    Topping off the contemporary kilt 2020 -21

    In addition to the current reality / current abnormal / moving to New Normal's limitation of non-paranoid, free travel...

    ...'have been topping off, wearing almost exclusively either (mostly Cabela's) long-sleeved safari shirts or (either wool or acrylic) wooly-pully sweaters with the non-tartan (5-11 TDK) kilts, as daily kit.

    Often with mid-calf plain colour hose and Dr. Martens general-wear shoes or 8-inch lace-up boots.

    And an amused thought came of fairly recent...

    ...none of those items of this "contemporary (very informal) kilted day-wear"...

    ....are items of traditional kilt garb. 'Kinda ironic.

    "...and the beat goes on...."

    ...during the summer, the contemporary solid colour contemporary kilts are oft topped off with a "Hawai'ian" shirt.

    However, 'tis a tad painful to even think of being out and about, demi-freely...someday...

    ...with us all wearing masks until...?
