I am a fan of tweed caps, but not with the kilt. As to those baseball hat things I make no comment.
How and what people choose to wear is ,of course, up to them and it is also their right to look like a lemon, if they so choose. 
Well, Jock, I'm one of the Kilt-wearing Scots who disagree.
I think flat caps in a more traditional style can look great with a Kilt.
I wear one of the 'Jacobite' (Read 18th century) Kilt bonnets my wife made. They are floppy so that they can be worn in many styles as shown historically. I often wear it pulled forward in the style of a flat cap and think it compliments the look of my Kilt outfit.
I'd even wear it pulled into a Balmoral style for formal events!
