Girls

How often do you wear a skirt?

Amz

As often as I feel like.

Why?

coolguy

I think girls look better in skirts.
It's just that there are a few girls i know that wear trousers the whole time & i'm wondering why is that - do they not like wearing skirts?

Amz

Sometimes it's hard to find a nice skirt. Sometimes girls don't feel comfortable in skirts.

Gillo

They prob aren't as warm as trousers this time of year. Unless of course they wear very thick wooly tights

Amz

That would also be a factor.

Cake Fiend

Skirts with patterned tights for the victory.

Pythia

Almost every day, with black tights and uggs. Skirts rule!

Mrs_Doyle

Skirts Rule, but UGGs don't. (Sorry, just can't stand the yokes!)
I nearly always wear skirts or dresses when I am out on the town, but on a day to day basis you would rarely see me in a skirt.

Absolutely. Preferably with high heel boots. *drools*

Killaqueen!!!

Girls shouldn't have to wear skirts. This time of year I wear trousers cos they're warmer but every now and again I'll wear a skirt with tights and boots (and NOT uggs. im not a d4).

In the summer however, they're great. wear em all the time.

Some girls just don't want to wear skirts - it's not that they feel uncomfortable (though some do).

I guess I wear skirts 4-5 days a week. Work is smart casual for me so a knee length skirt with a blouse or fine knit jumper and a pair of heels (or leather boots) is comfortable for me.

At weekends I like a shorter skirt with thick tights and pumps.

Faith

I rarely wear them, unless I'm going out. But now that it's become fashionable to wear black tights with them, it makes it a lot easier!

Piste

I have to wear one every day cos it's part of my school uniform, but it's quite horrible in winter as they blow up in the wind and are quite cold, and we can't wear any nice tights with them either.

At weekends and days off I'd wear knee-length skirts a lot with tights and boots to keep warm, especially when it rains- I hate having my trousers soak up half the puddles in Dublin!

Nightwish

I wear a skirt most days I'm not working. I love my skirts - I own about 30 or so. I wear them with fishnet or stripey tights, or stripey thigh high socks, but this time of year, its leggings.

I don't have shoes or boots to match them
I did but my old ones wore out

I have one short skirt, used to wear it with black tights and black sandals
looks pretty nice too heh

long skirts can be warm at this time of year, i have a few that are thick enough
but trousers are easier to walk in

JustCoz

I love wearing skirts, but I don't really wear them during the day. I feel over-dressed if I wear one into college

So close, and yet so far.

Speaking of skirts, one thing I think there isn't enough of is actual full-body dresses. I particularly heart Chinese-style silk dresses.

I wear skirts the majority of the time because i cant get a pair of trousers to fit me 36" legs :mad: cant shop in any cheap shops like pennys,dunnes etc.Also if i want a pair of long legged pants you end up paying a lot and im a poor student!! even at that i usually have to go to a dress maker and get the hems taken down pushing the price up of a pair of trousers even more,skirts are just way more practical for me!!

brianthebard

36in leg? Wow. Oh wait that's outside leg measurement isn't it? Still pretty impressive though.

Chucky the tree

its only a weekend thing for me.

CathyMoran

I wear skirts or dresses most days with black tights though I have been known to wear jeans.

miamee

I don't really wear skirts much in the winter, they are more a summer thing for me. Trousers are just much warmer & more practical in the winter for me!

mcoolmcool

I wear a skirt whenever. I wear them with Funky tights, high socks, but this time of year, I wear a skirt with Jeans or leggings.

Kolodny

I'll wear skirts quite a bit during the summer and occasionally on a night out I'll wear a skirt or dress. I'm more of a jeans/trousers girl tbh - haven't got particularly girly dress sense.

Tar.Aldarion

I wear at least one a day.

simu

Oh tar!

I also wear skirts a lot due to the difficulty of finding trousers that fit well.

Le Rack

I wear skirts loads, any night or day going out to something, and casually most days but when it's cold and I'm not bothered with the effort, it's pants!

Oh god, I hate patterned tights
I think they look awful

Catari Jaguar

I wear gypsy floaty skirts in summer, and dressy skirts for my teaching practices to look neat and formal. I love skirts. Easy access! ha!

Doomspell

Nearly everyday for me:)

Faith

While we're here, how long do you guys think wearing thick black tights under skirts will stay fashionable? I don't want to go stocking up on skirts if I'm suddenly expected to shave and wear fake tan with them!

I'm the same. Finding jeans takes a really long time, but I love them and find skirts too dressy for daytime wear. Designers are the only ones who do jeans long enough. The high streets long sizes are always too short. And there's no point trying to find a pair to wear over a heel.
Love wearing skirts at night especially with tights. They're so much fun.

I've been wearing them since summer before last

Who cares? Skirts are much more practical than trousers on a wet day: no more wet trouser legs and if you wear boots, no wet feet.

Plus, if like me you're not very tall, a knee-length skirt looks much better than jeans.

Forever - but if you get bored, you could change to some other colour tights.

misswex

I love knee length boots so love wearing skirts or those wrap around dresses that come to just the knee and I bought 2 fab knee length skirts in Dorothy Perkins at the weekend so I'm well set for the coming winter months.

Piste

skirts, black tights and warm boots will always be a Winter must for me, it's comfortable, keeps you dry and looks quite stylish.

phasers

only going to School,and that's because I have to.
it all depends on a Person's taste

rainbow kirby

I wear skirts maybe 5 times a year. I really like trousers.

Seraphina

i'm just more comfortable in trousers usually. i always feel overdressed in a skirt.
also, if im driving, jeans are way easier, because i dont own any flat shoes/boots, and driving in heels can be tricky!
i'm trying to wear them more these days, the problem is i'm pretty picky about my clothes, dont like much 'fashionable' stuff, so finding skirts i like is a rare occasion!

I'm in the same boat. Longer length trousers are so expensive and still not long enough for me half the time, so I stick to my skirts.

Surely some skirts are easier to walk in than others.?
Would a long flowing skirt be easy to walk in?
Would a shorter tight fitting skirt be easier to walk in than a longer one?

What type of skirt do find it hard to walk in?

Killaqueen!!!

Wow there's quite a few people who wear them all the time. I always think wearing a skirt/dress is kind of over-dressed (unless it's a school/work skirt) for just every-day stuff. I'm extra careful to be colour-coordinated and stuff when I wear a skirt!

Heyes

I wear a skirt if possible everytime i head out at night, just makes me feel a lot sexier

if u think u are over-dressed in a skirt - why not wear a denim skirt?
Denim skirts are casual and yet u still look more attractive as u are wearing a skirt.
I have seen quite a lot of girls wearing knee length skirts in the last year and they look casual yet nice.
For this time of year denim skirts look nice with black tights and boots

I think that any skirts worn over jeans/trousers are hideous though!

jezza

Skirts at weekends!
