    I have to agree that the author's tone didn't do much to make me inclined to listen to much he had to say. That being said, here's how I wear my Utilikilt, a mocker:
    Shirts: Tees most often, with a sweater or fleece over it in cooler months, occasionally a polo shirt or casual button down. ALWAYS TUCKED IN. No matter what shirt it is, I tuck it in. Wouldn't want to hide any lovely pleats, now would I?
    Footwear: Usually a pair of 6-8" high logger-style boots or my hiking boots if I'm on the trail. I don't quite have the confidence to go with lower shoes yet and I always scrunch down my socks (SmartWool style) with my UK. Or if I'm at home, I'm barefoot.
    Knees: One of my favorite things about my UK is how the narrow apron falls between my knees when I sit down. Of course, I'm careful to maintain my modesty, but sitting with my knees together is just not comfy. And I'm wearing the kilt for freedom and comfort, dang it!

    Kilt On!

    I agree with what NewEnglander said, and just about nothing in that blog. The writer is entitled to his opinion, but mine is that he knows squat about wearing kilts of any variety, and UKs in particular.

    Best regards,

    The writer of that blog has all the "attitude" and "snobsnottery" that I associate with "Fashion" in the very worst sense. He's welcome to his opinion. If he has a job with the newspaper, I suppose he can get his opinion printed.

    However, as far as I am concerned, he can take his opinion and his overstuffed, self-important know-it-all attitude and dump them both in the Sound.

    Opinions are like what? Yeah everyone has one.

    You know you see everything now days, from cowboy hats with shorts and flip flops to cheap polyester suits with a tie made to look like a fish, to the hoard of mindless zombies in wal-marts across the US in various states of disarray.
    My personal favorite to make fun of is the female zombies in said wal-marts with unkemp hair in their filthy pajamas, you've all seen them, admit it.

    Having said all that, for what ever reason.

    It's your kilt, your the one wearing it, wear it how you want.
