If you can't wear a Kilt in honour of St. Paddy's Day, then show up Drunk .

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.

It did in the call centre I worked in Cardiff. You wore what you wanted to on casual day and you paid £1 for charity. Furthermore there was no dress code at weekends or Bank Holidays either.

Is there a company dress code? It might state something regarding what can and cannot be worn on casual days. If there is no dress code, wear your kilt.

That's really rough, man. I'm so sorry. Hopefully she'll come around at some point.

[Rigged]

Wear it to work anyway. If you are told that you cannae wear that, well then. Don't rock the boat, just take it off.

LOL!! I owe you a drink of the beverage of your choice!

Does it seem to be mostly women (bosses or otherwise) who are having the most problems with guys wearing kilts? What's with that? Is it a hypermasculine, overcompensation thing? Is it a "turning the tables, now you know how we felt" thing? I don't get it.

My most vocal critic against men wearing kilts is a female co-worker, "Why would a man want to wear such a thing?" She has no problem with the fact that while on duty, we all wear the identical uniform. Off-duty she mostly wears pants, but wears skirts sometimes too.

Next time she says something, I'm going to hit her with, "Women shouldn't wear pants." and see how she reacts.

the company dress code is "business casual". i've spoken to HR reps and they say a kilt is fine by the dress code but it;s up to the manager.

It is easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission

That's the ticket.

that right there is the death-roll. I had the same problem where I work. I recieved a lengthy, extremely eloquent email about diversity and enbracing cultures...but it was up to my manager. I feel for ya...

That's a bit different than the standard casual Fridays in the US.
