I think all men's body types look good in kilts.
What I find disgusting is men wearing kilts that are way too short.

I find a well-fitting kilt with sexy legs attractive. I am jarred by colours that don't feel like they should go together.

I just love tartan.

I think a man clad in a proper tartan kilt worn properly looks fantastic! Provided he is a Scot and the kilt is being worn in Scotland.

I am afraid that I can only look at men dressed in kilts(civilians) outwith Scotland and particularly non tartan kilts, with mild amusement tinged with sadness.

I find men who are self-assured, confidant and well put together in a kilt to be very attractive. Prince Charles, Sir Sean Connery, and my guy are three examples of this with three very different styles.
Mrs. Geoffrey Withnell

[Tomak]

I love the way the kilt is flattering to so many body types.
I don't like a poor fitting kilt that is too long or short.

Self-confidence looks good on every one and I think that it takes a bit of self-confidence for a man to wear a kilt. I love tartan too and I like to see men that are concerned with their appearance and that like to be "well put together".

I like the air of mystery when my man wears his. Though I worry when he goes out in it, especially if it's windy.

The colours are nice, and he's very confident to wear it out and about, despite comments from kids in 'the hood'.

I don't like the fact other women try to chat him up when he's wearing a kilt.

I find his pinstripe kilt suit disgusting though.

The kilt in general is beginning to grow on me, I hated it at first and wondered where this was heading, until he showed me this forum.

A man in a kilt that fits properly (not worn backwards or SIDEWAYS(!!), hits about mid-knee and not too big or small in the waist) looks amazing when worn with confidence and his own personal style. I love seeing husband wearing a Doctor Who T-shirt with one of his camo kilts and boots with chunky socks -- and from the response he gets from other people, men and women, I'm not the only one. I don't even mind when he gets chatted up by women -- just no touching, please. The confidence thing that can come with really enjoying wearing a kilt is the part that's so sexy.

Don't wear white socks with a kilt -- even if they are billed as kilt socks. Actually, if you're older than 12, don't wear white socks outside the gym. I can't really think of anything else I don't like about kilts.

I was surprised when husband wanted one but I'm Scots on my mother's side and have a husband with great legs so I was super supportive. Now I think he looks strange when he wears pants. I wish he'd started wearing them sooner so he could have worn a kilt at our wedding.
