Wearing a kilt to increase self-confidence?

It sure has helped me.

I agree wearing a kilt builds confidence, even if a man starts from a confident place, wearing the kilt seems to boost that confidence.

A confident kiltie packs for a multi-day trip and only packs kilts - no pantz.

A confident kiltie can drop into a convenience store and pick up a box of tampons for his wife/daughter/girlfriend with no embarrassment.

A confident kiltie can be at ease following his wife/girlfriend through the women's department of a department store.

Stones is just stones. But a kilt polishes those stones.

No...
I wear a sporran to increase self-confidence.

I feel nervous when wearing a kilt without a sporran. Guess it's just what I'm used to, but if I have on the sporran i'm not worried about having on a kilt...

Just something I realized when thinking about it.

I am finding that wearing the kilt increases my confidence while wearing the kilt. In my part of the world, the only time you will see a kilt is when someone is playing the pipes (and that not very often).

I have thus far only worn a kilt to Scouting events. I have expected negative comments about not being in complete uniform, but thus far there have been none. Most comments have been from those of Scottish descent wanting to know to which clan I belong. (none) Most seem to realize that when I wear a kilt I wish to honor another.

I have found that now I don't feel any different than I do when decked out in full formal "Class A" uniform with neckerchief and all my awards dangling off my chest or around my neck. In fact, I probably feel more comfortable and confident in the kilt.

LOL!! Ain't it the truth!

Two years ago I started wearing kilts exclusively - to work, play, shop, etc. In all this time I have only heard one negative comment and it was from someone driving a beatup pickup truck who looked as though taking a bath was not a top priority. Since I work in a business office located in a large business you would expect to get a wide range of comments. Not so. All have been complimentary, expecially from the attorneys and accountants that work in the building. Of course I wear dress shirts with my kilt (I currently have 18 - including solid color Boulder Kilts from SportKilts for the office and solid color kilts from Utilikilts.). Now no one pays any attention.

When shopping it is the women who pay compliments and they are not bashful when doing so. So, wearing a kilt 7 days a week is now as natural a thing as wearing pants once was.

At the boarding stable where my two retired horses are it is fun to watch all the other horses when they see me coming because they now know that the pockets of my Utilitkilt are filled with horse cookies and they expect to get a treat.

A kilt for all seasons, for all reasons. Easy to do. Oh, and ALWAYS regimental.
