Modern kilts have been brought up and it has been noted that they do not follow the same rules/conventions of traditional Highland wear.

Even though they are not traditional kilts, the contemporary kilt wearer can still take a page from the traditional kilt wearers book to look sharp.

Such as:

Short waisted jackets are going to look better than full cut ones with such a kilt.

Matching your belt and shoe color

Coordinating colors of the shirt to match the socks (even if they are "scrunched down").

Tucking in one's shirt

Having neatly pressed pleats

Learning to do "The Sweep" before sitting down to keep them that way

Never wearing a rubber chicken

The point being that good information is good information.

The kilt wearer who regualarly reads XMTS is going to be a lot more "in the know" about how to put together their own look because of all the great advice here.

Cheers
