Classic kilt style - as seen at large this summer in Scotland

[Troglodyte]

I am afraid I must differ, to my rather conservative mind, the patterned hose and fancy day sporrans are overdoing things a tad. Fine for some day events, but for me they are rather unnecessary, particularly for general day attire, these days.

Could this have been one of those day events they would have been fine for..?

The wondrous sporran being sported by the gent on the right looks like a museum piece, and the badger-mask is something of a classic, too.

Are they necessary as in vital for the success of the event? Who can really say, but a Highland Games is one of the occasions when a man can indulge in a bit of show, rather than dressing down.

Personally, I like to see a man making the effort, and would much rather see this kind of thing on a daily basis, than the ubiquitous denim jeans and hideous hoodie.
