Tommiez,

If you will spend some time looking at the numbers of members here you will get a sense that it is perfectly ok to wear your kilt at any function, in any venue.

May I suggest you look at what else you are wearing with your kilt.

A large kilt belt, sporran, & kilt hose are some of the recognized accessories that for most of the public say KILT. These things are not required, but they seem to finish off the look and visually tell others "this is a kilt".

Look in the mirror. Is your shirt the type that may be confused with a woman's blouse? Are the sleeves too large? Is the color too bright or flowery?

I'm not trying to say you can't wear these things, just that it is easy recognize that what you are wearing is a kilt and not a woman's skirt if the other items of your wardrobe are also in line with the kilt.

Until you become comfortable with your own personal "look", try to avoid kilt accessories that are too costume like. A jacobite shirt is great at the highland games but may not be suitable for daily wear.

Look at the photos in Hamish's album.

I hope these comment help.
Welcome to our little corner of the web.
Post a photo if you have one, and strap on your kilt and get out there.
