Skirts for men??

[JPPT1974]

I go into a bookstore and this guy though American has Scottish roots and wears Scottish skirts like those of the Mel Gibson movie in Braveheart!

Guess it just depends on the man and the skirt.

THEY'RE CALLED KILTS PEOPLE!!!! lol - sorry person of Scottish roots here!!!

Not only Scottish though, Irish too. I'm not sure if the (native) Celts in France wore them though, but possibly. Oh and of course the Anglo-Saxons adopted them as well.

I still got the manly legs to pull it off.

 

[bellantara]

It's fine when you have the legs. Too many don't and wear kilts anyway!

kilts on scots, robes on those whose society, religion, tradition dictates the wearing of skirted garments -fine. But i don't think i could ever take it seriously as a 'fashion' choice. I'm just picturing the burly builders next door, working in floral skirts!

Ditto. It would just be too weird. Just thinking of some of my male family members (rather "macho" men) and some of the other guys I know in skirts is making me chuckle.

 

[beetlequeendiva]

admittedly men in like floral patterned skirts would be a REALLY awful fashion choice and it would look downright weird!!! LOL. However some men in kilts - especially Mel Gibson in Braveheart - make me go weak at the knees

 

[Psalms34]

Now if you want to be accurate concerning who wore skirts, it wasn't the native western Europeans with the kilts, the Romans did in fact ware what is referred to as skirts.

Hey people in Scotland wear skirts and some are men!!

Kilts seem masculine enough. I'd consider wearing one, matched with other traditional Scottish garb.


But, rest assured, I won't be wearing a miniskirt anytime soon (floral patterned or not)!

I am now in the middle of the issue after reading all the posts. I think I'll wait and see how the trend goes with mainstream society first.

Betcha that you would look good in one!!

I see absolutly no problem with men wearing skirts or kilts. They are definately more comfortable on the warmer days.

Mel Gibson wore skirts at the 1996 Oscars with his tuxedo!!
