Running Skirts

I need to know the general consensus on the running skirt. Honestly, I think it is the most comfortable thing I have ever worn to work out in, but this is such a new trend, I am afraid that you can't be taken seriously......

If it is the most comfortable thing you've ever worked out in, then wear it! I think you'll be taken seriously more by your times than by what you wear.

Re: Running Skirts
I love my running skirt - although I'd like it better if it were made of tech material. I bought it from Kohl's just to try it out - love it!! Want more!!!

Re: Running Skirts
Don't worry about what others think - let your running do your talking for you! I have three of them, and I agree that they are much more comfortable and cooler than regular shorts. I played tennis in high school and college, and always wore tennis skirts for that very same reason.

Re: Running Skirts
Wear it! I'm a guy, and I've always been jealous of women's breadth of wardrobe options. This runnnig skirt thing is just another example. Take advantage of the options you like!
