I have just returned from shopping at one of my areas big shopping hubs. One part of that area is a hangout for the down and outs, substance abusers and the like. I had to go to this area to get some items. I was kilted as I usually am and if there is one place you can get abused and hasselled for any reason, this is that area. Today I got, nice kilt, an extremely polite request to tell if I wore "jocks" under my kilt, hey scottie great to see you wearing that thing, hey man where can I get one of those kilts? you look great, and a few other compliments with adjectives that I can't print here.
I find that as long as you look confident and purposeful, people are more interested in complimenting you than hasselling you. The most sniggers I get are from boys of highschool age, that is until any girls they are with, decide that they think it looks sexy, then the boys nod in agreement.
I also find that if someone is intent of giving you grief, a smile, a Gday mate and great to see you, enjoy the rest of the day, leaves them silent and confused.
Most of all I find wearing the kilt for everday things you may do is all to do with how comfortable you are with yourself. No one can teach you to be so, you have to work at it and find what suits you. Cheers
