Best not, if you want to be taken seriously.

If you want to be taken seriously as a kilt wearer I definitely would stay away from wearing a sword. That is not a normal part of THCD these days.

There is the problem of, should I because it is legal to do so. Mississippi has an open carry of firearms law but I don't always "tote a hog leg".
Look to the environment where you think you would want the blade as an accessory. The first issue, from the public's perspective, who is this person and why is he dressed so differently. You can overwhelm them with "too much, too soon" as far as attire, when an explanation will suffice for now.

a 16 year old wants to carry a sword when he is already dressed in a manner that will draw possibly unwanted attention in his neighbor hood.does this really need to be commented on?

Just me, but the kilt would be entirely incidental to me - focus would be on the sword - only because in my teenage foolish years I was attacked by another teen waving a sword around and threatening to use it. I also know of people killed by drug crazed people who used a sword to cut them up most thoroughly. I like how they "peace tie" swords and other bladed weapons at Ren Fairs. Nope, if I encounter a person with sword don't think I'd notice anything they were wearing...would be focused on the sword.

This doesn't only apply to me, and there's no need nor place for such un-critical, clearly biased commentary.
