The kilt conundrum ...

[RockyR]

For MOST people, it's other's reactions that hold them back... You have to take a big step over that "mental hurdle" of what others think. I wear a kilt DAILY, both in the shop and out in the "real world". Your have to have the strong mental determination to REALLY not care if people stare or giggle or look sideways at you. Once you can truly say "I am an original and don't care what others think", then you will be more comfortable in public.

If you're comfortable in your own skin, those around you will be comfortable. If you're NOT comfortable, those around you will be able to tell.

I can tell you this... after wearing a kilt daily for years now, I don't notice 99% of the reactions any more (and haven't for some time now). Also, when I DO notice someone staring at me, I have to try to figure out why they're staring... most times I forget that I'm in a kilt.

Stand tall and wear it with pride.

SIDE STORY... This summer we had a "50's party" in town where people got dressed up in 50's clothes. I wore jeans, a white T, pack of smokes rolled up in the sleeve and black & white wing tips. While walking around town in a CROWD of women and children, someone stopped me and exclaimed "I've never seen you with pants on before!". Now THAT statement turned more than a few heads. HAHAHAHA
