But the simple truth is that there's nothing you can wear in hot weather that you're not going to sweat in. At least in a kilt I can gently sway back and forth and let the pleats fan some air up under there. When wearing trousers or even shorts, it's virtually impossible to get any air flow. I wear regular woolen hose as well. But I do switch over to a sensible shirt and brimmed hat when outdoors in the unforgiving Texas summer sun.

But the big difference here is that people who live in hot climates are more accustomed to the hot weather. They may be perfectly comfortable in a kilt where someone from Scotland would be miserable. You just have to do what makes sense for you.
