Men and Skirts

It may have been normal for men to wear skirts a few hundred years ago but we live here and now. Why do so few women wear skirts, dresses and tights? There are so many women who wear pants today. Why do men wear skirts if there are so many women who refuse it? In other words, why make skirts if they are not bought? And thus it is not surprising that there are no skirts for men. Only a few specialized stores offer men's skirts, sometimes tailor-made. Some women actually consider them fetish wear. The overall prices seem rather daunting. Well, there are few skirts for men in stores. There are few men who wear skirts in public, which is probably why the offer is so limited. Of course, it could also go the other way around. It is a vicious circle really - the typical chicken-egg principle.

The courage to be feminine

 

There are many women who have lost their courage to be feminine. Unfortunately, we seem to live in a male-dominated world, so skirts are considered outdated. There is something missing in our society. Unfortunately, the sight of women's legs and skirts is becoming increasingly rare. Thus, it is not surprising that some men would like to strike a balance. At least this could be a reason. Maybe these men want to encourage women to wear skirts more. It would certainly do no harm if there was a little more equality.

Is women's clothing necessarily feminine?

 

Skirts, dresses, blouses, etc., are actually typical ladies' clothing and therefore one would think that they are apparently untrustworthy for men. But what really characterizes women's clothing? Is a skirt a piece of women's clothing because it is worn mainly by women or because it has a 'feminine appearance'? That is almost like claiming that the ball gag is somewhat feminine because it is women that are usually dominated in bed. Why is that wrong? For example, a simple denim skirt looks anything but typically feminine. It is only a skirt. There are male skirts, too. A kilt does not look too feminine. I suspect that he is much too thick, heavy and bulky. Women certainly have no reason to put on such unpleasant pieces of clothing. It is comfortable, loose, lightweight and it should be considered a skirt regardless of whether it is a women's or men's piece of clothing.

Is a skirt feminine?

 

What is so feminine in a skirt? Nothing really. Only the color, pattern and style (cut, motifs, etc.) account for the feminine look. But what about a simple skirt, possibly with a very subtle pattern in beige, blue, gray, black or brown? The fabric and design would resemble a pair of men's trousers. Suits (skirt and jacket) are indeed made from appropriate fabrics and designed in appropriate colors. There is nothing speaking against such a skirt for men, right?

Skirts for women

 

Pastels and bright colors such as pink, red, etc. are typically female, but there are also many different patterns and ornaments that distinguish women’s skirts from men’s skirts. A pretty flower dress or skirt would probably look pretty silly on a man. And as already mentioned, there is nothing wrong about feminized men wearing ladies’ clothes, but this situation is rarely encountered in public.

Skirts for men

 

There is absolutely no reason why men should avoid wearing skirts if they feel like it. Skirts are airy, good-looking and above all very comfortable. One could also invoke the argument that the skirt has a practical use and it is not all about looking like a woman. It is clearly an advantage if you can move around freely. It does really matter if you are a woman or if you only look like a woman as long as you feel comfortable.



Everyone should be able to enjoy their freedom and claim their rights. It is just like with tights: Why should only women be allowed to wear tights? Men can also feel good in tights if they feel like them. This 'feeling good' thing is of paramount importance. No man can forbid you to feel good!

Conclusion

 

There are many reasons why men can and should wear skirts. The main reason is the free and comfortable fit. Skirts are practical and comfortable and probably everyone wants to wear them.

The Difference between Practical Costumes and Sexy Costumes

Unfortunately, support tights (not to mention compression tights) are still regarded as "granny pants". Many young people regard this piece of clothing as old-fashioned and therefore, judge the people who wear tights. There are now very attractive models of support and compression tights. Unfortunately, this also means that every second woman and every third man has problems with the leg veins. Men are affected more often. It was also found in ultrasound Doppler studies that 10 percent of twelve-to fourteen-year-old children have an incipient venous insufficiency. As for the sixteen-to eighteen-year-olds, around 30 percent of them are affected by this problem. Prophylaxis should be initiated in this case. Many young people do not know they have this problem (why is there no venous screening for 14-year-olds?). Prolonged standing or sitting are also again bad for the veins. Moreover, tights cannot provide sufficient support if the veins are only slightly damaged. So you should wait about 14 years until you start wearing tights. Then you can wear compression tights! That goes for girls and boys alike!

Compression tights and support tights

The difference between the two types of tights lies primarily in their effect and availability. Support tights are available in a variety of models. They are worn mainly by people with light vein problems or by those who want to prevent their appearance. They are the tights used with a sexy nun costume. Compression tights, however, are usually prescribed by a doctor and are available only with medical suppliers. You should seek medical help and advice if you have more significant vein problems. This article does not replace that advice!
Well, there is a distinction between support and compression tights. Even doctors sometimes make mistakes and throw them both into a pot. Compression tights can also be sold freely in medical stores and thus without a prescription. It is recommended to visit a doctor (preferably an angiologist or phlebotomist) before wearing compression tights. The wearing of compression tights can even be dangerous in people who have problems with the arteries (claudication).

Therefore, let’s take a closer look at support tights. Vein problems (such as the risk of thrombosis during air travel) may occur even in healthy legs. Support tights can bring a soothing relief to those who are prone to swollen legs and who sit or stand too much (who do not move a lot).

This was only acknowledged on the occasion of the tragic death of 28-year-old Emma Christoffersen, who collapsed at Heathrow Airport in October 2000 and died shortly afterwards. However, it is long known in professional circles that some 50,000 people die because of a pulmonary embolism caused by deep vein thrombosis in the United States alone.

Different supporting force

 

There are different support levels for “healthy” legs. They differ in the amount of pressure they exercise on the legs. These are:
Class I - 6-8 mm Hg

Class II - 10-12 mm Hg

Class III - 14-16 mm Hg
Mm Hg means millimeters of mercury and it measured the applied pressure. The higher the support class, the higher the pressure on the connective tissue and thus the support for the veins. It is important that the tights fit in order to be effective.
There are four classes of compression tights between 18 and 59 mm Hg as follows:
Class 1: light compression (18.4 to 21.2 mm Hg)

Class 2: medium compression (25.1 - 32.1 mm Hg)

Class 3: severe compression (36.4 to 46.5 mm Hg)

Class 4: extra high compression (over 59 mm Hg)
A suggestion to add a fifth class was made, but the specialized authorities rejected it because they could not agree.

Disadvantage of tights

Tights may be good for the legs but they also have to be comfortable if worn for a long time. This problem has been narrowed down quite considerably. Then, the fabric must be solid. Therefore, support tights are comparable to the conventional models. Those who are not absolutely dependent on a high supporting force should rely on so-called wellness models with varying pressure degrees. These models are also available in 20 dens and are thus much softer and more pleasant.

Anyone who has worn compression tights higher than class 2 can enjoy 140 compression methods (e.g. the excellent Compressana Calypso models), not to mention 70 methods which are almost caressing to the leg.

Special tights

Last but not least, you should know that tights can also be part of a fetish costume.

There are special travel tights in addition to the previously introduced application areas. These usually belong to the third supporting class. Some manufacturers that offer travel tights are Elbeo and Kunert, the latter being made of a soft fabric and therefore being very comfortable.

Last but not least, you should also know that tights can also be part of fetish costumes.
