Underwear....or not

[Angstrom]

I like to wear a kilt when contradancing(usually a machine-washable USAK casual). Part of the fun of contradancing is twirling. When one twirls a kilt lifts, just as a skirt does. Inconspicuous underwear seems especially wise in that situation.

As for "tradition", one must consider how society has changed. Nowadays accidentally "flashing" someone -- especially a child -- could get you arrested for public indecency or worse. What is comfortable and prudent at home or on a solitary hike is not necessarily a good idea in a more crowded setting.
