Kilted Skirts?

[cloves]

As a woman who wears a kilt....I never try to "feminize" them. I know they are men's garments.

There you go, that sounds good.

When and where I grew up, girls, and sometimes women, were wearing trousers or jeans that were basically the same as men's pants. In some cases, actually hand-me-downs from their brothers. They also wore more female-ish clothing. It's just not out of the ordenary to me for women to wear the same clothing as men.

I'm really not worried about women wearing kilted skirts, mini skirts, togas, or anything else for that matter.

Fringes!!

I don't want no soppy fringes!

But as for pleated skirts. BLEGHHHH

Far too skimpy, teeny little pleats, thin material, skinny straps, dainty buckles sewn on with thread a fairy wouldn't trust for hanging her smalls on.

I am far too old to be wearing anything revealing, but at least in something of a good weight, and length and either multiple or deep pleats I can swish along and cut what little dash I can manage these days.

I'm not the sort to wear tights, (or stockings!!!) as I tend to go off road, and I don't take the car. The local vegetation would make an end to anything so delicate in a second.

However, I gather that, as I don't sew down the fell of it, I am not wearing a kilt.

Well, there's lucky.

Have you ever thought (like me) that the long plaid is rather toga-ish?

Yes... But I was laughed at...

I think women can look great in kilts (or kilted skirts, if they prefer them.) But then I am drawn to people who are comfortable and confident.

I've noticed that kind of thing too. Like if someone was always grouchy or angry, their clothing would tend to start looking that way too, but it wasn't really the clothing. I'm thinking back to some of the teachers and people I knew when I was a kid.

Very well then, carry on...

...but...

...BEHAVE!

I often wonder if a shrunken head wouldn't make a good sporran. ??

These days so few women wear skirts I'm just glad to see some legs and knees no matter what kind of skirt they're wearing. But it is true that a traditional kilt can have so much bulk in all those yards of wool that it tends to, um, over-emphasize some aspects of the figure. So kilted skirts, with less material, are just fine.

And LONG LIVE THE MINI-KILT!!

I have always looked on them with disgust. Women have so many other options of skirts to wear, why do they have to try transforming one of the only male-oriented "skirt"-wear into women's wear as well? In my opinion, when a woman tries to wear a kilt as ladies' wear, it IS CROSSDRESSING (unlike what so many other ignoramuses try to tell us kilted men).

I love a woman in a skirt, regardless of the skirt. Also, I've never felt it was my place to tell anyone else what they could or should wear. If it makes you (you meaning anyone out there) happy to wear something, then for God's sake, wear it.

I think it makes it a little harder to wear a kilt knowing that there are women out there who have made it their business to try to make them into skirts.

Honestly, nothing that other people do will affect my actions, or my decision to wear a kilt or not. I'll wear whatever I choose to, and everyone else can deal with it.
