Opinions wanted on skirts for men

I only recently discovered this board after a college friend recommended it to me. It is really awesome and so many cool people here. I love reading all the articles and messages.

I am a fashion design student and I want to get some opinions from everyone here. I find men wearing skirts a really sexy look on guys. Not in a cross-dressing sort of way (like dressing the guy up as a woman) but just as an alternative form of clothing.

A couple of totally hetero guys have been willing to go out with me to restaurants, clubs on dates etc in different skirts that I have picked out for them. They have ranged from sarongs to very short skirts.

As part of a project for this year, I am thinking of designing a range of skirts for guys. Skirts that girls will really find appealing on their men, and skirts that guys will be willing to consider wearing.

So, I am looking first for some opinions in general on the whole idea of skirts for men. What do you think? Do you find it sexy or not? What sorts of skirts do you think would look best? And what do you think a guy should wear that would go well with his skirt? I found it difficult in the past to match a typical guys footwear with a decent looking skirt, the same with shirts.

Thanks

I find nothing sexy about any man in a skirt.
Do I think they will go over here in the United States----NO

I'm Brent's lady, and I can tell you that (like most men), he simply finds it too "femmy" to ever wear a dress. Even if society accepted it more he probably wouldn't wear a dress.

Myself, it doesn't do that much for me.
I do know that several of my girlfriends would love it if guys wore dresses. It seems to me that many women would like to get their men to try wearing a dress but that the men resist that notion.

there is a yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HikingSkirts/
about non bifurcated garments for men and women. macabi makes a hiking skirt for either sex. also, in the contra dance world men have been wearing twirly skirts for years. they have lots of advantages I can see. still looks weird tho :)

ahhh, i remember the last time i wore a skirt. My female friend wanted to ride a bungee cord type of ride but all she had no pants under her nice little skirt, so we switched so she could ride the ride. It was acually quite comfortable. *british accent* we had fun in those days.

Men wearing skirts to me is a bad idea! I feel that only girls shold wear them. I mean I wouldn't wanna go out with my man and us both wearing a skirt. I dunno seems a bit strange to me.

you mean mini skirts? that sounds good on men

their cute little butts lol

I think thats WAY HORRIBLE ! I'm sorry if im being rude but I dont think that it would ever ever ever become popular in USA. I think that guys will go as far as pink or purple shirts here or there but never ever skirts or dresses.

Can i ask you something? why would you want your man wearing a dress or skirt dont you wanna man that seems like he can protect you and be masculine? i dont know about you but its GAY to me. It is nature for a man to masculine and the girl to be feminime dont try to change it. I think if you want your man in a dress then you can have that in the privacy of your home, out of public.

I would also find it amusing to see a really skin adn bone guy to be wearing a dress. That would be horrible. Not to mention a body builder or a muscular man wearing one.

I dont think men in skirts is such a great idea. I like the fact that girls have there own cloths and boys have there own. If men start wearing skirts, then thats one thing that a girl has to share with a man. I know some of you are thinking "Girls and boys were pants", but I think skirts are different. Men wearing skirts is like men wearing high heels and women wereing boxer!!
