Skirt of the Month: Long, Leather Skirt!

With the cooler season approaching, I thought I would highlight a perfect skirt for the season. Long, leather skirts are elegant, stylish and very comfortable. I mostly wear light fabrics for contra dancing, but this long, leather skirt is wonderful for a cool, winter day.

This skirt looks great paired with a nice sweater and perhaps some boots. As a guy, it took me a little while to taking smaller steps in this, but I have gotten used to it after awhile.

I hope to get the confidence to wear it to a party or concert some day, but for now, I'll just wear it around the house.

Skirt of the Month: Broomstick Skirt

Here is one of my personal favorites - the Broomstick Skirt! These come in many different colors and style. This is a great skirt for Contra Dancing or just lounging around the house. They are also sometimes known as "gypsy" skirts.

The fabric is very breezy and the waists are usually elastic for an easy fit. Broomstick skirts usually have a "crinkly" feel to them and bellow out when spinning. These skirts are made for dancing. They are designed so that you can grab the fabric and make dramatic, sweeping motions with the skirt (think Stevie Nicks). They usually are ankle-length or a little longer so you may have to pull up the hem slightly when going up stairs.

I've got a number of broomstick skirts in different colors. They can be worn all summer or paired up with leggings during the cooler months. They are great for a casual look but can be dressed up a bit as well. I have a red broomstick skirt like in the picture but usually wear my black one, which goes with most everything. These skirts are some of the most comfortable skirts I've ever worn and are highly recommended for comfort and style.

Skirt of the Month!

The Long, Black Skirt

This long, black cotton skirt is a classic and one of my favorites that never seems to go out of style. I began wearing one of these to goth concerts and clubs years ago. A long, black skirt like this used to be the choice for many goth guys at concerts and clubs.

These skirts are soft and very comfortable to wear. I still wear one often just relaxing around the house. The skirt looks great with an oversize sweater and boots. A leather jacket also looks great with this skirt. A true classic - I'll always have at least one of these skirts in my wardrobe.
