Out of sincere curiosity, if women have appropriate women's clothing to wear in competition, why do some prefer to wear men's clothing when solo piping? I can't imagine a man showing up for competition in the outfit that lovely lady is wearing. I even have trouble understanding it in band piping, but I assume uniformity is the reason there.

I'm not wanting to offend anyone's wife, or sister, or mother, or friend, or... but I think women always look better in a pleated tartan skirt, designed and constructed for a woman, than in a man's garment somehow adapted for them. I'm somewhat old fashion I guess.
