Wearing a kilt to work

[Mael Coluim]

You have the major hurdle jumped! Your supervisor says go for it!

For the last four months, I've been wearing a kilt to work on Fridays and using the take off from casual Friday to Kilted Friday.

Wear what you are comfortable with, AND

from the Old Dominion State!

Adam, Welcome to the neighborhood

What model UK are you wearing? I'd suggest different shirts depending on the model kilt. If it's a mocker or original, you would pair it up just like a pair of dockers or slacks and it should be very easy to put together a perfectly acceptabel outfit by the modern business casual standard. Golf shirt, t-shirt, long-sleeve, short sleeve. That's one of the great things about kilts, the way it is so versatile in style of dress. What you pair it with determines if it is formal, semi or casual.

My first kilt to work was a UK survival, and I'd just pair it with a golf shirtand hiking boots (with socks pushed down, exactly like I'd wear shorts).

Experiment a little in the mirror and check out the casual kilt photos here till you find a look that you like.

Having been on both ends of the scale - total acceptance and prohibition - at work would guess it doesn't matter much what you wear with the kilt, the kilt will be the issue if there is one.

Only suggestion I have is to wear exactly what you'd wear with pants on a casual Friday only substitute the kilt for the pants - if that works for you.

If you feel the need a tartan shirt can add to the cultural message of the kilt.

It helps if the turnout looks nice though. Check Hamish's gallery for coordination ideas. He has a lot of UKs. I have some UK's at work pics in my gallery too but don't know how helpful they'd be.

Enjoy the freedom your boss has given - it is a gift.
