The man's kilt is too short. Should be at least knee length to midi length IMHO.

Re: Maxi Kilt?
Fact is this whole thread is about kilted skirts, it has nothing to do with The Kilt as it's accepted these days.

Too short to be a PROPER KILT, but looks comfortable and decent to me.skirtpettiman wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2026 2:18 pm The man's kilt is too short. Should be at least knee length to midi length IMHO.

Re: Maxi Kilt?
If I wasn’t so overweight I’d wear a kilt at that length. I just need to lose the weight and I’d buy a short kilt.
My name is Arty. I’m a guy with a passion for wearing skirts, dresses and tights and a hobbiest musician and artist.

Above the knees for me, but not as short as the tartan skirt the iman is wearing. 10 cm/3-4" longer would be fine.

In general, I like the picture. I agree that the 'gents' skirt is WAY too short.
IMHO, his skirt should be at the knee or about 1 inch above the knee, MAX.
With a skirt being that short, a person would be showing off tomorrows
laundry with just a light breeze of wind
I like the pattern but, No Thanks
Just my $.02 worth

Re: Maxi Kilt?
The search term for garments like shown in the OP is 'hostess kilt' or 'hostess skirt'.
Regarding the AI image, the skirt does not look too short to me, the top and bottom of the outfit is proportional in length. Women would wear 'safety shorts' with such a skirt if they were concerned about exposure.
The whole 'men's kilts must be knee length' thing is really dumb. People's bodies are proportioned differently, not all skirt lengths look right on all people.
