Since when skirts are only restricted only for women? Now men with skirts seem to be a good idea for fashion. But there are some questions for men in skirts. Well, cultural seems t be a huge issue. Other than that, female’s legs looks way better than us. Highheels are definitely not for men, but what should we wear? The question goes on and on.
Real men DO wear skirt and dresses, just what is taking the fashion so long, need to get the skirt in Penneys, Wal-Mart where men can get them
they ned to put them in stores for men i think that would sell alot of them remember where equial now
No! looks weird
Just a thought, found it as a comment. Personally an absolute YES for men i n skirts.
Skirts for men will only catch on when men become as brave, strong, determined, and self confident as women are. Women are not afraid to speak and act on whatever is on their minds. One of the many side effects of that is women can wear whatever they choose. Men basically are cowards who lack self confidence, and only gain their confidence and strength by
what other men and women tell them and dictate to them. One of the many side effects is that regardless of what a man truly wants to wear and would be comfortable wearing, he wears what he is told to wear because he is afraid of other people and what they might think, say or do. Men like to claim they are the stronger and braver sex, but in reality they are weaklings and followers who do exactly what is expected of them. While that may not have been the case in days of old, clearly today women are the stronger, braver, bolder, and more confident sex, and are enjoying the benefits.
There is nothing more comfortable than wearing a skirt or dress on a hot day or evening or to an event where the air gets hot and stuffy because of a lot of people for the space provided. And men need it for their body like women or even more as women.
Even if you have to or want to wear stockings to dress or skirt it is still much more comfortable than any kind of pants, and looking much nicer. Yes, stockings make legs looking more aesthetic and elegant, and most men will need it because of hairy legs. Shorts are not an alternative to skirts, a skirt is just unique and he is for everybody, and never was just a women’s garment.
Men, be as brave, bold, and self confident as women; forget about what you think other people expect and demand; never start estimating what other people might think of you because they really don’t care what are you doing and very important: Be your own person, and make yourself happy and comfortable; start wearing whatever you believe comfortable in now you will be, and stop waiting for someone else to start the trend so you can wear it without fear. Gain the power and freedom of women. Be a real man and stop procrastinating!”
nothing wrong with it… men in kilts looks definitely sexy… but with these photo here… mmm given the right color tones and texture…it’s should look good with men… trance music days have given way on black slit skirts…really hot!
Just want to say that is really a very good idea given men skirts instead pants to wear. Why should men stand behind? No reason visible. So lets help men up to get their new dressing way.
Yes, I also think men will looking more sexy in skirts than pants. I understand that some men could have problems with their shoes. Why not high heels, not women’s style, but manly style?

As said, men looking fabolous in skirts. Nothing to add but MEN, TRY IT!!! You’ll never look back after you wore it.
I started wearing skirts in February 2002. Had purchased a kilt in 2001, thinking I’d shrink down enough to wear it, but, after 6 months of planning, the shrinkage never occured. So, I decided to just start picking up skirts @ thrift shops and off of eBay. Since my family is conservative, I tended to avoid wearing them @ home due to negative reactions that I received, instead, finding a place to change into one, then wearing it in public. At first, I was fairly self-conscious, and it showed, since a few people did give me strange looks or would laugh. After a couple weeks, my confidence built up, and the strange looks and laughter stopped for the most part. Every once in a while, I would get a negative response, but, that was it.
In August of that year, I decided to pick up a kilt that actually fit my body. That was acceptable to my family. After that, I went from someone who wore jeans 90% of the time, to someone who wore them about 5% of the time. Also, the kilt seemed to help clean up my look, since I no longer was bumming around in holey t-shirts that weren’t tucked in, greasy jeans, etc. Over the years, I’ve added a couple more tartan kilts, then had a few Utilikilts. In 2004, I finally was able to get the ok to skirt @ home, so the skirts that I wore in 2002 publicly were finally allowed @ home. Around the same time, I started publicly wearing normal skirts every once in a while, usually still donning a kilt, since it was less of an issue…
Six months ago, I decided that I would split my wardrobe between skirts in masculine colors and kilts, and wear them daily. Haven’t had any adverse reactions from the family, if I go out and run errands, or commute to college while skirted. So, I think I won my battle. Is also a relief during the summer months, since 9 yards of wool does get rather hot, when compared to a polyester or cotton lightweight skirt.
Anyway, my advice to guys who are thinking about trying it, is to go for it. I do recommend talking it over with a spouse or girlfriend, though, since you might run into issues if you start skirting on a whim. But, the general public won’t care.
I am going with the new fashion trend for men, finally something different to wear.
It is sad that we have to discuss if it is appropriate for men to wear skirts and dresses. Did we discuss was is appropriate to wear for women? It’s a pitiful sign of in-equality of sexes. And some men and women do not see the reality what is really going on with that.
Of course, men can wear skirts and dresses, and I am not looking in the past when men wore it, just a little bit common sense and everybody knows that thhere is no better wardrobe available which fits best for males body shape. So, why the questions? What is more important, health and comfort in contrast to old fashion imagination? Can’t wait to see some answers to my question.
In case high heels: Well I dont like it too much because I love my feet, but if somebody what to wear heels….. why not? High heels are a kind of wardrobe for the feet, it does not have any to do with sexes/gender. In contrast: First wearer of high heels were men to look taller, and taller guys were more powerful and more powerful were associated with more sexy image. Questions?

Just look over your fence and see the wonderful world. There are so many options for men now, but men have to take advantage. It doesn’t help to cry for more equality, men must take it, that’s all.
Why is it questioned what men can wear? Who will judge that? Who on this world can regulate what people can wear, want to wear and what they like to wear? Some people say it is the culture. No, it is not because everybody creates a part to a culture.
And society? No, everybody is a part of the society, and everybody can change a society.
