I have a Sport Kilt in a pattern (Ramsay) that is a close match to that tartan (the Sport Kilt "Big Blue" tartan). I am not really into dressing formally, except to events like weddings and such. I really like the Sport Kilt 'cuz it is lightweight and looks great. But I was wanting to wear it out and about informally the same way I would a pair of short pants, i.e. with sneakers, regular white socks, t-shirt or flannel shirt and such. I would wear it with the sporran, since I would need some way to carry wallet, change, etc...

Is it okay to go out and about in a tartan Sport Kilt like this? Or would it look kinda "odd" or tacky? I have not worn it much so far; want it to be crisp and new looking for our 25th wedding anniversary party coming up. For that event, I will be wearing it formally, with black shoes, hose, flashes and nice shirt. No neck tie; the Cherokee part of me is allergic to those. Heh heh.... After that party, there will be a LOT of people who know I started wearing a kilt .

Thanks for any input you can give as to the informal question...
