Today has been a record breaker in the South of England - at least I think so - I am dizzy with the heat.

The tarmac on the roads has been melting. It is now pouring with rain.

So - 4yard cotton kilt, polo shirt, short socks and suede and leather sandals with an enclosed toe - actually cooler than open toed sandals for walking as the air is pushed out on each step.

On venturing outside added Tilley hat and factor 60 sun screen - liveable out there but only just.

Getting into a car was like climbing into an oven.

This week has been a heat wave in the midwest, we topped out @ 106 today and this weekend I wore my khaki AK with my adidas samba indoor soccer (football) shoes and calf length white socks pushed down. I like the look of athletic socks pushed down with the low shoe because it gives a boot like line with the AK but that's just my visual. When it's cooler I wear Sketchers mid-high boots with hiking socks. I usually reserve the kilt hose for my trad kilt, dress occasions or cold weather.

In the current heatwave in England - OK maybe not as hot as some other places but definitely uncomfortable - I've been wearing my 7yd PV Ancient McKay casual, short sleeve shirt, Teva sandals and no socks.

One of my daughters refers to it as my Roman Soldier look. Some of my more traditional kilt wearing friends (fellow dancers) have called this look "uncouth." But I find it very comfortable and I get regular comments from folk I meet in the street or supermarket that "someone definitely has the right idea in this weather!"
