I am on the fence about white socks, but I do not scrunch up my soaks, even when wearing casual clothes. I am covered in tattoos from both of wrists up to my neck, and I wear Harley boots a lot, but I just can't scrunch the socks down.

I always wear the kilt hose up, I have tried the scrunched down look but it was not comfortable to me, to each their own I'd say.

This is simple: Would you wear that shirt with pants?

Then you can wear it with a kilt.

NO!

Remember that this is an international website and "pants" have a very different meaning in some parts of the world.

This is my "around the house" kilt and not one I'd wear out, the company said as a sports kilt it can be worn on the hip but idk.

But that's the shirt.

It looks like a good, casual combo to me. I say, wear it!

Aye, same here. It just feels off about having the socks down, especially since it's typically cold here (30's-40's)

I think you just showed me the only way I can get my 13 yr old daughter excited about me wearing a kilt!

I see nothing wrong with the Doctor Who t-shirt with a kilt. The only thing that came to my mind was: is the pattern on the front of the shirt going to be fully visible with the kilt at a proper height? If the kilt has a high rise and covers part of the pattern, it might look awkward. Maybe pair it with some Doc Martens as a nod to the current Doctor.

On the question of kilt vs. trousers; my 1894 tailor's cutting manual on trousers includes the kilt. At that time tailors considered them to be pretty much the same sort of garment. So I agree with the comment to wear what ever you would with trousers with a kilt. The kilt is just another way to cover your neither regions.

It appears to be the same Sport Kilt mentioned in another thread, and they're designed to be worn at the trouser waist, so he won't have that problem. Me, I stopped wearing graphic tees when my long-waisted build and weight gain forced me to wear shirts in a tall size (despite being only 5'8") lest I flash my belly every time I raise my arms more than 45 degrees.

But now that I've finally lost the weight, I've long since gotten out of the habit of thusly touting my taste in entertainment...and since my favorite band is Bad Religion, their "crossbuster" logo would be a far more controversial choice than a benign tribute to a TV series.
