I generally reply to the "skirt" comments with "Thanks, it's a trendy little A-line in a bold but cheeky check. And we ladies have worn them to slaughter ignorant lowlanders for round the last 800 years". They usually get the point then. Of course, I'm 6'2" & extremely heavily tattooed!
I like that! I have no tats or piercings... but being the size I am and looking a bit like Imish from Braveheart, I can still be a bit on the menacing size. I usually mention things about being a member of the Scottish Teabag Society and offer to initiate the moron in question. That sometimes shuts them up.
