Help with a casual kilt outfit on a (teenagers) budget

Also, Alabama Kiltie, have a look at the Stillwater Nightstalker cargo sporran....Watch the film clip (button under the picture of the sporran) to see a good reason for wearing this particular one

The Stillwater Nightstalker Sporran is well worth the extra money you'll have to save. I have two others: a badger fur (Brock U mascot) and a black three-tassled day sporran. The cheapest ($10 - $20) is the black one, but it doesn't hold nearly as much as the Nightstalker.

I will second or third or fourth the Stillwater Nightstalker sporran as a really great value...I wear mine even with jeans and schlep all my junk around with me: notebook, phone, wallet, gum...the thing is like a TARDIS...bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside.

As far as socks go, soccer socks have been mentioned here as a readily available and inexpensive possibility. I've picked up a couple of pair but they look pretty thin when you wear them "up"...best to "scroonch" them and wear them with a lace-up boot or something similar. Keep an eye on websites for historical re-enactors...they often have some nice over the knee wool socks available at reasonable prices. Wool is great and is worth the bucks because it wears really well and is warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

And do not forget that the holidays are coming and your family may very well ask you what you want for Christmas (or the Winter Solstice based holiday of your choice). I'm obviously personally predjudiced, but the sharp lookin' kilted look is quite apropo to the festive Holiday season...hopefully your folks will agree with that concept and may very well pop for some goodies.

Best of luck in your quest for accessories...

Best
