Men (Non Scottish) who wear skirts/kilts

Question

¡Por qué los únicos que pueden llevar faldas son los escoceses? Creo que una falda o "kilt" les queda buenísimo a algunos hombres. Aquí hay algunos soldados que las usan. ¿Qué opinan ustedes?

Why are only Scotsmen the ones who can wear skirts? I think that a skirt or kilt looks really great on some men. Here are some soldiers that are wearing them. What do you think?

Está bien sólo que no se paren de cabeza vestidos así, ja ja - 005faa61, May 8, 2015

Scotsmen are not the only people that wear 'Kilts" they are worn by many nations. - ray76, May 8, 2015

I like the difference between the sexes. Skirts with some cultural exceptions are for women and I'd like to see it stay that way. Otherwise, why don't we have just 1 gender...we'll call it the Dani gender :) - Sassette, May 9, 2015

That doesn't work. I'm female and that's that! But I have the choice to wear pants or skirts. Society does not grant men that priveledge. - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015

Answer 1

Apparently man skirts are the newest fashion trend:

In the top picture, the denim skirt is way too short. Even women have a hard time navigating in these. - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015

I could be way off on this but the guy on the left side of the first photo reminds me of a young former US president named Jimmy Carter. - Sassette, May 9, 2015

Jajaja, He does look like Carter. Wow! - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015

Answer 2

Hice un hilo sobre esto hace poco. No fue una invención escocesa. En la historia muchos hombres se ponían, y mismo hoy hay muchos en el mundo que lo hacen, especialmente en ejércitos...

Faldas no son solamente para mujeres regañonas...

ok...I won't blame you for this whole men skirt thing. - Sassette, May 9, 2015

@Falda. I just went to your old post. I had forgotten that you had posted it. I even forgot that I had posted and answer. Sheesh! - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015

Answer 3

Unas faldas son más pequeñas que otras... Y nadie no va a decir que esto no es un hombre por que lleva una falda...

Now that I look at it, he really does 'llevar' this falda... I'm expecting imminent deletion... - Faldaesque, May 8, 2015

This is more like Tarzan's loincloth only in leather. - Daniela2041, May 8, 2015

yes he's a man but I just want to barf. I can't get into this skirt thing (except for Scottish because I'm used to that) - Sassette, May 9, 2015

Answer 4

I did ask viewers to not vote for me. I don't want my work to be judged by votes. I just enjoy sharing. Being that my request was not respected I am requesting that my post be removed.

Heck ! You can share that with me any day mah deah. - ray76, May 9, 2015

sounds good to me, Ray - Sassette, May 9, 2015

Again, a skirted man's garment is not supposed to look like this. Just as there are pants designed for women and those desiged for men, my contention is that skirted garments can be designed to fit the male frame, and give the male a choice in what - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015

to wear just like women have. - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015

John Cleese is one of them. :) - ian-hill, May 10, 2015

Answer 6

Pictures from the island of Guam, USA.

I didn't know that the guamiños wore them. ¡Muy interesante! - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015

Answer 7

Una vez, hace muchos años, pensé en comprar una falda escocés- pero en las tiendas en las que se vendaban las cosas importadas de las Islas Británicos sólo había las muy caras, especialmente si querías comprar todos los accesorios- y sabía que no iba a llevarla con frecuencia. Mi madre dice que ella hablaba gaélico escocés cuando tenía cuatro años, apoyaba la independencia de Escocia, y no tengo duda de que le gustaría verme llevando una (aunque nació en Inglaterra)- quizás yo debería investigar si hay una asequible en Internet. Sin embargo, la verdad es que no tendría un aspecto tan bueno como el hombre de la foto de Falda, ni siquiera como los de la tuya.

You don't need to be a male model to look good in a kilt. In fact, even the ugliest man still looks smart in modern highland attire ;-) - Faldaesque, May 8, 2015

But you're right, as per my original thread, the gear's dear, & you do need at least a sporran to make it a true kilt. - Faldaesque, May 8, 2015

A decent quality costume costs £500-£1,000, but it lasts a lifetime, so it's a good investment & you should remember you can go to the toilet while still drinking your beer... ;-) - Faldaesque, May 8, 2015

You can get a plain skirt at Walmart for about $20. The kilt makers are making a killing. - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015

Answer 8

Estos pastoreshúngaros de caballos tienen no una falda sino pantalones anchos, pero es parece mucho a una falda.

These Hungarian shepherds of horses have not a skirt but wide pants, but it seems very similar to a skirt.

Horeres-herders, cowboys. Vaqueros? Shepherds only herd sheep, Porcu. Love the picture. - annierats, May 9, 2015

Answer 9

Porcupine7's picture reminded me of the "gi" worn by practitioners of Aikido. It's called a "hakama" and is a divided skirt. I know a few of the moves but I don't have the gi. This is the sport practiced by 7th degree black belt. Steven Segal.

Aren't they "Culottes" ? - ray76, May 9, 2015

The French might call them that, but a Japanese might kick him in the (****). Actually the culote was a divided skirt which went to the knee and was popular with the women in the Wild West days of the US. I think some women might still wear them. - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015

I have seen the smaller version that are popular now. - ray76, May 10, 2015

Answer 10

Hace mucho tiempo en una falda muy lejana...

Very cool! - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015

Wow also , Helio looks cute in a Kilt. - ray76, May 10, 2015

Answer 11

Sweden - male train drivers wear skirts after shorts row.

Video

A dozen male train drivers in Sweden have circumvented a ban on shorts by wearing skirts to work in hot weather.

"To tell them to do something else would be discrimination."

Una docena de conductores de trenes masculinas en Suecia han eludido la prohibición de pantalones cortos con el uso de faldas para trabajar en climas cálidos.

"Para decirles que hacer otra cosa sería discriminación".

Answer 12

Una falda por un viejo.

Está vestido para la cena.

A 'Kilt ' for an old man.

He is dressed for dinner.

Again, with a skirt this short, about all you can do in it is pose. I am talking about something more comfortable and useful, and designed to fit the male frame, sort of like the knee-length "tunic" in Bible-based movies or even the kilts - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015

that the soldiers in my pictures are wearing. I think that even the sarongs that the male Samoans wear look cool- and they are fully functional. - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015

I take umbrage to that , posing is only one of the exciting things that can be done in this gear ;) - ray76, May 9, 2015

Ray is very careful when he sits down. :)) - ian-hill, May 10, 2015

Answer 14

Me acojo a la quinta enmienda.

This one didn't make it either. - Daniela2041, May 9, 2015
