When I am meeting with my client, I am all business. I would put on my finest suit, Shirt pressed with starch and a silk tie. I am there to do a job and I respect my firm. But when I am away from my work, I am a different person and my boss knows that. She has no problem about how I look or act outside of the firm. If I make her money, she is happy.

Although there are times that she wishes me to stop dressing up like a funeral director. Then I showed up wearing my dark suit with a red shirt and a black tie. She was happy with it. She thought that it was a pretty stylish combo. Of course, Marilyn Manson often wears an assemble similar to that.

Even when I wear my kilt to my office, I would have my shirt tucked in with a tie around my neck. My hose will stay up and my shoes will be polished. As far as I know, I can still present a professional image with my kilt while meeting with people.

The business of telling others to stop dressing a certain way is nonsense. I view this as a form of censorship. If we really live in the land of the free and the braves, why cant one evolve the traditional thinking to something new?
Well, if you can get away with wearing a kilt at work, good on ya! My boss would have a heart attack. That being said, if your boss does not care what you do outside of work, thats great too. I just realize that it is not like that in every career, even if it should be. I definetly agree with you on censorship. Wear what you like, and do what works for you in your life. Your choice in garments certainly wont bother me any.

I think the one thing we can agree on is that when wearing a kilt, some one should try to look "tidy." I dont mean that in an uppety way. Raph, in your polo shirt leather kilt, and I assume some black boots, you look good. Could I pull that off, heck no. I stick to what I think I look good in. My point is this, however you choose to wear a kilt from punked out to staunch traditionalist, it can be done neatly and sloppily on both accounts. I think we should all aim for neatly, but that is just my opinion.
