how to wear modern kilts

[Alan H]

Wear it how you want and don't let the stuffy kilt police tell you otherwise.

Jeez, the guy in the blog isn't even the kilt police. He's some wiseass, stuck-on-himself bozo who's seen a few kilts, writes for the paper and thinks he should tell everybody what to do while he holds his snobby nose in the air. At least the tartan kilt police have some vague notion of WHY they say what they do, and some actual tradition to refer to.

Saved by a winky emoticon--I think. I originally wrote "bastards" instead of "stuffy kilt police", but I chose to be less harsh because I know there are those HERE who don't totally disagree with the author of the article. In fact, there are some here who don't like anything about "contemporary" kilts (or MUG) wear. We've all read enough anti-contemporary threads on the XMTS to attest to that fact. And I figured it wouldn't be long before the "tartan kilt police" showed up to shun UK wearing altogether--or at the least to come up with a more "authentic" way to wear a UK. So I did some generalizing, but hey... My point is that UKs are, for the most part, inherently CASUAL. Sure one can dress up-scale-ish in a UK, but for me they are all about wearing them how, when and where I want without ANY "traditional" rules of the kilt burdening the enjoyment. No need for hose, shoes, tucked in shirts (or a shirt at all) depending on the situation. Want to wear a UK with flip-flops? Why not? Going shirtless and barefoot in a UK? Why not? Tank top, lime green Crocs and a well worn Cowboy hat with a UK? Why the hell not?

I posted earlier to wear it how you want.........

Then I looked at a thread about wal-mart people, after seeing the guy in the girls mini........ I'm thinking maybe some things are a little too much.

Seriously that's just wrong.
