I really am starting to enjoy wearing a skirt. I went out for a walk tonight with a black baseball cap, long sleeved white shirt, black suede skirt and black “suede like” knee high boots. This is a very simple black and white outfit that (if I hold my stomach in) looks great. It is also very comfortable on these warm evenings.

I like the look but I’m still not comfortable meeting people on a dark street at night dressed in a skirt. I don’t have a problem going into a store in the daytime but you never know who is out walking the streets at night. I’m glad my own advice on not becoming complacent kicks in at times like this.

There were several people out tonight and I managed to avoid meeting them. I’m sure they saw me but it was dark enough to avoid details.

Thanks for the concern. I'm pretty sure its a lower back problem. It has bothered me on and off for as long as I can remember. One of the serious medical options that has been offered is, “live with it”. It seems to be getting better (or less worse).

Sorry to hear about your pain problem. Best to see about it now and to find out just what is causing it. It could be caused by more than one thing and a check-up could pin-point the cause.

Mickey and I have made an appointment for me with an arthritis clinic near here to get a good check-up and see what is going on with my joints. I have been having a lot of problems with them and my walk is getting quite eratic so therefore I haven't been able to streetheel for a while. To me, this is terrible and the pain in my knees and hips is getting worse by the day. I can't enjoy streetheeling right now, which is the worst pain of all.
Cheers---

Cool - you're into skirts, now - sweet!

You'll find as you increase your world travels that skirts are the norm for men throughout many countries. See http://www.kiltmen.com/world.htm

While heels for guys is a bit unusual today, it's on the uprise, so give it time.

In the meantime, I wear heels and skirts around the house on a regular basis. In Germany we have no A/C, so the skirts keep me cool (just as they were intended thousands of years ago, alleles willing), and the heels are simply a personal preference as adopted by men on and off over the last 500 years throughout this region.

Hi dr1819,

today the weather in Frankfurt was extremely sultry. Even if not engaged in skirt wearing I wore the whole day a short denim skirt. That's simply the most comfortable clothing at 35 Cel!

I hope we'll see us in Amsterdam :D

@Thigbootguy: I have trained my turkish neighbours by stubborn indulgence :lol: Since weeks I havn't earned any bad comment from immigrants. For them I'm only still the queer big blond guy who is wearing high heels. No comments today on my skirt.

I was out in my white shirt, black suede skirt and black suede like knee boots again tonight. I’m still not 100% comfortable walking around the neighborhood in a skirt and boots. I still think the outfit looks great and it is very comfortable to wear but I’m still haunted by the phrase of my grandmother when I was growing up, “What will the neighbors think?”

That feeling wouldn’t be so strong except for the fact that I’m now living in the same house I grew up in 50 years ago.

Ah once more around the neighborhood in boots and a black suede skirt. Tonight I wore a shiny black blouse with the black skirt and black boots. The contrast is that I’m not wearing hose and my legs show from below the knees to mid calf (short skirt). This outfit looks as good as the white shirt and is just as comfortable. I’m still not ready to meet the neighbors while wearing a skirt so I’m cautious about when and where I go. There is still a lot of drive by traffic and I haven’t noticed anyone paying any attention at all. I do enjoy this look. I’ll have to find somewhere to go out and about in my skirt.

The only time I've worn boots and a skirt in public is when I am Jennifer. I have worn skirts before, and boots under jeans in drab, but never the other way around. Hmm. Sounds like it could be fun.

I had a great time shopping this evening. I stopped at Sam’s Club with a long list, long enough that I needed a flatbed cart. I went in wearing a long sleeved blue dress shirt, a black baseball cap, black opaque hose, a black suede short skirt, and my white leather thigh boots with 5” stiletto heels.

I walked across the parking lot and into the store only to discover that there were no flatbed carts available so I walked back out and across the parking lot to get a cart. I was noticing that lots of folks paying attention to what I was wearing.

I finally got into the store and spent an hour wandering around getting my stuff. Several of the staff greeted me with a pleasant Hi.

When I got to the register area one of the clerks called me to her empty register. I had to help her with some of the heavier items so I was not just standing there while she rang things up. She didn’t seem to take any notice to what I was wearing. When she finished I asked, “Is this too much?, indicating the way I was dressed.

She replied, “Hey that freedom of speech. You can wear anything you want”

I must admit I hadn’t associated fashion freestyling with freedom of speech and while I was thinking about it she said, “but I like it though”.

I thanked her and headed out of the store. When I checked my receipt I realized she had run an item up twice so I headed to the service counter for a refund. I think the lady there had seen me wearing boots before but not a skirt. She treated me like all her customers wore thigh boots and leather skirts.

On the way out the clerk at the exit, who knew me well, asked, “Did they make a mistake again?” (this has happened before)

“Yeah, they rang up an item twice.”

“Well its good that you caught it.”

“I think its this outfit that causes a distraction”

We both laughed and bid each other a good evening.

Out in the parking lot it took a while for me to get all the stuff loaded into the car. Again lots of people seemed to notice what I was wearing but no one said a word.


Tonight I was out in the neighborhood wearing a gray short sleeved T shirt, black baseball cap, black suede short skirt, and dark blue (looks black) leather knee boots. I didn’t meet anyone but there was lots of traffic. The big event was that my sciatic nerve problem seems to be getting a little better.

This has been a fun day!

I’m not quite sure what the “other way around” is boots and a skirt in drab, or boots over jeans. I highly recommend the boots over jeans look. I have been doing that for several years and it is still my favorite look (and I do it with thigh boots with stiletto heels).

What I was saying is that I have worn a skirt in public before, but not with boots. I've worn boots under jeans. Just never put the skirt with the boots - not sure I've got the nuts to pull that one off.

My strongest recommendation is to try boots over jeans. Keep the contrast low, black boots over dark jeans or white boots over white jeans. Contrast is really the thing that attracts attention. I really have gone places wearing black thigh boots over dark blue jeans and had no one notice (and the boots have 5” stiletto heels). I don’t mean the people were polite and didn’t say anything, they really didn’t notice. Sometimes, out of frustration, I have asked people what they thought of my boots and they honestly replied that they hadn't noticed.

As for boots and a skirt, the same concept applies, the less contrast the less attention. I have been wearing the black suede skirt with the black boots but with bare legs. I like the look but I have also worn black hose which takes the contrast to zero. On a dark evening you would have to look closely two or three times to notice the skirt.
