      Old man here. I wear a kilt every day, I don’t even own pants anymore. I call it a skirt because it makes other people uncomfortable in the best sort of way. Fuck 'em if they don’t like it.

      Quite literally why kilts, the Arabic Thawb, etc are a thing, it is the superior form for mobility and temperature regulation.

      Weird western purtian ideals made pants/trousers the social norm, which only make sense in cold winter climates.

        Now I know what the garment is that’s called thawb.
        Neat to know.

        Besides

        which only make sense in cold winter climates.

        Guess where GB and most of west-nothern europe is located climate-wise.
        In Germany, the time which could make a skirt useful, are about 1-2.5 months out of 12 months.
        Every other day outside of late June to early September are cold, wet and uncomfortable.

      The only thing that matters is that it’s socially acceptable to yourself.

      As a dude (albeit a queer one) with a lot going on down there… I wear ankle length skirts in the summer time all the time. Super comfortable, doesn’t stick to my legs like pants do, still get the breeze passing over me like shorts do, and my junk breathes like it is inhaling oxygen for fun.

        Sort of interested how that looks.
        Are you comfortable with posting a pic just from below?

        If not I have two questions (if you don’t fel comfortable, it’s totally fine to not respond):

        • Do you have hairy legs or a very noticeable hair color (e.g. dark hair)
        • Is your body build muscular or lean
        • Is your body build leaning femine, masculine or androgyn?
