Why do people need to deride anything other than a traditional kilt in order to justify their own skirt-wearing?
Fair point, some of the worst critics of any modern variation of the traditional kilt are the wearers of traditional kilts, I've been hassled at a highland games by two drunken kilties, one of whom insisted I must be gay because I was wearing a black kilt.
I often wonder why this should be so, a kilt is simply a form of skirt, it happens to be a particularly comfortable, practicable and sensible style of skirt for a man to wear because of the freedom of movement it offers and the health benefits from the airflow which it provides.
I won't deride H & M's creation, but if I do wear one I would regard it as fashionable shorts or a skort, rather than as a kilt.
