Anything knee length to maxi depending on the weather and practicality at the time. My 'go to' skirt is a 28" denim midi which I wear with a slip and ankle socks in summer or a fluffy petticoat and above knee socks in winter.

In hot weather, 11" to 15" is best for me. (Of course, in more casual settings, 0" is better.) When it's cold, I prefer long skirts, but not so long that I step on them.

Re: Your Favorite Skirt Length?
Anywhere just above the knee up to where my fingertips are when my arms are at my sides is my preferred length. I'll go a bit shorter in winter with leggings though. Longer skirts just don't feel as masculine to me when I try one on in the mirror.
Re: Your Favorite Skirt Length?
Another unanswerable question -- so I'll skirt the question.... "Favorite" is a horrible word -- it implies exclusivity. My skirts run from short enough one must have undergarments, and even those may still show; to floor dragging; with the preponderance somewhere between mid thigh and mid-calf -- but none are favorites solely on length. So many factors enter my 'choice' of the day, event, time, weather, mood, availability.... I suppose there are skirts that are "universal" in that they can be worn almost anywhere, anytime -- the "cop-out skirt"; mostly the skirt version of the uninspired, dull, non-noticeable pair of blue-jeans; but though that may be 'easy' is about the furthest cry from preferred or favorite a man seeking to escape the regimented conformity of pants would aspire to. Thus, I guess the answer is the length of the one that has met all of the criteria noted above and more!

At 6'2"(1.88m) I have a number of kilts at 25" length, a couple of modified Macabi skirts at 27" and some Regular/Long Macabis at 36/39". All are worn from time to time.
Re: Your Favorite Skirt Length?
For me, too short is impractical;it makes sitting uncomfortable. Most of my dresses are from just below the knee to mid calf, although I have longer and shorter ones.
My skirts, on the other hand, tend to be just above or on the knee. It’s probably because I wear skirts in different situations than I do with dresses.

Re: Your Favorite Skirt Length?
I wear my skirts low waist (where my jeans and shorts ride). For me, I tend to wear skirts no longer than 14-15” with the majority of them being 12” micro kilts/ mini skirts.

Re: Your Favorite Skirt Length?
I have skirts at everything between fairly short denim minis down to floor length, and I really couldn't say I had a favourite length. It depends on how I feel, and what the temperature is!
Re: Your Favorite Skirt Length?
New kilt arrived Monday in the post. It is a SportKilt "Hiking Kilt" in a Black Watch Weathered tartan. It is very well made and at 18" in length it is the perfect length for me. It is already among my favorites - and I'll be wearing it out car-shopping in another hour or so.

Calf length for me.

Re: Your Favorite Skirt Length?
My user name says Skirts 18 to 20 inches. All my kilts are at that length. My skirts range from 13 to 18 inches. So I guess 13 to 20 is what I wear. I like them all. Prefer my skirts a little shorter than my kilts.
Re: Your Favorite Skirt Length?
My skirts range from 17 to 22"
My most worn skirts are 18 to 20" range, with the 20" reaching just above my knees. These lengths are about the same as the shorts I used to wear before I switched to skirts a few months ago.
