I'm a frock freak especially in the summer- love a nice frock. I tend to wear skirts more in the winter with nice woollies and boots. I don't like living in jeans and trousers makes me feel blokey!!!smile

As far as I am concerned the skirt has had its day. I have worn trousers for years, do not actually posess a skirt now. I worked in a merchant bank in London in the early 70s. I joined the union there to push for the right for female employees to wear trousers at work. Seems like the dark ages now.

I like to wear a skirt but the weather has not been right on many days this year!

I would love to wear trousers or three-quarter linens, knee length shorts etc.
I'm apple shaped and have short legs so unfortunately it's skirts for me sad

It has for me but that is because I have a very swollen ankle since it was pinned and plated following a fracture dislocation. I also cannot wear what I would call decent shoes. that is why I wear long trousers and lace ups.

The past few days I've been noticing what other women are wearing: amongst the hundreds of women I've seen on the South coast while I've been travelling there have only been three wearing skirts or dresses, all the rest have been in shorts, leggings or trousers. Has the skirt had its day?
