Utilikilts and kilt hose?

[GG]

Thank you guys. I have been convinced, I guess. Yesterday I wore my black UK with black kilt hose and wind breaker and it was all right and looks quite acceptable, I think and by all means perfect for the weather.
As you can imagine from the picture it was quite a windy day and only 5 degrees C.

My preference for the Utilikilt is to wear it with scrunched down hose and boots, but I do sometimes wear it with knee high hose in winter.

What's cool about Utilikilts is the wide range of "looks" different people go with.

At a recent large Highland Games at which there were a very large number of Ukilt wearers I noticed this variety.

Some people were wearing the complete traditional Highland Dress but with a Ukilt substituted for a tradkilt. For example one guy had on Lovat Green hose, ghillies, a trad leather Day sporran, a trad tweed Day kilt jacket, and Lovat Green Balmoral bonnet... in short the complete trad Day Dress outfit but with a Ukilt. It looked good to me.

Then there was the opposite extreme one could say, people wearing their complete ordinary daily dress but with a Ukilt substituted for their pants: sneakers/trainers, low socks, T-shirt, and baseball cap with their Ukilt.

One oddity was a person wearing a full head-to-toe Renaissance costume but with a Ukilt (funny, I didn't know that Ukilts existed in Elizabethan times).

And there were many who wore Ukilts as part of an entire integrated "look" with Dr Martens etc.

I was just checking out some sporrans on ebay and wondered how one would look with my UK mocker...hmmm...
Anyone have any UK-sporran pics?

The wife makes fashion calls in our house. My wife's opinion on how kilts are worn are as such (in general):

Fancy - the whole kit
Dress - hasn't come up yet
Business casual - polo with nice shoes like what Sport kilt calls cali brogues
Casual - T and combat boots

She considers the any none plaid kilt but the khaki to be casual. The khaki can be a business if worn with a nice shirt. Kind of like khaki jean over blue jeans.
