Are UGs An Endangered Species?

**flyrod6057** · 23rd July 13, 11:46 PM

Of the four in my family (wife, son, daughter, and yours truly) I seem to be the most frequently unbifurcated. My daughter opts for a skirt only for formal affairs, and my wife rarely dons a dress or skirt. My son will be kilted as soon as the tartan arrives and I get his kilt stitched, so that's a good thing. Alas...how sad when the lads kilt and the lasses opt for pants...

I like both type of UGs

Well, I once went to eat (kilted) in a restaurant and the waitress, after complimenting me, said that she wears a skirt or a dress twice a year!

I think, at least here in France, this latest generation (the Xbox/Facebook generation) are killing off this mode of dress. I saw a tv program the other day where the young girls (14/15 years of age) were being badly thought of (as being "morally loose") and even outright insulted (usually by the Young lads around the same age) for wearing skirts or dresses.

Certainly, there are fewer UGs worn by women in England than in former times, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they are an endangered species over here. I'll make a careful survey next time I'm out and about (!), but there may be some differences according to age-group. I think older women are more likely to wear skirts than younger people around these parts.

You know, I think Hayden is a very attractive young woman, but it's in spite of that awful footwear, not because of it.

The dress, however, is quite cute on her.

I think it's pushing the limits to call that a dress. It looks more like she left the house in her nightie.

(Not sayin' it's bad, mind...)

Did my own informal survey this morning.
Part 1: observation - no more than one in ten females wearing UGs.
Part 2: question "How often do you wear a dress/skirt" - The responses ranged from once every two weeks to once a year or so.
Part 3: question "When to wear a dress/skirt" - Formal occasions or special events (weddings, etc).

One lady, when asked, said she couldn't remember the last time she wore a skirt -- but was wearing one at the time - lol.

I prefer the look of a woman n a skirt or a dress when weather permits it. One word...curves.

I have to admit, Bren, that I prefer the look of a woman in a skirt or a dress, but if you want to see curves tight, close to the body trousers on a woman let you see more of them. Believe me, I've done extensive research on the subject.
