Getting Compliments in Skirts

Reader Stories: Men in Skirts

From Martinus, 

What type of men's skirts I'd like to see

Manly skirts, skirts which don't have "feminine" style or extraordinary pattern/colors

What type of challenges I've faced wearing skirts

People are always very friendly, strangers greeting, compliments all the time

Why I wear like to wear skirts

Health: I have to wear support-stockings/hose. Wearing those supporters under pants it would make the problem with the legs much more worse. Solution: wearing skirts.

First I did not like the skirts, but after I felt the difference compare to pants I like it now. Wearing skirts for more than 7 years now.

How I got started wearing skirts

See above, after an accident and major problems with my legs.

I remember first day I wore a skirt. I thought all people would look at me, in reality only few did, and everybody liked it. Even in church I got lots of compliments. Some ladies ask me about my stockings and gave some good ideas.
