To add my two cents... I don't wear vests, pullover sweaters (unless they have hoods), or collared shits unless I'm dressing up for something specific like a wedding. I understand that in some areas, for some groups of people, for some occasions, tweed is the traditional and common thing to wear with a kilt. I don't own a tweed jacket and don't plan on buying one anytime soon.

Like Four, I am generally under dressed. Comfort is my #1 concern. I've worn my PV kilt out and about with flip-flops. I usually where a T-shirt, kilt, hose, flashes, and chucks (All-Star tennis shoes) to the bar. In Southern California, that's what people wear, I just added a kilt to my repertoire.

If I were to ever go to a traditional dinner party or if ever asked to participate in a parade or official event, I'd need to buy some more 'traditional' accessories like a waistcoat or tweed jacket.

I agree with the majority of the replies here when they say it's more an issue of being over dressed for an occasion than being too traditional. And, if you feel funny or feel like you are putting on a costume, then that is going overboard. Like I've read many times on this forum, kilts are clothing, wear one with pride and comfort.

I know I don't wear my kilt traditionally, and, I fear being judged on my trip to Scotland. But, I hope they take pity on me.
