Kilt Shirt Question

[Spartan Tartan]

You should also consider wearing whatever shirt you would have otherwise worn. There is not a 'proper' kilt shirt--meaning that you need not wear a particular style simply because you have decided to wear a kilt at that same time.

Father Bill puts it quite right, albeit from a traditional perspective (which I share, btw). But to be fair, you could also wear a polo shirt, a t-shirt or any other shirt you would have decided to wear. The situation should dictate your shirt (i.e. formality) more so than simply the kilt. The kilt can be worn in a wide variety of situations (check out the "1 kilt, 10 looks" thread).

For example, as I sit here typing this, I am taking a brief break from my thesis paper from grad school. I am wearing my kilt and a t-shirt...please understand that I would NEVER leave the house in this state (perhaps if it were on fire), but I digress. My wife and I have plans for dinner this evening. I will wear my same kilt that I have on at this moment, but since THAT situation dictates something nicer than a t-shirt, I will wear a nice shirt and probably either a pullover wool sweater or a jacket. Same kilt.

The kilt doesn't determine the shirt. The event should, however, influence your choice.
Enjoy!!
