    Here we go again...

    I didn't find this picture to be especially a "Kilt Don't". The model is wearing a modern kilt , not a traditional one. It is obviously designed to be worn longer, at the hips, without the accessories. I think he looks fine, he's ready to go out to the clubs and dance with some very hip young ladies to some Frankie Goes to Hollywood or Duran Duran... (I think I just dated myself, which would also make me an outdated dinosaur).

    Would I want to wear that? N O ! I think the point of this whole thread has been to show people wearing things improperly or showing strange clothing badly presented as a traditional kilt. This picture does neither. It is what it is. If you aren't a fan of the look that is understandable. But I don't think it qualifies as a "Kilt Don't"
