Evolution of a Kiltie - Changing Tastes

[KiltedPilot]

My tastes have evolved also, but ageing is not a big factor -- it's more about learning curve for me. Until you see and wear a kilt design for the first, it's hard to know how a kilt is going to feel and look on you.

My Stillwater Ireland National (now sold) was one of the nicest looking kilts on me, but I never really liked the feel of it (thick waistband, acrylic wool). I like the feel and practicality of my Utilikilts Mocker, but disliked the stiffness of the material (splayed pleats). I never really liked the look of the neo-trad UK on me. I love the comfort of my Sport Kilts at home, but find its appearance is a little too casual for trips out.

The perception of scrutiny by others regarding my new choice of attire has also caused me to give increased attention to my appearance, causing me gain new appreciation on what does and does not work for me. Personally I feel I am iterating towards a better understanding of my tastes, rather than those tastes actually evolving.
