Let´s celebrate men in dresses

Skirts can be cold in winter, but are infinitely more comfortable than pants in summer.

I would think, rather, that would be loose-fitting, baggy shorts. In summer, they're already practically a uniform around here. You'd think Old Navy had taken over the world. :-\ With all those pockets, at least they're practical. :-\
Or what about what my mother used to call culottes? ;D

What I don't get is people who run around in full-length, heavy jeans, and flip-flops, but let be, let be. ???

I mean, since skirts are no longer commonly instep-length, aren't skirts and dresses cold in cold weather?

Skirts are easy. In the summer, you just pop on a top, your sandals, and slid on the skirt and you're out the door.
Naw, I find skirts warmer in winter than pants. Under skirts, you can layer. If it's really cold, you can wear stockings, tights on top of that, socks on your feet, boots and then the skirt which - if a winter skirt - is probably lined, then of course your coats etc. I find the colder it gets, the more inclined I am to wear a skirt.

Well, yes, but as you describe it, it's the layers that are keeping you warm, not the skirt. Unless your trousers are painted-on tight, you can layer with trousers, too.
Nor do I see how a skirt in the summer is any easier than a pair of baggy shorts.
