casual look

[Monkey@Arms]

Q: is the wearing of the "flash" considered more than casual??

Q: When is it appropriate to have a Sgian Dubh??

Q:Should a sporran be worn most times??

Q:Wide belt? belt w/ sporran??

Thanks guys!!

First, repeat after me. "Its clothes, not costume." Meaning you can dress as you like, this isn't a rules type thing, people have different styles.

I personally usually only wear flashes if I'm wearing shoes, not boots (and when casual I usually wear boots.)

I generally only wear a sgian when I'm going to be with other kilt wearers, or am dressed more formally. (I know a full-time kilt wearer that always wears flashes and a sgian.)

I always wear a sporran with a traditionally styled kilt (and a wide belt unless I'm wearing a vest or sweater), but you don't have to. (Riverkilt often wears photographer- style vests to hold his stuff).

Again, the point is doing what's right for you.

If you haven't already, you might want to look at the pics in the style threads, to see what others wear when they go causal, and decided what you think looks good for your lifestyle.
