What's your Halloween plan for your kilt?

In this part of France halloween is celebrated, but its only the kids that dress up, the adults just wear their normal clothes, and the chant by the kids is bonbons!! bonbons!! by the time we get home my daughters are that high on sugar rush its difficult to get them to bed and asleep. Kit

Wearing my kilt to my kilted Halloween wedding.

I had a goth kilt which I wore a few times to a Hallowe'en Goth Festival, but now I no longer have it I have no kilt plans for Hallowe'en.
My tartan kilts are my Scottish Nation's national dress and not fancy dress costume.

I would tend to agree here as well. I have in the past donned my "great kilt" as a costume, which is what I guess I consider it to be.

As I wear a kilt most days, the only difference will be my white Druid robes worn over it as I celebrate Samhain, the Celtic New Year. I will leave an offering of food and drink for my deceased ancestors during my ritual. At this time of year as Winter approaches, animals would be brought in from the hills and fields and those unlikely to survive the winter would be slaughtered. At this time of year the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest. People used to wear masks so they wouldn't be recognised by the dead. Offerings were left out for the dead so they knew they were not forgotten. As a pagan, I hate what has become of this special time, commercialised just like our Yule festival at mid winter.

Hi ! I may be my usual, which is a black cat..Basically just cat ears and tail and put cat features on my face.. BUT I will be a Scottish Kitty....I'm just torn on which kilt to wear..I may wear my Cameron Red and Black or my Moffat Clan or do all black My Dark Island Shadow on Black Tartan kilt. My Balmoral hat or my other wool knit hat it looks like a beret a pair of my Doc Martens with tights...I may add a lace bussel I saw at Spirit of Halloween but it goes on the outside ..A Gothic twist to it..All of my kilts mean alot to me, I love them and I love Halloween and my kilts can be part of my Halloween ensemble..That is my plan..Happy Halloween have fun...Angie

Speaking only for my family: my grandfather, father, my sons and I never thought of our tartans as costumes.

We are proud to wear them and enjoy kilting up. We are not pretending to "dress up" and be someone else.

On the flip side, we are not super invested in the "seriousness" of wearing the kilt.

It is just "us".

As this is a non judgemental group- I am curious- how many kilt up in the States for Halloween?
The OP makes a good point- is it a common thing?
