Kilts as Goth wear.

[Raphael]

Just because kids wear black make up and chains, they may not be goth in the true sense. Goth is about attitude and the fascination about the darker side of human emotion. It is about embracing the feelings that most of us see as outcast and unhappiness. Most goths seek to live lives that most people consider as childlish and obscure.

Goth's Fashion sense and musical style evolve from the Punk and BDSM Scene. That's why you see Goths walk around in chain, leather, PVC and tall black boots. Punks and Goths want to be different than the main stream society and many of them choose to wear skirts to challenge the fashion trend. Some of them will wear kilts from Lip Service and Utilikilts because they are readily available. Mind you, most of them are not looking for the tradtional look of Kilts. Don't expect your Goth Buddies to follow the preaching of Hamish or Todd.

In the Goth Scene, Skirted men are not consider cross dressers. It is the norm of the community and there are plenty of Goth guys wearing kilt, solid colour and tartans. Mind you, they didn't dress up to look like girls, but the Goth girls have different views on what men should look like.

Tip for the kilt makers: Goths will spend money on clothes and they are less likely to whine about the price. If you are to expand your market, look at the Goth Scene. It could be your next gold mine.
