To those who are concerned about being allowed to wear a kilt to work...

I think it's interesting that, in Vegas, you need a notification when it's officially Autumn. In Montana we just look at the trees.

Excellent use of diplomacy; forbye, yon kilt's o'er-guid fae the likes o' them.

We have a pretty strict dress code too. We work with the public, and our appearance reflects on the company--of course they're going to make you dress well and keep groomed!

Or they would maintain the kilt would be a distraction. Or ... pick from a host of excuses.

With my luck, it would have backfired and the dress code would have been made more strict and professional. At least, we're only business casual.

Besides, they just agreed to capris. Clearly, the administration is slow to change. We'll have to take baby steps.

Wise and appropriate. Good for you!

You can pretty much dress in a gorilla costume and still come to work where I work. If you've ever shopped on State Street in Madison then you know why I say that

Theres some crazy people working there. haha.

Well, if you had ever been to Vegas you would realize that, while here are a few places in Vegas that have dress codes, most visitors to Vegas do not dress with a sense of style or class. Nothing is too tacky to wear in Vegs!

That sounds like what happns any day on any street near me. Not that I consider myself a super sharp dresser, but there don't seem to be too many boundaries of fashion that won't be crossed on a daily basis.
