This is one of the challenges actually. Where does the traditional tartan kilt worn in a nontraditional fashion belong? It's not a traditional outfit but it is a traditional kilt. When I asked, I was told the contemporary forum was the appropriate place for it based on this:
This forum sub-section is for those interested in learning about and discussing Contemporarily made kilts
and to discuss and see examples of how kilts can be worn to emulate a contemporary style or fashion.
I should also note that there are lots of tartan utility style kilts being made now with cargo pockets etc...
Andy wears one to most Tartan Tuesday events. These cargo pocket tartan kilts may be tartan but they are certainly made in a new style.
Based on the definition above, we decided to make Tartan Tuesday's theme "contemporary outfits". This is how we dressed:
You can see Andy's cargo tartan kilt on the far right.
That's why I like the proposed approaches to kilt wearing. That way it looks at the overall style the person is going for rather than the nuts and bolts of kilt construction. I can see both perspectives though.
