Sweeden - Men in short & cute skirts

Swedish male train drivers wear skirts to work
Commuters on a train line in northern Stockholm were met with an unusual sight this week: male train drivers and conductors wearing skirts to work.
Train driver Martin Akersten says he and more than a dozen others have started wearing skirts in the summer
The 30-year-old Akersten said Sunday the response from customers has been only positive.
Arriva, the company that runs the train line, hasn't stopped the drivers. Arriva spokesman Tomas Hedenius says the company wants its staff to look "nice and proper," but can't stop men from wearing "women's clothes" if that's what they want because it would be discrimination.

Luckily, I was shaded by my Cuban Shotputter. She was the one that suffered :O(
brit,,, and what ? am curious :O/
britexpat you should have used sun cream... instead of babyoil...
I remember being in St. Tropez and then Brit felt what actually global warming is about. :))
Sunburn is no laughing matter..
I remember being in St. Tropez and ......
NM ... Yes,, Indeed :D
But isn't it nice ,,lol
Because Sulie, if you did not you would burn the parts where the light usually don't shine...:P
Why to wear anything at summer :O)
I wear something loose which keeps me cool and the air circulation clear...:)
I wear a sarong in the summer :O)
looks like the Scottish skirts.
As long as the whole story is related with PROTEST, i don't think there is any problem wearing skirt by men...
But i just hope that the protest should not go for longer period..:D
Strange situations call for innovative solutions and fashion statements. Perhaps they could try out the skirts and the colourful loongis during the summer months out here and this may help make the heat more bearable if not for the ones who are wearing them then atleast for the onlookers and admirers
i agree with every post mimi made in this thread..especially where she points out the hidden part of the story..if it was intentionally omitted and hidden, well the OP needs to evaluate just how pathetic they are..just hate when people sensationalize things or speak absolute drivel without having a clue..sorry for the rant but just got off another thread where some loser replied to a red light violation query that there's a new rule and the violator would have to pay 9000 now..there is no such rule and this guy is just out there worrying people who are already stressed out enough..god!..completely ticked me off that guy..having a bad day with ql so just going to give it a rest i guess
Sulie - bwahahha me too order me 3 pcs
Thanks Mimi..I was wondering what the whole story was actually about. Makes sense now...well, for me at least ;)
In most Western countries train drivers & conductors are allowed to wear shorts as part of their uniform in the summers flor. And yes, it would be public transport.
So to piss he has to use two hands... :-(
drivers of public transports are not allowed to wear shorts. And you know how hot the weather here?
Are the train consider public transport?
MK... what you say is not true. You can see men wearing lungis to work in TN. They are not the printed types but plain and good quality ones. Even the FM wears it to work.
Miss mimi No Indian wears lungi for office only inside bedroom but scottish men are wearing them for office and schools
Flor, it was for all of the train staff. That's why the drivers and conductors are wearing skirts.
I don't see how simply wearing a skirt means that a man has taken on womanly traits. The Scottish are some pretty manly men and they've been wearing kilts for centuries. Indian men wear lungi's, those are skirts.
I just ordered two skirts in case
I am afraid after two months the men skirts will be expensive,, so now i will get two ,,, :O)
for train drivers only?
flor...doesn't look that serious...just some protest. Guess all is well...:)
but behavior and sex orientation will be a problem!
I suppose they would Rizks if they were told they weren't allowed to wear underwear, but the female conductors could.
hmmmm...now it makes sense. Thank goodness I thought the men there are developing womanly traits...:)
maybe hanging shirt would be nxt :D
???????
wat next ?
Mens wearing bra and panties for protest ? :(
Ridiculous.
It's a loophole in their corporate rules Rizks. I'm sure the guidelines state that black pants, skirts, white shirts, etc are deemed an acceptable part of the uniform, but didn't specify gender. So the men are wearing the skirts as a protest.
but the above conductor is a Male ! :(
Because the female conductors wear skirts, it's a part of their uniform, which means it's on the approved uniform list.
if they had ban shorts, then why skirts - isnt it a girly thing to wear ? :(
they would have wore banana leaves or mini-undergarments to work ?
Perhaps you should put the whole story? They're wearing skirts because the company has banned them from wearing shorts in the summer. It's a protest, not a fashion statement.
Sorry... links, photos dont work at work. But guess it wouldn't be any different than it is ...:)
this is the link
Sulieman...cant see the pic.
HGL ,, what do you mean by ,,, pantyhose
is it this ,, Lols
And BTW Lipstick is an old fashion now :O)
Pathetic. What next...lipstick & pantyhose.
Nothing can make me surprised anymore
And what I see in the future,
I see Men from everywhere wearing this!
P.S Isn't it close you the Indian lungi!
No different to Lungi :o)
If their men have started wearing skirts just wondering what are their women wearing
Progressive thinking...
Next, pantyhose and shaved legs.
Nothing unusual in this, the men in the gulf wear full length skirts.
