But if you wear a traditional tartan kilt with a traditional sporran (simple or fancy), and flashes in your long socks, you are sending out a signal that cannot easily be mistaken.
I fully agree, hence the 'almost.' I can and do dress very cookie cutter for certain types of places and I can dress very casual for others.

As a rule of thumb: The more cultural the place is, the less I feel the need to follow "tradition."

Museums? I dress as I please, including solid colored kilts.

Drunken rib burn off? Bright tartan kilt, hat complete with pompom and clan badge.
