how to wear modern kilts

[CMcG]

I was under the impression that modern kilts are like a pair of jeans; wear them however you like and casual is the name of the game. And then I came across this article in the Seattlest called "Lads, Learn How To Wear Your Kilts"...

The article is specifically about Utilikilts but I think we could extrapolate the opinions expressed to be applied to many types of modern kilts. The author admonishes Utilikilt wearers for being too causal and calls for "knee-highs, spats, and dress shoes" or "knee-high boots," sitting with one's legs together, and "fitted" tops preferably worn with a jacket or vest. I don't think I've ever seen anyone wear spats with a modern kilt and I thought the point was to be casual!

Granted, the only modern kilt I own is a tartan Sportkilt that I wear for hiking or lounging about the house, so I'm no expert on them... anyone else care to comment about this article? How do you approach wearing a modern kilt in 2010?
