A lot of Xmarkers these days seem to favour a more traditional approach, which tends to be on the smart side, even when casual. You'll likely see more of of the 'informal' or 'street wear' kind of discussion on the Contemporary Kilts sub-forum.
If I'm casually going down to the pub in my kilt, I'd probably still wear a button up shirt. Like so:




Going to hear a Celtic rock band requires a different approach:

As far as really informal, jeans and tshirt equivalent, I don't think I've ever done that with a traditional kilt
I've got an original khaki Utilikilt, which I'm actually wearing right now with a plain black tee shirt and black sport socks because I'm working from home. It is sort of like unbifurcated cargo pants... I haven't found many social occasions where I would wear it, but it might be good for camping, festivals, or some concerts
My Utilikilt was purchased for me (second hand) by a friend and the only time I've ever worn it outside the house was when I went to that friend's place for dinner. Here's a pic from that night:
