Hi everyone, haven't posted here for a while, but something has been on my mind as of late.

I've been looking into saving up to purchase another kilt, but this will be quite the leap for me, seeing how I am contemplating getting a modern, solid color kilt, probably from Freedom Kilts. I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to kilts, although I think if worn properly, these new kilts can be pretty great looking.

I've talked to the Wizard of BC a bit about this, but I think it's something I'd like to get more input on from a collective group. But anyways, to my problem.

I think it'd be rather challenging for me to wear one of these kilts, on the level of self-confidence in one. I do consider myself a confident person. I'm comfortable around people, I know how to conduct myself, and I understand my strengths and weaknesses, but I'm just not sure if I'd be able to muster up the self-confidence available to wear one of these new kilts. I find that traditional kilts are more accepted, because if people don't like them, they generally understand that it is a traditional 'costume' (I don't like reffering to it as that, but it's how some people see it). With a traditional kilt, even though I think they look pretty great, but the uneducated masses might be quicker to deduce that a non-trad is 'just a skirt', or mistake it for feminine attire. Being younger probably makes this a bit more challenging, as well. I'm still looked upon as 'just a kid', which could easily easily make the situation of having a traditional kilt more challenging.

Anyways, that's the ordeal that I feel stuck in, and I'd appreciate to get some input on it from any of you. If it's tips on how to work on the self-confidence in one of these kilts, motivation, or critique of my outlook, please tell me. I'll greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
