    Ladies- do you wear "male" kilts or kilts made specially for women?

    According to Dr. Nick Fiddes in his excellent Kilts and Tartan Made Easy, having specially-made kilts for women is a recent minor tradition and women can wear the style of kilt now considered "male".

    So, the question is this: do you wear standard "male" kilts or kilts made with women in mind? Maybe even both?

    I'm not a regular kilt wearer (yet), but I'm not a fan of miniskirts or anything too feminine, not to mention I'm a larger woman (not for long I hope!), so I would definitely plump for the "male" kilt.
