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

[Raphael]

You have to ask yourself a question: Do you want to adapt to the tradtional kilt fashion or do you want to adapt the kilt to your sense of style?

For socks...Hamilton Dry goods are GREAT. I have two pairs of their cotton kilt socks and while they're not the thickest things in the world, they do just fine for me and I have pretty darned big calves.

You want a really beefy-looking pair of kilt socks for cheap?

buy these:http://cgi.ebay.com/Scottish-KILT-SO...QQcmdZViewItem

These are also from Hamilton Dry Goods, but they don't advertise them on their web site. I have a pair and I love them. They're cotton, not wool, but they look great and you get a nice, thick roll-over with them.

Stillwaters deal on the basic black leather sporran cannot be beat....end of story.

For a belt, I went to Mervyn's and bought a regular plain black belt in my size. Then I went online at ebay and bought a nice looking celtic buckle. Put those together, and you're stylin'.

Just a hint.... if you wear a tie with your kilt, pick a SOLID color tie in one of the colors in the tartan, and stick with that. The kilt is a pretty "busy"-looking piece of clothing, the last thing you need is a tie that competes with it.
