This has nothing to do with real life (where I like short skirts), this is about capturing the look and feel of Star Trek - and perhaps even more importantly, the look and feel of the individual cultures. And the way Klingons dress is quite simply very established and doesn't leave a lot of room for speculation.

Klingons are very open-minded when it comes to sexuality, they're even perfectly comfortable fighting naked when catched off-guard, yet they do have their own fashion which is distinctively different from modern western world Human one. This includes the way they make and wear skirts.

If a short skirt would have to be an option, it should surely look very different than the soft cloth worn by Slutfl... err, I mean Starfleet. It would be knee-long, made of rough leather and perhaps plated with metal. Maybe something like what this guy is wearing. I'd be cool with that.

They should be made of leather, armored with metal plates, and very 'battle wench' looking. Although, Knee length seems a bit too much. Just take the exsisting 'split skirt' option from the feds, make it a 'leathery' material, and slap some neato looking metal plates on it... like something out of 'gladiator'. SUPER HAWT. Every nerd that loved a fantasy novel like 'dragonlance' would LOVE a warrior wench look... and it would be very Klingon to boot! Everyone is happy!

And yeah, I guess I could go for that "battle wench"-kinda look. Xena-style? :p
I didn't actually mean "knee-covering" when I said "knee-long", by the way - just covering the thighs ... like that soldier on the pic. I suppose you could also make the underskirt shorter and the straps above it longer and keep the gaps between them very small - might look interesting. The less you get to see, the more you want to peek at what's only hinted at. Mhm ... feel urge ... to go draw pictures ...

PS: Just yesterday I've seen the Unification episodes of TNG. B'Etor is soo cool. <3
