2020 Emmys

Daniel Levy is winning numerous awards for Schitt's Creek. He wearing a Saxon coat and a grey plain cloth sort of kilt. It seems to be pleated all round with longer pleat length in the back. My wife called a kilt with tails. A bit odd but some designer's idea of a modern kilt.

Here is what it looked like.

Who said it was a kilt? Just because it has some folds? Probably just a skirt. After all, he is gay.

My first reaction when I saw the photo: "What the *bleep*!"

I saw the photo and wondered if he were wearing a kilt backwards (as sometimes happens in these sorts of celebrity events) or if it was some other sort of man-skirt design. It is unfortunate that the jacket is so long, since there was clearly quite a bit of effort and tailoring put into creating the outfit.

The socks also seem to be an odd choice to me, but it's clear that the gentleman was not seeking a traditional kilt look. Therefore, my expectations and taste are not really all that relevant to this situation.

It is good to see a man who is unembarrassed about wearing something other than pants on national TV, even if his style is very different from mine.

I like the top part of the suit, and the fabric is nice, but that kilt design doesn't do anything for me.

I, and probably most people here, think it would look better with overlapping flat front aprons and pleats in the back, and the same length all around.

Years ago I saw a Utilikilt made of shiny black fabric (satin?) that was lower in the back than in the front. The maker stated that it looked more "formal" that way, and was marketing it to wear with a tuxedo top for formal events.

I thought it just looked strange.

I had thought something similar when I first saw him. Actually, I thought he was wearing it sideways. Fortunately, the show won all seven awards for comedy. That gave me a lot more time to look . My wife's comment about the longer length in the back dissuaded me from my first opinion. Right back to my first opinion, " What an odd look" . Then again, most non-kilt wearers likely think the same of us.
