modern kilt outfit...any ideas?

Never, ever forget. Semantics aside, you are a dude wearing a skirt. That gives you license to wear what you want.

Personally, I don't dress much differently, kilted or otherwise. The vast majority of my wardrobe naturally goes together. Heck, I've worn a tropical print shirt and flip flops with my utilikilt.

However. Don't ever, ever, ever wear white socks with a kilt, or sandals and socks for any reason. Both of these instantly mark you as a goober.

I am prone to wearing my sporran with my UK and wearing my kilts on my hips vice above my navel. Both are offenses that would cause the pious around here would mock me as an infidel. However, I figure there is no reason being different if you are going to be different in the same way as everyone else who has decided they want to be different too.

You have a good idea already of what looks good on you. go with it.

I'm not a dude....i'm a dude-ette! Anywho...I don't even think those staements above are hard and fast rules. For instance, I've worn white popcorn hose pushed down with black boots, black kilt and white shirt....and I think it looks decent.
Also, depending on the type of sandal (not all will work) and the type of sock, this can look ok.

I'm a goober! I'm a goober! I'm a goober!

I wear sandals and kilt hose frequently !!

I'm a goober! I'm a goober! I'm a goober!

I'm a goober! I'm a goober! I'm a goober!

Not only am I a goober, but I have been to Mt. Airy, North Carolina. Drive south on the Andy Griffith Parkway, keep going for a couple of hundred miles, and you'll find my home town.

The short version is that I dress my feet for health and comfort. The assembled rabble are usually too well-bred to call me names, even when it comes to oatmeal hose and black sandals. With dark hose, I would not hesitate; but then I wear black socks and black sandals to church, too. Right now I'm wearing khaki troosers, ragg wool socks, and Chaco sandals; which may be a marginally better combination than the kilt...

Great point. From Utilikilt customers' top 100 reasons to wear a kilt:
