Someday, when I have money, I'm buying my husband one of these. And then I think I'll buy him some sexy boots to go with it.

And thank you to whomever for the Skirt Cafe reference. It turns out there are several online communities for men who advocate kilt-wearing on a daily basis. I had never heard of such a thing. I love women's fashion, but until now, I'd always found men's fashion boring. Silly me.

Why does the best outfit in each of those links involve what appear to be breasts? That's a conspiracy, that is.

If I'm buying teats they can wear their own clothes, thankyou. Am I not a manly nonqueer utilikilt-wearing type?

Oh, wait.

Seriously, people, just go shop in the women's section of yer local clothing shop. They've got a wider selection of everything than any mens' section'll have, the people servicing the dept. are far more aware and useful than you'll likely find in the mens', and besides, there's more skirts and dresses there. And better shoes.

Just remember, wear a long skirt if you aren't going to wear underwear. Unless you don't mind people (a) checking you out as inawkwardly but noticeably as they can, and/or (b) getting horribly pissed at you and possibly throwing things because you've scarred their mental pictureviewer.

Men, another tip, if sitting whilst wearing a skirt, keep your legs together or crossed because otherwise you will revela man-minge.

Personally, as a man, I don't feel I need to freed from the tyranny of pants. I can't envisage myself wearing anything but trousers or possibly shorts on a very sunny day.

However, I would like to be able to walk around dressed in traditional skinhead garb without being accused of being a racist..............

A friend of mine who's very fond of ridiculous blanket statements, likes to remind people that 'civilisation starts when you put on pants.' He maintains skirts, dresses, and sarongs are only for partying or committing crimes.

I tend to tell him 'one must be ready for anything' and leave on whatever I'm dressed in.

Yeah, those Romans with their girly skirts weren't big on civilization...
