Wearing your kilt to other cultural events

[Kiltman]

Well that is an interesting question,. . . I would not, and do not have a problem wearing my kilt anywhere that I go. Does it bother some people, yes, do their prejudges effect me, if I allow them to. I have got to the point in my life where I can dress myself, and I am also grown up enough to not let what others wear bother me. I wish others would see it that way.

No matter where I go people of other cultures have had positive things to say about my kilt wearing with some of them it is because they are proud to wear the "costume" of their heritage and can therefore relate.

Yes, I wear a kilt much of the time and have never had a problem with other cultures. I've worn a kilt to Native American, German, Italian, Chinese etc. events. If asked, I tell them I wear a kilt to honor them and their ways. It always works.

I think if you have gone to the trouble of dressing well then that is a compliment you have paid to the company you are in. Look at the trouble women go to - new dress and shoes, visit the hairdresser, slap on the make-up, paint the nails, and what do men usually do, shower if they're lucky, throw on jeans and a T-shirt and they're ready. That is disrespectful. Take a little trouble and look good and everybody will respect you for it.
