    Should I wear it or no?

    I am Scott
    I am new to Xmarks and i have a question. I try to wear my kilt with my clan tartan any chance that is appropriate, that being said, I will be graduating this Friday with a Associates in Specialized Technology and wondering if it would be appropriate to wear my kilt for the ceremony? they have no specific dress code for the event but i would like to know y'alls opinion.

    Initially, Failte!

    Re: your question
    Grizz is spot on.

    In fact, I was taught "Anytime, any place, for any reason you'd normally wear a jacket, collared shirt and tie, then wear your kilt, too."

    Now, there are unique cultural exceptions & debatable nuance to this rule, discussed ad nauseam on XMTS.
    But, as general guidance, it holds true.

    By all means, wear it. And wear it with pride. Congratulations!
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Welcome to the Rabble, Scott. As to your question, if there are no dress rules, go for it.
