Skirts for Men!

I wear skirts much more often than pants of shorts. I have never had any negative reaction from the public, but often do get positive notice from women (none from men, at least not spoken). I much prefer the look and feel for most activities (OK, working under a car, not so much). Mini to knee-length in Summer, satin or denim (pockets!); knee to ankle, denim (pockets!) or wool in Winter. always over satin and/or lace undies, if any. When it looks good, feels great, and works – what’s not to love?

I began wearing skirts or skorts in public as a guy about a year ago, (and occasionally cross dress as well, presenting as female.) There is something heavenly about just putting on a skirt as a guy and being myself as I want to be as well as freeing my body from the constriction of pants and male undergarments. There is no way a skirt isn’t better suited for the male body than trousers. For the most part there is no reaction or interest from people when I’m in a denim or tennis skirt and what occasional reaction there is is almost always a smile, from both men and women.

Absolutely I wear one whenever I can always with tights as they are comfortable, way more so than trousers/shorts, and look great. They should be gender free but I have only ventured out in them once or twice but that’s going to change. Need to be more brave. Try it they are great.

A couple of years ago, a cashier at our local grocery store suggested that I should wear a skirt for a week
so I bought 2 mini skirts, wore them for a week and now 2 years and 3 months later I’m still wearing skirts. I have not put a pair of pants or shorts since.

I think I look good in a skirt personally

I think guys should generally start with a kilt and wear it/them often. There are many non tartan kilts out there and kilts are considered a man’s garment. Seeing men in non-bifurcated (not pants or shorts – no fabric between the legs) help ease into a non familiar clothing style for themselves. They can be bought for surprisingly cheap prices all the way up to hundreds of dollars. I’ve got 4 kilts and plan to start wearing them much more often. As for the opinion that shirts are foe girls- how many pants did the Roman solders and Jesus disciples wear? I suspect the Bible statement about not wearing cloths of the opposite sex was probably against presenting oneself as the opposite sex. Skirts should be an option for everyone.

As I am not Scottish, I don’t have a family tartan and therefore wouldn’t wear a traditional kilt. However, nothing stopping me from wearing a black leather kilt. Bare, unshaven legs and sandals get me through most of the year. It’s incredibly comfortable and quite the conversation piece.

I started wearing skirts a few weeks ago pretty much due to a post allergic reaction fungal infection that wouldn’t clear up in the confines and humidity of shorts/pants. Wearing the skirts allows everything to be cooler and less restricted I now resent when I feel like I ‘have’ to wear pants. Partially related I have also found the lighter fabrics and far fewer seams in ’women’s’ underwear has helped massively.

Mena and boys can wear skirts and tights. But you should shave the legs!

Skirts are a gender neutral garment. None of my skirts have a genitalia. I enjoy the comfort of being free of the nuisance of a crotch seam. I have never felt feminine while wearing a skirt. My wife certainly does not look like a man even though she always wears pants or shorts.

I am a female and absolutely love my jean skirts not shorts or pants. The Bible says women are not suppose to wear men’s garments and men are not suppose to wear women’s garments. Traditionally women wear dresses and skirts and men wear pants and shorts. I am sure men would love skirts ,but its questionable due to the fact that in Ireland or Scotland men wear kilts???? I will say ;however, men would love instead both leather and jean skort shorts, you know the one with the front wrap that looks like a skirt in the front and shorts in the back. Really all in all a skort is just shorts anyway.

I have always loved skirts. I now have 7 satin maxi skirts that I wish I could wear in public. I have satin overalls and get great compliments on them. i think about using a overall top with a skirt bottom. I hope men in satin and skirts would become normal. I wear bridal satin overalls in public without any bad remarks. Now hoping skirts will be the same

I now wear nothing but panties and just resently purchased two very nice nighties. But I would like to break out with a skort. Only they’re made generally for women. A skort made just for men and made in the plus sizes ( 44 and up ) would help me to come out of shell and into the open. Please makes of clothing think of us bigger men.
Thank You so much !

I am a straight guy. I love wearing skirts and wear them out at every opportunity. I eagerly await the coming of men’s skirts into popularity to provide us an alternative to boring and crotchety pants.

If men, as I DO TOO, want to wear skirts as I DO we should go out in PUBLIC with a SHIRT ON. I wear a baggy T shirt and wear a short SKIRT with it. I go in to Circle K and other Quick stops with the SKIRT on. most don’t even look at what I have on as the shirt covers the skirt.

Men need to start FASHION SHOWS with the SKIRT and PUBLICIZE it, this way men will not be frowned on when caught in a skirt. This would change Men’s and Women’s view on MEN IN SKIRTS.

I would love to see a MANLY SKIRT with 2 deep pockets in front, 2 Medium pockets in back and CARGO POCKETS ON THE SIDE like military pants.

The SKIRT is so much COOLER than SHORTS in the HOT WEATHER.

I LOVE MY SKIRTS!

I am 6’5 and all through life I’ve struggled to find pants that fit my length and waist how often do you see a 30 waist and 36 inseam? Exactly, but with a skirt I don’t have to worry. For years I had to “sag” my pants or go up in size that would make them sag anyway. In my opinion having your butt cheeks hanging out of you pants seems like a way of offering them up or wanting people to see them similarly to how a woman would expose herself in revealing garments is clearly wanting to draw attention to those areas. I came to the conclusion by way of practicality that skirts were the answer. As for it being feminine that’s really up to the wearer of the skirt. I’m not pairing it with “female” cut and designed shirts because they were made for a low muscle structure and breasts so it is to be expected that would look feminine right? There is a clear difference between someone who is being comfortable and secure in themselves verses someone wanting to BE a woman. It is in my experience that men who deny the opportunity to express themselves due to insecurities and social stigmas actually develop more homosexual tendencies than secure individuals not afraid to cross the invisible borders of fashion. As for acceptance, women as a majority love it, some think it’s weird but don’t have anything bad to say about it. Men usually look confused, chuckle or looked relieved because they too have desired such freedom as well.

