Skirts at Roo - not just for women anymore

i had a nice long chat with the burly man in the utilikilt store. makes me want one.

not sure i have the right look for it... however, i am a large enough mammal that i doubt i would get any shit for wearing one

Haha same. I thought they looked very sexy. My boyfriend suggested he wear one of my skirts and I was like mmmmm OK ;D He didn't follow through but I would have liked it......

Yeah I think that is what is sexy, is the fact they are confident and secure enough about themselves to wear them.

Definitely. Confidence can make all the difference in the world because it shines through in their personality.

I like the minimalness (sp?) of a skirt. Its funny because i'm a pretty athletic looking guy and you get a lot more strange looks like so, and my friends find it entertaining. At 05 one night i even went down to just my running tights, lets just say i wasnt all there though.....mentally.

this year it's loinclothe all the way

My wife went to Hawaii in Dec and bought 3 sarongs.

One of them is brown with with white designs that isn't too "girlie".

I tried it on last night and really liked it. You folks may be seeing me in skirt (sarong) this year.

Haha - This is the first time I read this thread since 'roo last year - kind of funny to see I made it on your camera. You should have come over to me, I would have taken a picture with you...

For guys who are looking to purchase their first skirt/sarong for Roo, I want to provide more information/tips to help you decide what to get.

1. Skirts: There are full skirts, and not-so-full skirts. A full skirt is a complete circle of material when spread out on the ground - the waist is the center of the circle and the skirt fans out. Not-so-full skirts are straighter with less material. Personally, I prefer full skirts because there's tons of material to swish and dance in. If the length starts to bother you at any point, on a full skirt, you can just grab two points from the bottom of the skirt, tuck them into the waist and you now have a short skirt.

Sarong: A sarong is a piece of material, about the size of a twin-size sheet. You can tie it in several different ways to create different lengths. When I wear sarongs, I usually wear a pair of shorts underneath, and take the sarong off and use it as a blanket when sitting under trees, etc. Sarongs also fold up very small and fit well in most backpacks for use as a windbreak when lighting cigerettes, etc. Most tie-dye vendors at Roo sell nice sarongs for $25. Once you get home, you can use it as a wall decoration or a curtain until the next Roo.

- full skirt.

- I'm wearing a not-so-full skirt, but on the ground is a sarong. (My dad & I at the Independence Day Jam Fest '06, Oklahoma City).

- sarong as a blanket.

- don't forget to wear your bells!

And now Im going to be mindlessly ebay-ing sarongs for a while.

Those skirts look delightful. Are they at all warm for the nights? I mean for just sitting or laying down, not walking.

I'm probably not gonna wear a skirt this year, because my girlfriend already thinks im odd enough, and im trying to ease her into bonnaroo, but i but by the time i get there and start suffocating in the heat, my mind may very well change. If only guys could wear skirts all year, and not just at bonnaroo, soo comfortable.

The more i think about it, i dont think itd phase her, and she surely wouldnt be suprised. ;D

i like the utilikilts. im thinking about getting one. but damn they are expensive!! but they are definitely the ones i like the best.
