For me, the kilt is a garment! I wear the kilt for everything that I do!

I just returned fro a cruise through the Panama Canal and had a blast doing it kilted! Causual kilts for casual activities, full tanks for formal nights, and in-between kilts for the informal nights.

The posted dress codes for dinning on my cruise were:

Casual = Shirt and slacks
Informal = Jacket and tie
Formal = Tuxedo

The kilt fit in all these times and more.
