You know . . .
On Jamie it pretty well works because... because Jamie is Panache, has panache, flaunts it, and flaunts it well. I like him and I like to watch his marvellously creative and unsual adventures because he pulls it off in ways that nobody else can. He's a fabulous role model in terms of confidence, and sometimes, in fact usually, in terms of kilt-wearing. That's what makes it acceptable to me at least when he takes a tangent for fun.
That's why I voted "yes" - not because I recommend the look for others. Anybody else is probably wisest to wear a normal traditional kilt and wear it in the normal way with normal accessories. (And I don't want to get into a nit-picky fight over what "normal traditional" means - we've done that elsewhere and you all know what I mean by it if you don't get silly by picking the words apart one letter and one stitch at a time.)
Jamie is... . . . . . . . unique, and particularly loveable for that reason. It doesn't mean that anybody else should rush out and try his personal signature style. It doesn't always work on others.
