Stickers for men in skirts

Post by Chip »

I had a hard time finding modern symbols for men in skirts, so I created some stickers. Obviously getting out there and wearing a skirt is the best thing we can do, but I think stickers can be a sign that there's a movement, or momentum, behind the thing.

I'm curious what people think :)

I also made a video showing why and the how the stickers came to be, over here: https://everybodyskirts.com/blogs/posts ... came-to-be

Good to see you here. I’ve been following you on Instagram along with some of the guys you have featured on your site (including Chris from London).

Not sure that I would have any use for stickers, but maybe others will (will be interesting to see the feedback).

I think that the way to get something accepted as normal is to treat it as normal, not draw attention to it or preemtively justify it. I never feel embarrassed wearing a skirt but I would in the presence of someone with such a sticker. Sorry but you did ask.

Be careful with the Doc Brown image, especially if selling these online... May run afoul of copyright issues.

I get what you mean about wearing skirts without any kind of showiness, or justification. For me, the stickers aren't a way to preemptively justify wearing skirts but to signal that there's a growing movement. Instead of people wondering if you 'lost a bet', or if you're a one-off guy in a skirt.

For others, it might be a way to show solidarity or spark conversation.

And I'm sure some will put stickers on posts or signs in high visibility areas, to make people think.

But yeah, everyone has their own way of normalizing things - appreciate your thoughts! (shadowfax too)

I have similar feelings to all the T-Shirts I have either advertising something or saying something witty. Most of the time I want a plain shirt with my outfit doing the talking.

When I brought a Utilikilt, they also had T-Shirts available, proclaiming you were wearing a Utilikilt.

I want to be supportive of encouraging skirt wearing. But, I am wearing a skirt, I don't need permission from anybody, so others can do as I am doing, if they want to.
Daily, a happy man in a skirt...

I kind of like the idea of putting them "on posts or signs in high visibility areas, to make people think." but mostly I feel wearing a sign about skirts is implying they have to be justified, and maybe we are a bit kooky, weird, un-heathen, or worse --whereas my demeanor carries that it is totally fine and normal, without any sign or gimmick. I also tend to not promote things -- I've seen many a shirt or hat I liked, but they carry some big bold Logo -- and I'll be damned if I am going to advertise for some garment manufacturer, business, or cause not my own. Nor do I need to establish my worth by wearing a designer label. Placing your stickers in places other than on our person --- may have some merit. Thanks for the contributions -- some folks, I'm sure will find the stickers just their cup of tea.

I'm the same. I used to love logos on my t-shirts in high school, but can't stand them now. I cringe when companies put big brand logos in highly visible parts of the garment.

I'm more tolerant when it comes to the odd sticker on an item.

Appreciate the feedback :)

And I agree with you on wearing logos on t-shirts, hats, etc. I like the water bottle for sticker placement because when I'm out, I often put my water bottle down and it's not always with me. And yeah, technically I have the brand name 'Everybody Skirts' as one of the stickers, but I only included it because it's a message in an of itself, similar to the other stickers.

I would remove the hair from the legs on the sticker. Most women that I have asked do not want to see hairy legs. Otherwise it is excellent!
