What do you think of running skirts or hiking skirts for men? Is this a new trend? ?

Question

I have seen some men wearing them in some running events and on hiking trails. Men and women what do you think? Would you mind if your husband or boyfriend wore one hiking or running?

Answer 1

I think the idea of non-Scottish men wearing skirts or kilts is just crazy.

Answer 2

I guess you're referring to the Spartan Utilikilt:

I haven't seen anyone wear them, but I think its a good idea.  Women wear pants and other men's clothes because back in the 40's and 50's they challenged social convention.  Society thought these women were trying to act like men, or that it was morally wrong to wear them.  They were not allowed in schools, in churches or professional settings.  Of course, nowadays, women can wear them anywhere.  It is a freedom that women enjoy that men still cannot share.

I encourage all men to challenge social convention and wear whatever clothes they like.  They can still maintain their masculinity and still wear a dress or skirt.  If I was a man I would do it.  I think it would be fun just to see the reaction from others.  I bet you'd get more positive reactions than negative ones.  

This is about freedom people.  Its time for society to accept a greater tolerance for men in skirts.  Free all men from the tyranny of trousers.

Answer 3

I would recommend not calling them skirts; Scotsmen wear kilts, maybe that would be a good thing to call them.
