Women in Kilts...

[Liam]

I haven't weighed in on this subject but here goes: My opinion on this is that YES the kilt is (or was) a male garment,,, but so are (were) "pants" and many other historical articles of clothing.... If the fairer sex want to wear them, they will, and well, I admire them in what ever they choose to wear (or not wear). Both sexes look great in tartan. I'm a bit of a traditionilist and prefer women in tartan dresses and think women look either like school girls or pipe band members when wearing a kilt. But I can be persuaded other wise.... HINT = Lassies - show us your pictures and keep this great thread going!

X Marks Woman in Kilt....though she hasn't posted here in a long time.

Here is my friend Adriane, who obviously is an Athlete....as in the 4x womens world champion. Unlike most of the lasses, Adriane wears (usually) an actual traditional, knee-length wool kilt on the field.

Our very own Lady Chrystel....who made my Capercaillie kilt, the nicest kilt I own, wearing a KILT in Black Stewart.

One of the lasses from Freedom Kilts, wearing her......Freedom Kilt!

We don't hear much from NeoKilts on X Marks any more but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Personally, at this point, I don't have a problem with women wearing kilts, either tartan or contemporary.

However, I quite agree that everyone has a right to their opinion.

The portrait of 'the blue boy' caused a sensation for his wearing of the 'wrong' colour.

I do have 'a bag on a strap' which is handy for keeping my bus pass within reach, worn on the hip - I have swivelled it around to centre front in high winds - out of necessity in the strong blustery winds we get along the main road here. It runs West to East along the ridge and the South Westerlies are a problem as they swirl along between buildings and around each junction.

The bag used to have an entirely useless bow on the front - it now has a handy pocket with a strap and button closure made from the same fabric - which is rather faded blue denim.

Some women just don't 'do' pink.

For the record, Angie was the one who expressed an interest in a pink sporran. I liked it for her (with reservations), but I would hardly make it a principle of women’s kiltwear.

Mike Oettle , I just like pink alot ( -my favorite color). I will definitely be buying one lol.. I would like a light pink one.. im my own fashion disaster or fashion maker lol ... I think alot of men look great in Pink and should wear it more often. I do appreciate you liked what I said about the pink sporran, also understand about the reservation part too.. I just like pink, and when I get it, I think I can pull it off, make it look good lol somehow ... Angie... I APPRECIATE that u liked what I said
