I used to wear a kilt everyday. It was vastly more comfortable and cooler than pants and even shorts. You had much more freedom of movement as well, you weren't restricted at all. If I could afford one, I'd wear one again. The only problem is office work. The only really office appropriate kilt I know of is the Utilikilt. And it's expensive. Other than that, I'd wear one every day. Besides, it's easier to be caught with your kilt up, than with your pants down.

For the love of God, can we stop blurring the lines between the sexes?

Polynesian men have worn "skirts" for centuries; Samoan men wear lavalavas, Hawaiian men wear malos; Tongan, Fijian, Maori, and other men of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia have worn what many westerners might consider a skirt; but these items of clothing are simply pieces of cloth that cover a person's private areas. They are comfortable and allow a great deal of motion and freedom from the all-too confining conventions of modern day clothing.

Aloha.

Leave it to the French...

And let's not rule out lamp shades, and flower pots, and armour - you haven't seen a lot of armour on men these days, and the sign, men should be allowed to wear a sign: "I not only looke stupid, I AM stupid."

Native dress has traditionally been some kind of skirt for both sexes in tropical climates. In arctic climates, both sexes wore trousers. Historically, in temperate zones, men were more likely to wear trousers and women skirts. I've seen men wearing kilts at Scottish gatherings, but since few of them grew up wearing them, some fellows didn't know how to sit or move modestly. Many men wearing summer shorts look kind of funny. Why do they think they'd look good in skirts? If I were to design a new style for both men and women to wear, it would be a comfortable shirt worn underneath a smock or jumper that hangs loosely from the shoulders. It's the tight constraint around the waist and hips that makes many conventional garments uncomfortable.

There is nothing sexier than a guy in a kilt and the Utilikilt is just the best! The title of this article, of course, is misleading. There are differences between a women's dress and a man's kilt or the like. From the way it's stitched, to the print and type of material used. Calling these types of clothing "skirts" is just a popular and tongue-in-cheek way to poke fun at people.

Another one of those silly little conventions that we accept blindly, until someone questions them. There's no reason men can't wear whatever they like, and a skirt of some kind has been traditional male wear for many centuries. It sure seems like it'd be more comfortable for them.

Any man who wears a skirt with black socks, hairy legs and tennis shoes certainly isn't trying to show his feminine side, cross dress or advertise he's gay. Go for it guys! When you all start waxing and painting your toe nails, then I'll worry about it.

I dont think any persons prefered style of dress does or should say anything about how feminine or masculine they are, when you stop and think about the types of garments worn around the world, loose fitting flowing garments are worn in alot of countries by men and women, they tend to be cooler and less restrictive. As a woman, I cannot stand the restrictiveness of wearing a dress with the hose and heels that is standard here, However, I have several sarongs that I love to wear especially in the warmer months with a pair of sandals, I have never worn one out without getting many compliments on how nice I look. If a man makes a choice to wear a kilt or other cultural type "skirt" every one else should butt out, If you dont like it DONT LOOK.

I wish they would come into fashion, I would wear one often. They look really comfortable.

can i wear a claymore or broad sword with it too? isnt society supposed to ADVANCE? i guess darwin was wrong. and btw, all the cultures that still have men wearing "skirts" are still primitive for a reason.

How is a "skirt" blurring the lines between the sexes? Kilts were worn for centuries in Scotland by MEN who were reputed to be the fiercest warriors. Attend a Highland Games or Scottish festival, and you will no longer have any question whatsoever that a man in a kilt is anything but manly. OH, and P.S. If a guy wants to wear a SKIRT or a KILT or any other "effeminate" article of clothing... why should it bother anyone else, and why on earth should they have to ASK PERMISSION? Let's all worry about more important things. I shouldn't have to list them...

Kilts aside (I don't consider them skirts) Rupert from "Survivor" showed that a man can get away with wearing a skirt and still be manly, lol. Seriously, wear the skirts if you want, I really don't care!

Blurring of the sexes...? You can't tell the difference between a man and a woman if they both wear skirts...? Yours might be a vision problem, rather than a social one.

wtfSERIOUSLYwtf:

open your mind, broaden your horizons. it's people like you that cause narrow viewpoints.

do you also oppose men with earrings?

seriously....

Geesh, who cares. Let the men wear what they want to wear!!!

We're such a gay nation

No zipper... easier to pee and poo.

if kids can wear their pants around their hips showing off their undies, men should be able to at least wear a kilt ... i love skirts/dresses -- very comfortable & cool ...

I see lines I see power .. CLOSE YOUR LEGS I SEE THE EIFFEL TOWER.

That's not attractive. I don't care how comfortable it is compared to pants. Women like men because they are MEN -- not cross-dressers.

I'm not prejudiced. I'm gay. Call it what you will, but unless you're Scottish, it's a skirt and you look ridiculous wearing it. Period.

Only attractive girls should be allowed to wear skirts.

It's odd I think when we say "wearing a skirt." Now kilt on the other hand...that's hot!!
