Re: Sightings "in the wild"

Please do not use the term "man-bun". It is just a "bun". When women wear a bun, we don't call it a "woman bun". It is just a bun. Terms like "man-bun" are actually harmful to obtaining fashion equality for men. We do not have to differentiate things as for m...

Re: Sightings "in the wild"

Downtown Toronto for a show this evening. Saw a young (early 20s?) man on a skateboard with a knee length flowing skirt. Muted black & blue colours, but with a polkadot type pattern. Also his hair in a small "man-bun".

In general he looked right at home - great to see!

Re: everybodyskirts.com

Thank you for highlighting this! I'm just starting to dig into the skirtcafe history, having recently joined, but hadn't come across a reference to "everybody skirts.com" yet.

I agree, it's a good resource!

Re: Skirtcraft sale

Excellent! Thanks for the recommendation. I just had a look at the website - these look similar to what I've been looking for, and it's nice to see businesses marketing skirts for both men and women, since they are so versatile in fit. It also makes it easier for me to "sell" the idea of m...

Hi all! I just recently came across this community and I’m very interested in digging into some of these threads and conversations to learn more! Who am I? I’m a middle aged man, working in a male dominated, technical engineering field. I’ve been interested in skirts for years, but it hasn’t been un...

I had to quickly vote in this poll before I get bumped into the 50+ age bracket. :) I'm curious to know if the lower numbers of younger folk here are because ther...
