Why do we have to justify wearing a kilt?

[chrisupyonder]

This has been bothering me for a while and the number of posts I see where people seem to need to justify their reasons for wearing a kilt. Also the number of times I have been asked "Why are you wearing a/your kilt?" I was asked again this evening and could not think of an answer and thought why should I have to have an answer?

Some need to say they are honouring their ancestors/country/tradition/clan etc. etc. Well thats fine if you need or want a reason.

But is there really a need for this justification?

It is an item of clothing, period. No need for any justification, just wear it whenever/however and whatever type of kilt you want.

Next time someone asks why, I will just reply "Why are you wearing pants?" (Another man wearing a kilt would never ask.)
