The other day, I came across this excellent quote from the website,
http://www.kilts.co.nz/mitcgklt.htm
which I think reflects the naked truth about kilts.

..."There is a lot of hype and some snobbish dictates about how, when and where kilts can be worn, and by whom. The fact is, anyone can wear a kilt, anywhere, at anytime, in any way. As horribly or as magnificently as they feel. It is simply an article of clothing, generally expensive (at least when new, and when in good condition), durable, and fashionable for all times and places. It was worn by poor highlanders with hardly a thread to their name, and by wealthy landed gentry or aristocracy. To-day times are different, but there is still the option to wear a kilt as you can afford it and in accordance with normal dress sensibility suitable for the occasion."...

It couldn't be said more plainly than that. This clearly speaks to those harboring a degree of apprehension about breaking the (nonexistant) "special occasions only" rule. I hope the quote is useful for those up against a bit of resistance.
