Rediscover the Skirt
A celebration of the skirt as an item of clothing that seems to be going out of favour. An item of clothing equally suited to men and women.
I have been wearing skirts at home whenever I liked for many years, But thanks to the internet, I soon discovered that I was by no means alone. So, timidly at first, I tried wearing a skirt in public, in quiet locations initially, like country walks.
Seeing that the odd person I encountered usually didn't notice, or didn't care, I became more confident, and now go almost anywhere wearing an appropriate skirt.
By appropriate, I mean if you like the look of your outfit in the mirror and it feels right for the occasion, fine. If it jars, or just doesn't look quite right, I don't go out in it.
A few basic points are worth
mentioning:
Men don't need permission to wear
skirts, any more than women need permission to wear trousers (at
least here in the UK)
just do it and see what happens
(probably nothing)
you could start with a kilt, but
the usual questions like “what do you wear underneath?” and
“what tartan is that?”, and the cost and weight of the thing,
will quickly cause you to consider a utility kilt.
Better. Avoids the silly
questions, and has pockets, but still quite heavy and expensive.
Cargo skirts (girls ones, found in
charity shops and on eBay for £5 or less) were to me the best
kind of skirt to start out wearing in public. Felt like I was
wearing cargo shorts, so felt natural, with all those useful
pockets.
I've since also worn denim skirts,
usually about knee-length, black leather skirts, and even colourful
patterned ones.
So why not give it a try?
