Wear your most musically-inspired kilt... and wear it with pride!
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Being new to the kilt myself, I can understand your doubts. Ask yourself this: Will I regret it latter if I don't wear the kilt? Only you can answer that, but personally I think I would regret it.

No advice against it. Well, what else could I have expected from you here? And I should certainly regret, if I didn't take the opportunity. So right now, odds are for it.
Thank you everyone. I'll keep you informed.

Go kilted, take pictures, and post them here! Remember: No pictures - it didn't happen.

One of the things that tipped me in the direction of wearing the kilt was seeing a young man in his kilt and jacket attending a performance of Spamalot here in Chicago. We went on the evening of Christmas Day and this young man looked so good that it pretty much "put the nail in the coffin" as per my deciding to go out and get a kilt.
Thus, I would echo Jock Scot and say, "Just do it!"
A Dane in a kilt? How about a Chicagoan in a kilt...or a Vancouverite in a kilt or a....

I'm going to leave for the concert in about 15 minutes. And I'm doing it. I have taken this picture a few minutes ago. Ready to go.
5 yard woollen kilt, Douglas Modern tartan. Dark grey kilthose and tie. Black jacket, altered by a seemstress. Black semi-dress sporran, belt & buckle and shoes.

It is a very distinguished look.
(Personally, I'm a fan of black hose even though some folks here consider them best for formal wear.)
Nice to know that there are still a few folks out there who want to look their best when going to something special.

I always dress up when going to a classical concert. After all, the fact that musicians and conductor or – like yesterday - the soloist are always formally dressed I think that it calls for something from the audience as well. Some people do look their best but quite a few don’t seem to bother.
Yesterday was something special, of course, because I could wear a kilt. Normally the kilt is casual wear to me but I liked being able to dress up a little bit by means of accessories.
