how casual

**saecoman99** · 13th June 07, 01:11 AM

At this time of year when its 85-90 outside I like to go more casual in my
light weight kilts my question is the apperance of style ok when I put my sneakers and sluoch socks on and go.? It is just to warm to be in the long kilt hose .

Sure!

Push the socks down and maybe match the colour of the socks to the shirt. No need to melt when you wear a kilt

These days I wear my casual Kilt with no socks and Teva sandals.

No more stares than usual...

I am with you there when I am out walking the dog it's a t-shirt, my kilt and a pair of Caterpillar sandals, no hose or socks of any kind, however my level of formality tends to change with the situation.

Last weekend at the Potomac Celtic Festival, I tried wearing light weight cotton hose. I only lasted about 2 hours. It was just too hot for me. Luckily I brought along a pair of sandals. They definitely saved the day.

I personally don't see anything wrong with the look but my wife hates it. She only really thinks kilts look good with boots.

Whereas my wife keeps saying the sandals look great!

My Lady dislikes the pushed-down-hose look, so when I want it a little cooler I wear low top socks with my boots.

Wear what you feel comfortable wearing or what you would wear with shorts. Dress for the occassion.

I say wear what works for you and what you like.

I sometimes wear brown leather sandals with my utilikilt mocker or solid color Sportkilt. I always feel the look is less proud Scot and more like aspiring gladiator though...

Cheers
