Would you wear white socks with black dress shoes and pants? Some tend to feel that the kilt is a symbol of "freedom". Well guess what, it isn't. A kilt is no more a symbol of freedom than a pair of kakis.

And that goes back to what I said earlier - the very reason that the trousered majority will never switch to kilts for anything other than weddings or Ren Faires because they regard kilts as too stiff & formal. I might be new to kilts but don't recall reading anywhere that they can only be worn by Sean Connery lookalikes for audiences with The Queen. They're far too comfortable to just be worn when wanting to look like a doll in an Edinburgh tourist shop ;)
