    Question Question about Kilt pins

    I have a lot of things that can be used as kilt pins (multiple buttons, few pins, one actual kilt pin). I just want to see some views on wearing more than one or two kilt pins. Can it be done or should wearing 3+ kilt pins be avoided?

    You don't have to wear a kilt pin at all if you choose. One is traditional, two is probably unusual and three, depending on, I suppose, what they are, is overdoing it a tad. On the other hand if you were a young man going through a rebelious stage, then half a dozen kilt pins might not be enough!

    Haha, I wouldn't say I'm a rebellious youth. I'm just open to many different things and prefer my own style. So don't wear more than two kilt pins to a place/event that requires traditional kiltwear?

    Unless you work at that restaurant in "Office Space," you don't have to wear 37 pieces of flair.

    This is exactly where my mind went as I read the OP as well!

    Mother, two things. 1) Thanks for the helpful kilt pin advice. 2) I never left school? I used the school's wifi during health class, when I had nothing to do and a teacher who wouldn't take my iPod. Plus the question was bugging me since I departed for school.

    Some things don't change.

    Kilt wearing allows for considerable personal flair even whilst being traditional, but if the event is important ,not only to you but also to others, then stick to one.
