If the kilt is restricted to formal wear or to a fashion set-piece some sort or another, as it has been until I guess Braveheart came out, it will become and remain a sort of artificial national costume, like that worn by pseudo Albanian shepherds at their national day celebrations here in the Americas- and of course the garb of pipe bands. I like the fact that the young folks in the photos and everywhere are wearing them around town with rugby garb and such, that is the only forward direction I see for the garment. And no 20-something year old should ever be forced to dress like a senior citizen- that leaves us of advancing and senior years a way to show our maturity and good judgement.
