I am a pragmatist. I also hate the cold weather... tough considering I live in Ontario where temps can fall well below zero F. in the depths of winter. It snowed today - a harbinger of days to come.

If it gets too cold... I wear trousers. In the past, and on accasion still do wear kilts in some pretty brutal conditions... but not as a general rule.

Warm kilt hose are important to me this time of year. I do wear them with boots and then change into shoes indoors... nobody has ever commented to me that kilt hose with boots looked goofy - in winter, health and survival overrules fashion.
