Men wearing skirts

espinolman

What do you ladies think of men wearing skirts ?

I think skirts are cool

I find skirts they are very comfortable to wear i own three skirts but i am planning to get more and wear them more often , if not all the time.

I like the first skirt in here :

Men shouldn't wear skirts, even if they are gay.

Maybe High Fashion models can wear skirts, but I can't imagine normal men going about their every day business in them!

I've only ever seen one man in a skirt ... it was long and floral. Bit risque for me!

Each to their own, I guess, but I like to be the one wearing the skirts in a relationship.

Oh come on, the utilikilt is awesome.

Skirts shmirts, I wear trousers, let the blokes wear skirts. No biggie, and trousers must suck in the summer.

Very few men actually have decent legs though.

Kilts are kind of acceptable if you have a reason to wear one but wouldn't wear a skirt (in public anyway)

skirts on men are Just wrong. Serriously. i'm all for equality. i really am.

But some things are better for women.

Fluffybums

Kilts if you have the body for it - hmmmmmmm:D

Men in skirts - why not, if it stops the builders bum then they have to be a good thing.

Loose shorts to allow ventilation then. Not skirts

Not even a nice pink ra-ra skirt!?

Imagine bringing a guy home to meet your parents and he shows up in this little skirt. I actually don't know what I'd do!

David Beckham got away with a sarong "because he's David Beckham" but NOTHING above the knee, if you feel so inlined to experiment...

They really do suck in the summer , i mean say in jeans and the sun hits them , its agony , when i'd get into a car , it's just unfair for men .

Ok. Plan; If it's unfair, start a revolution! Get your camera out, get your skirt on and post a photo in the 'Know your loungers' thread

On my last visit to San Fran i could not help but notice the amount of guys wearing skirts,they seemed to be like a kilt but a bit more fashionable. I got chatting to the girl in starbucks and asked her whats the story? Her responce was very like raised eyebrow "you guys dont wear them in Ireland?"
Well no says i,i suppose the generall public would find it amusing. She tells me that mostly builders wear them during the summer and they come fitted with loads of pockets etc. She expalined its not a case of its a gay mans thing but more of a practical one.
To be honest i made a desicion years ago never to judge another based on gender,race or creed or if they wear a skirt or not! Lifes over to quiclky to be worried about peoples reaservations. Now where did i leave that denin number...:)

agony? lol! pain tolerence of zero... I quite enjoy the warming feeling when sun strikes jeans. That said, it's not like we've got enough sun for it to happen often enough to use that as an excuse to wear a skirt...and What's the problem getting into a car? o.O

Only times jeans are uncomfortable is when you get a stiffy and it's pointing awkwardly, but shure, tis easily rectified.

Skirts are just plain wrong on men.

Good jesus. You wouldn't even find me in pink! No :eek:

He's actually a bit of a dick tbh. If he didn't have football he'd have nothing, and that includes his demented wife




Imo, its all or nothing. Cover up or get them off.

Suppose i am going somewhere where there is a dress-code and it does'nt allow for shorts , i have come up against that situation in the past so i wore a skirt instead of trousers .

I think an un-bifurcated garment is better for ventilation .

Kinda sounds like you'd complain about anything at all for an excuse to wear one...

Imagine your ancestors, who farmed the land and lived harsh lives. Who fought in wars, had children and succesfully raised them. Who took life on like real men and didn't complain about things. Survived harsh winters, devastating bouts of disease and the misery of everyday life.

And now picture one of their descendants, you, wearing a dress.
This culture of metrosexuals is getting out of hand.

This is just my opinion and I'm sure many men and women would feel the same. How many women would go for a walk in the park with their partner while he wears a dress? And yes, I realise that if all men wore dresses it wouldn't be such an issue, but I'm still certain many men and women would be firmly resistant to the idea.

Jaysus I wouldn't mind at all if my other half wore a skirt! Kilts are sexy! What's the difference between a kilt and a skirt to you then? You mentioned war - they used to be WORN in war by extremely tough men!!!

challengemaster

If this isn't reason enough for why men should NEVER wear skirts, then there is no reasoning with you

Well ... his ultimate ancestors probably wore the léine, a tunic-like garment, which disappeared here under Norman and English influence, and eventually evolved in the Scottish highlands to the kilt.

