Kilts in a sci-fi short story
From a short story by Ursula Le Guin, "The Day Before Revolution".

<<They were very young students, very earnest: doe-eyed, shaggy, charming creatures from the Western Hemisphere. Benbili and the kingdom of Mand, the girls in white trousers, the boys in long kilts, warlike and archaic. They spoke of their hopes.>>

Well, might be a good story, but I am not a fan of long kilts. Too skirtlike for me. Even one of my UK's is too long for my taste, although I wear it often as I like everything else about it.
