What's wrong with this picture?
So, I really want to respectfully tell this guy what's wrong with his kilt, but since I am so new to the Kilt Life myself and haven't gotten my first one yet (I have 2 ordered), I wanted to pick the brains of the seasoned vets on here. While there are some fashion faux pas, my greatest focus is on the kilt itself.
Here's what I see:
- His over shirt is not tucked in
- His socks aren't long enough
- The pleats are in the front
- It looks like there could be an elastic band at the bottom of the pleats (look at his right leg) and/or they are sewn down so that they don't flatten
- It is too long
- Not sure, but it looks like there is a loose piece of cloth just kinda hanging there next to his left leg
Is this a type of kilt that I have not seen before? Please help.

Regarding 4, basting stitch not removed? If the individual was standing upright,agreed, I have a feeling the kilt might go to below the knees. For 6, looks like the end of the front/now rear apron might be loosely knotted? Sadly, if one could see the face, there may be a proud smile.

What other clothing and how they wear what they choose to wear with their kilt is immaterial. It is none of my business what another person chooses to wear with his kilt.
But if we stick just to the kilt this looks like someone who has just received his first kilt and has not yet learned to wear it.
It appears that this kilt is being worn backwards.
And it appears that the basting stitches are still in the kilt from when it was shipped.

The obvious thing is that the kilt is on backwards. Also, it is probably too long. Beyond that, he is just sloppy.

No smile, but a look of immense pride... I edited out his face

My impression is that the guy borrowed one of his wife's pleated skirts (or, in a family estate sale found an old kilt), and put it on backwards just to be funny. I refuse to believe that anyone who spent money for a kilt would not know which is the front and which is the back!

Nobody would be that stupid.... He's just facing the wrong way (in relation to the kilt) .
Think he qualifies as legally blonde, plonker.

I do not get enough information from the photo on the kilt (as it is hidden by the shirt) except that is on backwards. I'll bet it was designed to be worn higher and slipped down to the hips (possibly thinking that is how all clothes are worn).
