Too Traditional?

[davidlpope]

I guess there might be a certain disconnect (interpreted as an affectation) if one usually dresses very informally (jeans, undershirts worn as outer clothing, short pants when not exercising, etc.) on a daily basis but wears a jacket, waistcoat, and necktie with one's kilt.

On the other hand, if one wears a suit and tie every day to work, to worship on Sundays, and a tie, slacks, and blazer when taking the bride out for a nice dinner on Saturday night, it doesn't seem out of place to wear a tie and tweed jacket when kilted (when the weather is appropriate).

For those of us who didn't grow up wearing the kilt, perhaps it comes down to a question of who you want to emulate: the middle-aged American in the puffy pirate shirt with the big sword and blue facepaint or those Highlanders who have worn the kilt from birth in the manner of their ancestors...
