kilted Halloween Costume

**Nick** · 25th October 06, 12:06 PM

I'm wearing a kilt as part of my costume at a Halloween party. The theme is "A Song", so the costume has to have something to do with a song. I'll leave it up to you which song I'm going for

Since I no longer consider the kilt as appropiate business attire, I think I will wear one of my kilts to work on Halloween day.

I believe the kilt can fit any occasion, informal, formal, AND business. I have been wearing kilts every day for about two months and will continue to do so.

I have a selection of kilts which allows me to not wear the same kilt twice in a week to the office. With the kilt I wear a button down dress shirt and tie. I have received nothing but compliments from others in the office building. Unfortunately most others have slipped from dressing casual to dressing slob so my attire does stand out.

The kilt is what you make it by what you wear with it. I could wear a T-shirt and the appearance would be quite different than it would be with a dress shirt. I think the same applies to a pair of pants (excluding jeans).

The saying most quoted is that you are what you wear. I think you can add to that by saying "and how you wear it."

The kilt has been worn in battle and at court. Likewise it can be worn at the market place as well as at the office. You make the distinction in how it is worn and with what it is worn. It is a man's garment for ALL occasions.

I agree that kilts can be worn in many if not most occasions, but if Raphael has decided that in HIS life, he's decided that a kilt is not something that he's comfortable with in the office, then it's his right to not wear one.

...just like it's his right to wear one to a costume party if he feels like it.

I doubt some lil old lady wants to walk by me while I'm on a ladder wireing up her ceiling fan and happen to look up (or maybe she does but I don't want her to) thats why I choose not to wear one at work.

Anyways I agree, most costumes include pants of so why shouldn't you be kilted? I'm sure unless he comes trick or treating at your door it won't bother ya a bit.
