I am not going to use yardage, material or design to dictate when and where I am going to wear my kilts. No disrepect to all the kilt makers, but I am going to be the sole person to decide what I am going to wear for the occasion that I am attending.


That being said, I will try to answer your question from my own experience.

Stillwater is a very versatile kilt. You can wear it to the pub for a pint, date with your girlfriend, meeting up with friends and even for some informal gatherings. you can dress it up with a dress shirt or dress down with a t-shirt.

Utilikilts are less dressy with their cargo pockets and I think they are great for go out with friends and family or when you need to dress down to go to the movies or some kind of outdoor activaties. But you can wear one with a oxford collar shirt and you can still look respectable.

I am also a proud owner of 2 Bear Kilts, 1 PV and 1 Wool. I have worn dress shirt, tie and an Argyle Jacket with my PV and I think I look pretty respectable and smart. This winter, I intend to wear my Wool Classic cut in BC Tartan to attend my brother-in-law's wedding. With proper acessories, you can easily wear a 'Casual Kilt' to a semi-formal event.

Remember one thing, clothes don't make a man.
