Cool! Nobody seems to make such a big deal on this side of the pond over harvest festival Perhaps we should

Good luck on getting to 25 micha "Today I 'ave mostly been wearing, UNFIORM"

I wore this last night: Black long sleeved top Ankle lenght black denim skirt Black knee high boots with 2 1/2" heels The female friend I was out with said we both got some looks

Mmm... estrogen is powerful stuff, and men have it in their blood too! And yes, I can understand girly talk, even though i'm a bloke! Not all your female wiles escape all us guy's you know

Any opinion I put on this forum is just that my opinion! It does not reflect the view of the MOD or the RAF (my employer) And of course, I cannot say anything with regard to intreps I have read in the execution of my duties (read into this what you may)

Long haired wig, black and purple Short leather skirt White blouse Black strappy shoes with 3 1/4 heel Purple Nails Dark makeup Black 3/4 length coat Well, I am off to the Rocky Horror tonight so it's allowed

All it will take is one or two role models, the kind of men considered to be supremely masculine, to wear these sorts of clothes, and rest as they say will follow

After all, most fashion lovers are dedicated Followers of fashion (or uniform, it depends on your point of view )

This is exactly my train of thought, all it will take as a few brave companies to show there is a profit to be made and then lots more companies will join in, as it is, some niche companies have already started marketing less conservative clothing for men, river island for example. They have already got a line of hipster boot-cut jeans for men, and I recently bought a top which is embroidered and has a slight ruffle around the cuffs and waist which was until recently the preserve of womens tops So there is some movement in the menswear market already, suggesting that a more "feminine" style is marketable

strife

My apologies about the above being exclusively about skirts on an hh board but I used the dreaded copy & paste from another forum However, can anyone come up with the figures for high heels? I'm not aware of any representative polls on the subject ( the figures I used for skirts were based on an aol poll) Bob

some very rough figures Approx male population of US - 120 million Polls suggest approx 1 in 5 men would wear skirt so = 24 million If men spent on average $1000 on clothes in first year skirts were available this would translate to $24 billion for the US & EU combined this would equate to something like $65 billion in the first year alone! And that doesn't include South America, Canada, Australasia or the Far East! Surely if we can get these figures across to the retail and manufacturing industry they will jump at the chance of creating a multi-billion dollar market? The figures are very approximate but are no doubt indicitive of the potential market, they are probably quite conservative in fact

witch

A common design, logo, and name for the movement as a whole is def good idea, unfortunately art is not my stronges point! However, with a community the size of ours there must be someone into design?

Well, interestingly, i've recieved an e-mail from somebody relaying a reply from levi, who've stated that although they don't have any "current" plans to market mens skirts, they do make their denim range with right hand fly's specificaly because males customers by them for themselves Perhaps there's hope yet?

There's a discussion going on at the moment on Tom's Cafe about contacting companies to ask them to stock skirts for men, i've proposed an e-mail petition and am thinking that it could be for Freestyle in general i.e. ask them to stock everything from high-heels to skirts and other accesories usually associated with womens fashion, what does everyone here think?

bad

pissed

Viagra (you'll probably have to speak to me in person to understand that )

I only got my first heels when I 31, a pair of ankle boots with nearly 4" heels

Got a pair of boots on order from western ranch, my highest heels yet, 5" Will let y'all know what they're like when I get 'em!

I don't go out in heels all that often, but when I do nobody seems to notice, certainly nobody says anything! If only the majority of people who suffer from a lack of confidence over wearing heels realised the same...
