Mini-kilt suitability

[Martin S]

SHOULD a guy wear a mini-kilt?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!

don't overreact, please.


I too would have answered, no, I would not buy a mini-kilt.
But, having acquired one inadvertently and, thanks to its quality, tried wearing it, I have found out that it is rather nice not to have any cloth rubbing round the back of the knees.

I'm tempted to say: Give it a try before letting your prejudices speak for you.

I have a friend who has been wearing very short white socks with his kilts (regular tartan full-length). I think this looks awful, but who am I to tell him what is right or wrong? Just because I have prejiudaices about white socks looking girly, does not mean everyone thinks the way I do.

So I have to try it before I can dis it?

I hate to sound callous here, but "wearing a mini-skirt" is the sort of thing I can put into the same category as "eating styrofoam" or "riding a unicycle" -- they're all stuff that I'm so reasonably sure aren't going to work for me that I can happily dismiss them without the "benefit" of experiencing them.

It's judgement, not prejudice.

What do you have against eating styrofoam?

As for buying a mini-kilt... Only for a female acquaintance that would actually wear it. Otherwise, no. I like my kilt at the knee, thank you very much.

I think that's an important point. I've had occasions to wear skirted garments of different lengths, and sometimes a kilt at it's proper length is too long and sometimes it's too short. But fiddle with the length too much and it's just not a "kilt" anymore.

Then, too, being mostly guys here has an impact on your answer because guys don't usually look at other guys in a kilt for the same reason a girl will look at a guy in a kilt. Why do us guys like mini-kilts on a girl? Well, for much the same reason my female friends were asking for a mini-kilt on me! (Maybe my legs don't look all that bad, after all...)

... In short, they tend to look bad, odd, and imply negative things about his "manhood."...

Actually, the implications about the manhood would not be able to stand up to the exposure of his "manhood"!

I personally LOVE mini-kilts! ...

Here you are then!

...I do like looking at them though.

And you too!

On a LASS, well THAT's a WHOLE different story (and something I think isn't done enough)....

And you as well!

They're great lookin on the female of the species...

Thank you!

...On some women they are very attractive, on others they look like the mule's breakfast.

Tell me, which one is this? Be very careful when you answer that question!



Be well,

In other words, a little mystery is nice. The human imagination works much better with 'it might be' than 'it is'.

Do I see the word 'Perfect' emblazoned across you in that pic? For that is definitely a most appropriate word!

Here you are then!

You look very nice in that mini kilt. I, myself, would not (especially with the fishnets and pumps).

Nice

Fine if that's your thing. Don't honestly believe it has a place here.

When I make kilts for myself I make them 25 inches long. When that kilts' wasitband rides right around my navel, the selvedge is about mid-knee. 24 inches is OK, as well, just a little bit higher.

At the Ben Lomond Games last year I bought a Scottish National "cheapo" kilt, just because the price was right and I've always loved the Scottish National tartan. This kilt is 22.5 inches long. When I wear it at navel level, the selvedge is about an inch and a half above my knee. That's short. It's not miniskirt short, it' s not crawling up my thigh (thank God) but it's shorter than I normally like it..

I used to be a little bit paranoid about it, now I don't worry about it. That kilt has turned into my "Games" kilt, 'cause I don't mind beating it up and getting it sweaty and dirty.
