Why should I wear a kilt?

After searching up, down, left and right, I cannot seem to find any threads/articles about why one may wear a kilt. Thus, I am here asking you all - why do people wear kilts? Is it a trend, a way to pull in fine women () or...

What should I know about wearing kilts? I've only read that Scotsmen, etc, where them to formal occasions.

Give me a quick lesson!

Thanks! But that doesn't tell me why wearing a kilt is viable.

Because they'll arrest naked people.

To each his own, but exactly why? Is there a particular reason?

That's ... for all people. No clothes - no publicity.

The answer is easy for me, it is my national attire.

This is more of what I was looking for. And to be honest, it's a great answer.

I know Scotsland is where wearing Kilts first originated. I read that much. But do you all wear other clothing?

Not sure the kilt is right for everyone. Some people might not feel right wearing one, or feel that a traditional kilt is not quite right for heritage reasons.

Some members are not kilt wearers, but enjoy seeing the highland attire, or the contemporary styles, or even just enjoy the site.

I enjoy looking at the great designs on many of the kilts, but it seemed more of a "religious" thing to me; or more or less "traditional to certain countries."

Either way it goes, wearing a kilt in public is not an option for me. Maybe to certain events that call for them.
