Necklaces with Kilts...??

**Riverkilt** · 9th August 05, 10:00 PM

Okay, first I'm sort of an old hippie (age 60, was there but don't recall much)...former herbal farmer and distributor of things hallucinogenic as well as a retired hard core boozer.

I like necklaces and wear them with some shirts. A cultural thing here in Navajoland too.

So, this morning I'm getting ready for work. UK Navy mocker and a white river shirt (flyfishing shirt). Cool in the heat and sorta dressy. But with all the solid color on the kilt and the shirt thought maybe a necklace would brighten things up.

Dang, adding a necklace just made the kilt look like a girlie skirt...even my masculine features, build, beard, and tattoos can't offset the combination of the kilt and necklace....

Even tried some old bolo ties I had left over from a fashion lapse...

So, switched to a print shirt and went to work.

Should I even be trying to make a necklace and a kilt work together??

They can work Ron, I wear one of shells that y brother going to school in Hawaii gave me for christmas, but only with a black t-shirt ands a contemporary kilt. I also wear a the Nordic Rune for good luck but that I tuck beneath my shirt and only the chain can be viewed. So, I say keep trying until you find one that works.

With my tartan kilts I have a bolo tie in sterling silver, no turquoise, that looks like a cross between celtic and native american work. It works really well instead of a solid color tie.

I think the secret would be to use a chunky necklace- like a leather strap with puka shells or something- on that is manly on it's own.

I've seen guys in necklaces and earrings and kilt and they didn't look in the least feminine- all their bling-bling was chunky, dark, and simply shaped.

I wear a triskele medallion all the time. It's on a short chain so it sits just below my T-shirt neckband. Doesn't look in the least feminine

Dread hit the nail on the head with this one...

I've got a thick (½") chainmail rope that works for me; it's not as anachronistic as a torque, but still harkens back to the celtic style...kind of an updated version I guess. It doesn't seem to look right over a shirt though, only on bare skin under an open collar or with a tanktop ('course, I think the same would hold true with a torque as well).
