I could give guys here fashion advice too, but the last time I did that people were SHOCKED AND APPALLED.

There is nothing wrong with fashion advice. This is why I bring my friend with me clothes shopping. I loathe it and stubborn about certain things. So yeah. NOT ALL FUN AND GAMES SHOPPING WITH ME. I fail the gay stereotype. Put me in a bookstore, gaming store, or electronics store? I'm golden.

Having size 13 feet and being tall waist up (not in the legs where I am an average 32" in-seam) is annoying for shoes and shirts respectively.

That is not to say I do not have a fashion sense--I do. Just not a super advance one. I mean let's face it wearing orange is just a bad idea for me. :/

I lack any sort of fashion sense, but that's okay because all I ever wear are black slacks and videogame t-shirts. Or alternatively red and khaki when I'm at work.

Liking dresses does not imply disliking pants.

My point being I don't think many men would wear dresses if it was "allowed" because they could just keep wearing pants. :p

I'd try it. Seriously. Men's fashion so limited compared to women's.

If you find men's fashion limited, you're doing it wrong.

Have you tried skirts or dresses? I haven't tried a dress but skirts are really really really nice on hot days. It's almost like wearing nothing, except people can't see your underwear.

Indeed. My goal is to get rid of some of my cellulite so I can wear my maxi skirt. And then buy a whole bunch more. (And maxi dresses too.)

Is this turning into the second coming of the guys in dresses campaign? Where's Danni, where's Matt?

Actually I think I owe EoFF a pic of me in a dress from last time.

I agree.

I tried on a skirt before and I felt naked and vulnerable. I also felt like I couldn't carry anything. Pass.

That just means your mind is weak and can't adapt to dynamic situations!

I mean those scottish dudes back in the day weren't exactly weak just because they wore sk... i mean kilts.

Additionally, kilts are likely to have originated from scandinavia to begin with, so I have a cultural excuse to wear one if I really want to!

Bonus: kilts are sexy.

The only reason Scots can pull of kilts is cause they're Scots and have balls of steel.
