I mean, if you went all Prince Charlie it might be not that kilt, but that you're overdressed.....on the other hand if you went all UK, it might not be the kilt, but that you're underdressed. Get where I'm coming from?

It sounds to me that if other people wear jeans then you'd be overdressed in a kilt. You could try dressing it down with walking socks, boots, and a t-shirt.

Casual rarely means "whatever you like" in a business environment. Most large companies still have policies that cover casual days. In fact due to the variety of casual wear and the problems enforcing it many companies are starting to go back to "business attire" rather than deal with their employees idea of casual.
