Robert Barr, skirts are cool everywhere because are much more comfortable than trousers. Also most women like men in skirts. Trousers are unhealthy, causes prostate and testicular problems (including cancer and infertility).
Why most men don’t wear skirts outside Scotland?
These aren’t selling so are outside a mianstream. Men usually wear clothes they can buy in near shop and other men wear (neighbours, family members, team members etc.).

@Robert B.; Please don’t say sorry to Marc, he’s still wearing skirts instead pants.
Sorry, but I think you are wrong because of the market. Just not enough demand to come up with men’s skirts, that’s the reason. If mmore men would encourgaed to do what they want, there would be no problem at all. How about you? Want to be the first in Philly? (actually there are two skirt wearers already in the world wide map of male skirt wearers).
That means, they are around you, but still to little.

Skirts are cool in Scotland, but not here in Philly. Sorry Marc, but you are guessing the market on this one.

@ Johnny Pinto;
I think it is not just jump on the band wagon, it is that men learned that not just one kind of clothes – btw it is the worst for his lower body – for men is usuable.
As for me, a long time skirt wearer after an accident which makes it necessary to wear skirt instead pants, it is a question of right consideration what is the best for a body or the health. Men’s skirt are nothing else than a extension of men’s wardrobe which was limited to one thing for the lower body – but only in westernized societies and not counting that round about 60% men on earth still wearing skirts – and fashion designers are at the end what could be designed for men. Pants again? No they are already in use for a very long time, too long.

I am not sure how i feel about men in skirts. My first thought is that Men in Skirts has to do with cultural issues and how some cultures accept it and some do not. Just because Marc decides to wear a skirt, i do not necessarily think that we should all jump on the band wagon and encourage men to wear skirts. Remember Fashion is Fashion and it is a way for society to express themselves. If and when a designer can pull off the skirt for Men then let’s talk.

Bigkid – nothing to add, it is just true. Some stores already offer men’s skirts (H&M some years ago, Parisian this year, Nordstrom 3 years ago) but when men finally go to get one (I tried ist several times) sorry, “they are sold out” or “I don’t know where they are… for sure you’ll find it in women’s department”.

On the other hand: Stockings, tights and pantyhose-factories already make the difference. Check out the label, when it show’s “Women’s” or “Lady’s” Pantyhose they are really for females, but most pantyhose and tights are sold as “Pantyhose” or “Stockings”, that is the sign they are unisex [unfortunately most people don't know], even there are legs or the half lower body – it is not a secret that 40% of legs shown with nice pantyhose MEN’s legs. Wondering?

yes, why don`t they put them in stores for men and in the mens department not womens department, every thing like that is always put in to the womens department we should have them label for men to same as womens panties they should be package up in mens packages for men. stocking what ever men want, why should the women have it the way they want they wear mens clothes. hope to see skirts and all that inthe stores like walmart,kamart target. hope real soon to.

My loved husband wore a skirt first time, a 17 inch kilt. After he put it on he blushed up first, but short after he want to go out with it “I’m in the mood to do it right now”. He was shopping but he did not go to our nearest grocery store. He came back excited. “Everybody liked me in my skirt, and I feel wonderful in it”.
As Michelle O. said: Wear what you love. Find your spot. Find your space. That’s it, happend in Michigan. I’ll see whats next with him. I enjoyed his adventure too, and I think I will assist him buying the next skirt for him.
