What say thee? Kilted on Norway's Independence Day?

I can't quite make up my mind, and turn to the rabble for help..

Should I kilt up on Norway's Independence Day tomorrow or should I don my regular suit? Unfortunately the only kilt-jacket I got is a PC, so kilted I'll simply be sporting a shirt and tie (maybe a simple knit west or something as well).

What would the Rabble recommend? Kilt up or suit down?

Well, given that fact that I don't actually own more than 2 pairs of pants, neither of which is appropriate for going out in public, I have say kilt. Norwegian independence is as good a reason as any!

Personally, the way I see it, if I'm still breathing, it's a good excuse.

You come to a kilt forum asking if you should wear a kilt so what you're really looking for is justification. Let me enable you. If you don't wear your kit you're a ninny!

I only ever wear MY Kilt on days that have a "Y" in them! Norway's Independence Day has two Y's in it. That's not to say you should wear two Kilts... at the same time.

Yeah, that was quite close to the answer I was looking for...

The only thing I'm a bit worried about though, is that the kilt will in some way stand out negatively against all the Norwegian national costumes on this, for us, the very most Norwegian day of them all..

I say go for it!

Men in kilts are HOT. Wear a kilt tomorrow and give the ladies something to look at.

Wear it. If anyone says anything, tell them the protocol experts at XMTS said it was OK.

Is your "regular suit" any more Norwegian than your kilt?

Thinking about English Bloke's response, I count 5 Ys so far:
Norway's Indenpendence Day (2)
Today (1) ( well, tomorrow it will be today

)
Tuesday (1)
May 17 (1)

So you need to change into a different kilt 5 times tomorrow.