But the kilt has a long and proud heritage, and I've even been inveigled into one when the occasion demanded it in Scotland (and danced in one, which was somewhat nervy!), and it certainly bears no more affinity with this ridiculous garment ...



... than Boy George does with Hulk Hogan!!

spinandscribble

well you need a nice set of legs and the kilt needs to be shortish, definitely just below the knee if not higher.

i have to say i was never gone on them until there was a queue for a id card in college one year. a fellow with the finest set of legs known to womankind comes up behind me, wearing a kilt. i was in awe. he caught me looking and got kinda bashful saying he wasn't sure if he could pull it off and in my sleaziest voice i reassured him. he went on to say he'll have to buy another

especially on tanned legs. yummy.

Yeah, those wussy dress wearing celts, what a bunch of pansies. So what if they are reckoned as some of the most ferocious warrios in history, they wore dresses so they're a bunch of jessies. And the romans and spartans, don't get me started! Sure, the romans were the most dominant military force in history and built an empire that spanned the known world, and the spartans had the most militant society in human history and bred soldiers who were willing to lay down their lives rather than be defeated, but what a bunch of dress wearing pussies.

For the record, he said skirt, not dress, there is a difference, but your arguement was flawed enough to begin with before that detail was pointed out.

Have worn a skirt before (actually got a nice full length black one for my christmas outfit a few years ago) and if the mood takes me and I see one I like I will do so again. Simple

Irish men and women used to dress the same in a belted shirt-like garment , trousers started to become mainstream at the start of the industrial revolution , i feel they are a garment of servitude and men are brought up in them to condition them into being subserviant to the state .

Is'nt the industrial revolution over , surely men can go back to wearing what they normally wear !

valery

then what, tights in winter???shaved legs ???masculinity and femininity are poles apart ladies , thats the attraction . I want men to be men ....thats MEN .
not something in between.

rainbow kirby

Meh, whatever floats your boat.

God, where did you come up with your post. I'm a man and the last thing i would wear is a skirt. Its totally 100% a womans item (and some look great in them) Guys who wear them, well... I think they are lacking.. vitamins or something.

Nevyn

I have found men that wear skirts in a manly fashion not to be lacking at all in fact they tend to have more 'balls' both metaphysically and in actuality.

The same can be said of women, especially Irish women.

As a Scot, I LOVE a man in a kilt - I'm not sure how I'd feel if my o/h decided he wanted to wear a skirt or dress on a regular basis...after I stopped laughing I'd probably get used to it, eventually. Seems unfair that I can wear shirts and trousers and no-one blinks an eye-lid - maybe this is the next step towards complete equality...? :eek::pac:

If I had a boyfriend who look a liking to wearing skirts, I have to say I'd make the relationship platonic!

It just wouldn't work for me, I'm afraid.

Ickle Magoo

Yeah, it doesn't sit right with me either - but I like a man in a sarong and a kilt...maybe man-skirts are just a step too far!

Do you see anything wrong with how a lot of men wear very tight trousers and jeans ?

challengemaster

Not a thing wrong with it in fairness, if they want to strangle the twins and Jnr, let them!

As for being natural....What the hell is natural about a man wearing a skirt? It's about as natural as horses eating eachother

And that's saying a lot!

Yes - but I think a quick lesson in general fashion and the disturbing phenomena of ca-male-toe would fix that for the most part. I think men wearing skirts because they can't pick trousers/jeans that fit, or more worrisome, those that think people want to see the shadowed outline of their genitalia would just result in said same men wearing mini's or see-thru numbers or other hideous fashion faux pas with skirts instead. Personally, I'd rather see the tight trousers than that. :eek:

Maybe that is why some women don't want men to wear skirts , because these women do want to see the shadowed outline of :eek: .

And maybe that is why certain women like men to wear tight trousers !:eek:
