Poll of the Day > Skirts and dresses are actually awesome

(+) Yeah! (+)

My toxic trait was being staunchly against skirts, dresses, and the color pink because I've always been a huge tomboy -- but I grew out of that phase once I became more confident in myself and realized that those things don't actually define my personality and interests. It was also that skirts and dresses always seemed so impractical. The risk of them getting caught on things or panty shots as I was doing physical stuff was high.

But I recently started wearing them just because sometimes I don't feel like having pants on. Gotta vent that situation out every now and then, you know? And it's wonderful! Long skirts or comfy skorts and I don't have to worry about practicality, either.

Now I firmly believe that men should go back to wearing dresses/tunics/whatever. Women alone should not gatekeep this level of comfort.

ya, if i was a girl I'd be all into pink/black fashion

We really should normalize men wearing skirts if they damned well want to. Skirts are nice; I'd still think so if I were a guy. Heck, I'd wear them more now if my work allowed it.

I will say that when it comes to work, depending on what you do, chances are that pants are just way more practical. Imagine what it would be like to work in healthcare, military, construction, or anything outside wearing a skirt.

There was even a time when it was ILLEGAL for women to wear pants
I don't think a dress code without any purpose should be required at all, whether that entails pants or skirts

I mean dresses and skirtswise. I don't look good in them, I don't have the frame for it.

I have the frame for perfectly square boring suits.

Right, and I'm not saying it's without reason. I work in a kitchen, so there'd safety and sanitation reasons for wearing denim pants. If I was in a better-suited position where the lack of skirts was unreasonable, I'd fight for the comfortable levels of air circulation down there, if you catch my drift.

Skirts are amazing and so much better than pants.

Oh, I catch your drift. That can be pretty hot environment to work in. Gets you s w a m p y

My brother likes his tacti-kilt

agreed they're the comfiest

trousers are more appropriate for some tasks where you need to swing your legs around, but every day wear, robes/skirts/dresses are the best

also love my man in his kilt, best part about rugby season lol
