I have worn a knee-length denim skirt in public, and to two of my jobs.
No negative comments at all. I was just accepted like any other person.
Seriously? What part of the world are you from (I'm asking because if your from the UK or where a more liberal society lives). I commend you for starters. My reason for attempting such a thing would be to simply observe the "double standard" factor.
PS: I'm having a heck of a time finding a dark denim, plain skirt

Well, people might not believe me but it is true.
I live in Devon in the South West of the UK.
Last summer, I wore a denim skirt a few times because it was too hot to wear jeans. Why should I suffer being uncomfortable and sweaty?
I remember going shopping for clothes in Exeter, and as I finished, I was walking towards must have been about 200 men who came out of a football match.
I was expecting rude comments or silly giggles. But nothing, as if I was still wearing jeans.
I bought my skirt from Warehouse - one of the top brands of ladies clothing stores on the high street.
I am unable to wear a skirt this year due to the treatment I am having on my legs.