I can’t wait for the day when men can dress with any piece of clothes without being judge. I too like to wear feminine clothes that fits me better and more comfortable than male clothes.
Maybe some of us get together and start an anual “no pants day for men” to wear skirts instead.

Skirts are much more comfortable, there are skirts with pockets and cargo kilts. it’s to bad that many women say no, whilst the skirt is by origin a man’s garment.

I am a shameless clothes hound! My wife and I love to go shopping together. Presently, I have around 30 skirts of varying length and fabric, to be able to dress for all seasons. I have about that many blouses also. We are fortunate to live in a fairly remote area with a number of acres of land, so I’m free to go out and about on our property. We live in a very conservative area of the country, and I wouldn’t be willing to be out in public in a skirt. Possibly being attacked would not be an unreasonable concern. Still, with that said, I love to wear a nice skirt!

I think pants are much more practical since they have pockets. I do not want to be carrying a bag or backpack wherever I go. It is much more practical to wear pants or shorts because they habe pockets. I wear jeans in the winter, and cargo shorts in the summer. I would wear a skirt if they found a way to put pockets in them (and they became fashonable for men).

Everywhere we’re talking about climate change, in science-magazines people talking about wearing “cool clothes” (fabrics) and make your body feel comfortable. Is there any little piece of clothes around in this world which could a male body fit better than a skirt or dress?
I don’t think so, but if you can find any please let me know because nor scientist or me couldn’t find it yet. And, using our common sense a little bit, nothing is more comfortable for female and male than skirted garments. Humans in our past knew that already, but our sometimes twisted kind of thinking can’t understand it what might be good for the body. Cultural shifts helped creating new ways of dressing, but sometimes we should look to that what is best for body and mind and not just following a mass-hystery that men have to wear something which was good 200 years ago when the Industrial Revolution demanded a better security for the body and put men in pants. We are over that, but a lot of people do not see it and still keeping in their mind the false stigma that pants are male clothes and skirts female. Nothing is right, and we are unable to follow our last part of instinct to make our body feel good and healthy – a sad situation.
Only real men which are on their own feet standing in the world make the difference and follow a new “TREND” which not knew but it will be a new way of understanding of clothes. Not pants or skirts are a piece of a sex, both are a piece of clothes and everybody can use it – everybody, female and male, in their own way.
So, what is holding men back?

I do not understand that men have problems to wear skirted garments. Not so long ago skirts, tunics, etc. were a “normal” piece of clothes for men.
All what we’re making up with “female” or “male” clothes is a thing (nobody can identify exactly what it is) in our heads divide clothing in parts. And, it is only for men where the restrictions are being held. We call that equal and a that is a big lie.
Almost all clothes are already adopted out of men’s closets for WOMEN. Huh? Even leggings, nothing else than the long underwear for men new designed. Pantyhose? Yes, men wore that in Europe during the 30-year war 1634 first time. Any questions?
Men just have to go with the new fashion stream and be confident with it – wearing skirts and men-dresses.

First of all…. Skirts were worn first by men. But it doesn’t matter today. Yes, skirts are the most comfortable garment they could wear. It seems that people becoming more open minded and accept it that men should have the same right to wear whatever they want. Restrictions are enough around. Skirt-wearing men should just approach their goal to be a very special kind of male which are able to express themselves.
And, skirts could become mainstream, but men have to go for it. Mainstreaming is just a way to do, wearer act in a certain way, it does not fall from sky, just men can do it…..NOW.

Oh let’s see, let me count the skirts I have. My first skirt purchase was probably a little too out there, a stretch nylon/poly tennis shirt that was a tad too short for anything other than dashing from the bedroom to the kitchen for coffee. My second purchase added a few inches, I think it was another tennis skirt, or perhaps soccer skirt, which i used for the same type of activities. I did venture out to the market once while wearing the one of the tennis skirts, and encountered a friend while shopping the veggie aisle. I was devastated that in my own eye I probably looked ridiculous in the mini-skirt length wrap. Next i purchased the first of three Mountain Hardwear Mountain Kilt’s that I now own. I wear those mostly anytime not work related when I would otherwise wear jeans. I now also have two Skirtcraft skirts, and what I guess is a ’70’s vintage (made-for-women) kilt by Jantzen sportswear found at a second hand store. As a man I really appreciate skirts that have pockets and belt loops. Heavier materials seem to drape well and don’t pose the expose risk from a puff of the breeze that a lighter skirt might present. My wife and kids think it is queer that I like skirts, but I guess part of my mission is to give them an opportunity to reform their tendency to judge others on some sort of normal scale. The fact that I am bisexual does not help that cause, lol. I do struggle a bit trying to pair my footwear with my skirts. I don’t like on me the look of most boots with my skirts, and don’t like looking like a catholic school girl with knee high stockings and loafers below the hemlines. A time or two I have worn long underwear or leggings with my skirt. Anyway, that’s where I am now. I have a feeling that the chicken-and-egg dynamic prevents many more men from stepping into skirts… If more men did it then they would join in and give it a try. But until then, the inertia dominates. I have finally healed from most of my own “internal homophobia” about wearing skirts in public, and it really helps me to know that when other men see me there is a percentage of them who will themselves be inched forward in venturing out one day. Darn, I wrote too much. Cheers to all. Matt
