    An English Blogger Sees the Light in Cannes

    Hey, we're fashion Gurus now!

    Excerpt for the UK Telegraphs' Cannes Film Festival Blog:

    The kilt has traditionally been seen (in England at least) as a bit of a joke, but suddenly I saw it as an item of clothing for the first time. And I could see its advantages.

    In the heat of the South of France, it allows air to get to the parts trousers keep wrapped up. And the charcoal-grey pleated material is infinitely smarter than shorts. Wear it with a T-shirt for informal, with a jacket for formal.

    I feel like a fashion guru. Except the real fashion gurus probably spotted this ages ago

    Best regards,

    Jake

    Garish tartan!!!! The reviewer needs more exposure to kilts! But it is good that he sees it as a viable garment for men.

    Everyone needs more exposure to kilts, not just that one reviewer!
