How does what "they" think affect what you wear?

When kilted, I stick out just by being there. They won't remember me as a person one way or another, but they will remember the jerk in a skirt, or the gentleman in the kilt. It is up to me to decide that for them.

My sentiments exactly. I try my best to be the gentleman in a kilt. If anyone thinks I am the former then it is their problem and I don't care because if that is their perception then nothing I could say or do would change that.

In my local and for my events kilts in their various styles are considered festive and nonconformist.
Heritage is acknowledged but not paramount.
