kilt trumps accessories?

I think it's not that the kilt trumps the accessories, but that an understated look of style trumps an overdone costume. Less is more, so to speak.

Too many people seem to want to make it a grandiose set of plumage, but I'm really starting to like the look of simplicity with style. I think with most people, this is a function of how long they've been wearing it.

I agree with the kilt usually being warn as a costume. I think the few folks out there who wear a kilt wear it so little and only to special events that they only have one set of accessories(shirt, hose, shoes,ect...)

I wear it very often, at least once a weekend. And its clothes to me. Yeah, I have certain socks and belt/sporran but other than those, its just my regular clothes.

At our local Scottish heritage society, I wear the kilt to every meeting and I had been hounding this Macleod fellow to wear his kilt for about a year. He finally wore it to a event. He had a cream Jacobite shirt, cream hose, jeweled sgian dubh, dress sporran, ghillie brogues, and tartan flashes. Said it took him an hour and a half to put on and that THIS is how your supposed to wear the kilt.

To each his own, I reckon.

Agree 100/cent! Style is an often overlooked thing, and often confused. Fashions come and go but good style is timeless.

That pretty much covers it.
