Are there longhairs wearing caftans, kilts, sarongs, skirts and similars? If yes: write your experiences with the society here!
Yours A. S.
I wear a hakama, which is some sort of japanese skirt worn by the samurais during the feudal times. i wear it at least three times a week because im involved in martial arts. i also have long hair by the way.
I wear a modern kilt. Since this photo, I have grown longer hair. It is now down to my collar, and is very curly. I also do my nails red since then too. I go shopping and go to restaurants, and have seen a lot of side glances, but all the comments have been friendly or complimentary. I am aiming now with my hair for that "just down from the Highlands look"!
Thanks Jack,
Send us another foto with your longer hair.

Will do, Canis, as soon as I get a more recent photo that can be scanned and posted here! Thanks for the encouragement!
I am barefoot most of the time and I have always my arms bared up to the shoulder - I wear sleeveless shirts, vests and the like, even during the winter season. Usually I get some remarks from bypassers that have mostly to do with the outside temperatures during the winter months.

In warmer weather, I often wear fairly "alternative" clothing: tie-dyed ponchos, sarongs, African garments, "pirate" shirts, etc.; not a skirt yet, although I admire men who do (mostly the hippie/Faerie types whom I've always found appealing). I wore NOTHING but a sarong to the Castro Street fair in San Francisco this past fall.
In cooler weather, I have a knee-length, maroon, velvet cape; and a heavy inverness cape (think: Sherlock Holmes style, i.e., Victorian England).
I am usually complimented on my clothing or people come up to me to ask where I got it.
Once I passed two guys at a street fair wearing the African garb and barefoot (I'm always barefoot anyway) and I overheard one say to the other, "Look! It's Jesus!" I was amuzed.
I'll add "Take photos of yourself in alternative clothing" to my To Do list.
