    This is my two cents, but I think it'd just reinforce the idea of a kilt as a costume or as something goofy.

    I'd have to go with PhogFan on this one. If you want an excuse to wear it- go for it. But I wouldn't wear it with the intent of ridiculing the kilt. I agree it would be a good day to get away with wearing one, but not the way it sounds like your going to...just my opinion, you know what they say about those.

    Respectfully, I must disagree. Especially so, as everyone will be wearing mostly "normal" clothes, but in a tacky manner.

    Now then- If you want to really go all the way to tacky up the kilt, ditch the kilt hose and garters and substitute with regular over-the-calf dress socks with sock garters and sandals. From a kilted teacher to a kilted student(I presume), I say that you should wear your kilt as a normal piece of clothing, which is what it is. It's neither a religious garment, nor a uniform, nor any other form of purely ceremonial garb (when refering to civilians, that is).

    Wear your kilt with pride, but for that particular day, in the worst taste possible.
