident my wife purchased the clothes and suggested I wear them to a party we were having at home.
Yes it did cause a reaction to several guests (friends); I explained how it began years before when I had put-on one of my wifes skirts, which was an elastic waist, and really loved the comfort on a particularly hot summer day. I went to show it to her; she laughed, asked me to come & sit-down beside her……then reached & grabbed some highly sensitive private parts……and thus began a period where “passion” is an understatement. Our children were gorwn enough to be “bored” with their Dad’s being silly.
I’m working from home; my wife of 42 years died almost 5 years ago; as I write, I’m sitting at my desk wearing a pleated skirt & t-shirt with sandels; no feeling at all of it being abnormal. Living in a Condo, the few neighbors often see me & know me well enough to realize I do not care what they think. Yet, at a business appointment tomorrow, I’m certain I’ll wear slacks.
It will become popular someday! The first thing that will be needed is for some well-known fashion designed to create a series of skirt/kilt/sarong/evening wear/ even some cool dresses FOR MEN! Then, if they can get a TV or Film star to endorse, appearing where the Media can get involved, the suddenly we’ll see the new wardrobe option for men “take off”.
Me? I’m 62; I’m sort of set in my ways; I remain hesitant to dress the way I want in most public places……like I have not told a lady I’m dating about my wardrobe preferences yet but No, I’ll not ever give up this freedom I’ve enjoyed so many years. Do any of other men who read this “blog”, believe public attention will spur a named fashion designer somewhere? There are a few Web-sites where men, who have designed their own line of clothing, actually present quality (clearly manly fashion ideas). I’d love to see the idea take off, while I’m still in this life; it could happen quickly given te speed of how communications are spread across the globe each day. Good Luck to all of us!

It’s about time America moved into the 21st century and brought about a revolution against the ignorance and bigotry of forcing men to wear pants. The rights and freedom of all people need to be recognized. Men in skirts needs to be the norm and I agree with everyone here who feels that skirts are both comfortable and logical. It doesn’t have to be falling back to the kilts of the past, but become more modern with the style and comfort. Colors make no difference. If women want to wear pants…..let em, and if men want to wear skirts….then I say, let em. Personally I find skirts to be the logical choice and prefer them over ball binding pants. Since when do women have rights that men don’t. Women began wearing pants and men have the same right to wear skirts without snickers from the idiots. There’s such a thing as thinking outside the box and that is the purpose of this forum. Who on God’s green earth made it a law requiring men to wear pants? I sure didn’t, and I’m willing to bet that any man in his right mind, given the choice without societal derogatory remarks, would choose a skirt over pants any day. Not only are they a more logical choice, but also provide the necessary ball room without the binding and chaffing. The real choice then is what to wear underneath. Simple. Whatever feels good. Without the zipper in front to force a man to wear male briefs, there are now a million other choices and it’s up to each man to choose for himself. Who cares what other people say or think. It’s only their own ignorance and foolishness that has kept men from wearing the clothing of their own choice. Men have allowed the world to dictate their lives and have given up their own freedom. It’s long been overdue to tell the fashion world and the rest of the world, that men have the right to wear skirts if they want to. The trouble is that men are p***y whipped and browbeaten into thinking that they have to follow the rules of a dictatorial society. Publish this on the Front Page of the New York Times if you have the balls. And for the fashion industry, it’s time you dumba**es stopped telling the world what to wear. Start providing skirts designed for men and get them out to the public in every store around the globe.

Way to go Terry! If more guys would give skirts a try, I think they would be very suprised just how comfortable,(and did I mention fun!),they are to wear.And even more suprised how much the majority of women seem to approve. They are also a great icebreaker,I have had a lot more women begin conversations with me when wearing a skirt,or other alternative clothing, then I have ever noticed while dressed in everday male attire. It is really hard to believe the amount of positive compliments I receive from the women,and girls, on the skirts and even on my legs, boots, and shoes that I wear with the skirts, Women do notice how we are dressed, the few negative remarks are usually from young teenage girls when they are in a group. If more guys would try wearing skirts in the public, I think it would catch on very fast once the guys find out how much the chicks dig it! Clothing does not make or decide if people are gay, It’s what happens after the clothing is removed(lol) It takes Balls to go out wearing skirts! So go ahead and try it, you might like it! (Warning It Is Addicting) Peace to all, jenisis21 at yahoo

I’m a man and I love to wear skirts and dresses. I wore a skirt in public a couple of months ago and fell in love with it immediately. It was far more comfortable that anything I have ever worn. I have worn skirts several times since then. I have got a lot of compliments from women. I decided to go further than skirts, I have been out a couple of times in a dress. I have fallen in love with dresses. I’m going to buy me some more dresses and skirts and get a good collection of them. I know there are a lot of people don’t approve of what I’m doing, I have got a lot of stares and strange looks and I have heard people laughing behind my back, but I don’t pay them any attention. I don’t care what other people thinks. I’m not even close to being gay. I’m not trying to be a woman. When it comes to men’s clothes the only 3 things that are available are trousers, trousers, and trousers. Most of the shorts that are made for men are too long to be called shorts. It is extremely boring to have to wear the same thing day after day. That is something that could be changed but we men are the ones that will have to do it. Getting society to accept men wearing skirts and dresses is something that is not going to happen by itself, we have got to get out and make it happen. I have made the decision that I’m not going to wait for society to accept it. I would like to see other men do the same thing. I encourage other men that reads this to give skirts a try, you will love them.

Wow! I am glad to see that there are so many replys on this skirts for men subject, and still going on over a year. For a long time I thought I was alone on my desire to wear skirts and clothing from the other side of the aisle. The comfort of skirts are one of the best kept secrets from us guys, buy the ladies. I am looking forward to wearing them more this summer, I agree with patagonia kid about the cargo style. They seem to be more unisex, and usually draw less attenion. I have a couple of cargo denim skirts, and a couple of short denim cargo skooter’s very short, but skirt goes all around the shorts, so they look like a mini skirt. so even with shorts underneath, they are very comfortable, and safe for beginners)(lol) I just purchased a khaki colored cargo skooter of that style, and received a compliment the first time i went out wearing it, by two older teenage girls maybe 18-19 that were behind me in line at Kohl’s. They were talking about my skirt, when the oldest one, said , excuse me, I like your skirt, (I thought they were just teasing me) so I told her it was really shorts. She said she knew that, and that she had a skirt just exactly like it, The younger one said it looked really good on me, and that her boyfriend wore one of her skirts, and crossdressed on halloween, and that she thought he looked really hot in a skirt, but she can’t talk him into dressing up again for her.The two of them made my day, and I will remember that everytime i wear that skirt. btw: Kohl’s junior size skirts,shorts,and jeans fit guys great!, and the sales girls are very helpful,and have told me that they get lots of guys in there buying jeans, and sometimes shorts, but I am the first one they have seen wearing, and buying there skirts, so just maybe if more would guys would get out there, it would be easier for all of us! peace out, jenisis
