Belson, sad to say it, but workplace attire is not a matter of "rights." You wear what the bosses want you to, within the limits of decency. At least in the case of any professional sort of job. And a whole lot of pass-through jobs, too. If the boss says "no" to a kilt, you don't wear it or complain about rights. It is likely the company has a posted dress code. I've worked places that require men and women to wear slacks. Black slacks. No other attire is considered acceptable. That was back when I worked at the local Subway and was making sandwiches all day. The customers could not see my legwear and the sandwiches certainly didn't care if I had on pants, shorts, jeans, or a kilt. But the boss said all employees must wear slacks while earning our $6.50 per hour. So, that's what we did.

Oh, and personal pet peeve, here. See that big button on your keyboard that has an arrow pointing toward the screen, that says "Shift" on it? If you hold that down when you type the first letter of each sentence, it makes reading your messages a whole lot more pleasant for me and many like me. Thanks!

Adam, any workplace that is accepting enough to allow men to step outside of the norm deserves the respect of at least dressing tastefully while wearing the kilt. I consider myself sort of a kilt ambassador when I wear mine and make an effort to look good enough that men envy me and women envy my wife. (I'm afraid that the physical side of it is getting in the way, but the clothing looks pretty darned good, I have to say.)

For a casual Friday, I also suggest a polo shirt or short-sleeved solid-color buttoning shirt with a solid color kilt. White shirt and plain black tie works great with almost any tartan. For a little less dressy, just the white shirt, or a powder blue if the tartan is fairly dark. Just so the colors don't clash. With a tartan kilt, it is good to wear kilt hose and black shoes, even if you don't wear the garter flashes. Soccer socks can sometimes work for impromtu kilt hose if you don't have anything else. If anyone says it looks too dressy for a casual Friday, consider that a form of permission to dress it down a little next time.
