1 Kilt 10 Looks : A Visual Guide to Formality in Highland Attire

[McMurdo]

Looks great. I think the "very casual" could even go so far informal as t-shirts. I generally wear my Ardbeg t-shirt if I'm going to wear my kilt to Scottish Country Dance class.

I would have worn a T-Shirt, but it is still too cold up here for just a T-Shirt.

This is a great spread!! I just forwarded it to my lads in the regiment.. We believe you have missed one type of event......BATTLE!! (it's the 18th century Highlander in me!) . You can go to our website to see what the fashionable man wears in battle.

Great lesson in kilt wearing. I also vote that this should be a "sticky".

I deeply appreciate what you gentlemen have put together here and it comes at a very timely position, as I was asking this VERY question today!!!

Thanks you for the time and effort you placed into this process. I hope your info is maintained in the Tutorial section till your grandkids come of age. This certainly will need to be “pinned” on the forums.

This is a marvelous thread. As someone who was never really around kilts much, I very much appreciate the work the two of you did for this. It shows me there is more to the wearing of kilts than i ever imagined.

One comment: The one thing I always really found interesting was the shoes worn with a kilt. When i did finally notice kilt wearers, most of time the men were wearing boots; work boots, hiking boots, army boots, and yes even cowboy boots. To me they just didn't fit. From what you both presented on the first level, the boots fit with the total look of the outfit. After that, Jamie went with different types of shoes while Glen kept the boots for the next two outfits. And they were ok too. I guess i just am not too crazy about boots with kilts.

And I also vote for a sticky!

This basically answered so many questions that I no longer need to waste forum space on. Great idea....
