Kilt concerns

[artificer]

This topic comes up from time to time. Despite what you may think, here in the U.S. the kilt is not a 'protected' class of clothing. You are not being 'discriminated' against if you are told by your employer that you may not wear it. Simply put, your employer (even if it's the federal government) has every right to set the dress code, and if that means no kilt at work, then that's their prerogative. There is no legally recognised basis for you to challenge it. This is not an EEO issue.

The one exception might be if women were allowed to wear skirts and you REALLY REALLY wanted to be a PITA. You might, possibly, be able to force them to either:

A) allow you to wear the kilt,
or
B) make it so they restrict women to trousers/shorts only as well.

The real question is "Do you actually want to be that big a pain for your boss"? (aka- is it really worth the trouble and inevitable bad feelings you'll generate just to be able to wear the kilt at work?)
