Wearing A Kilt On Halloween

[Nomad]

Reading this thread brought to mind an incident when I was in a Target store in Florida just before Halloween. There, on the shelves, were dress-up costumes for DOGS! Yes DOGS. I must admit a fellow shopper was similarly bemused so my reaction was shared by this local also. I do hope that no-one considers dressing in a kilt for Halloween as a fancy dress outing and see an earlier post by a Scottish gentleman who shared that sentiment. Being new to this it all seems so confusing. One minute I read how circumspect I must be down to such simple things as the socks to wear and the next it seems anything goes!

I can understand your confusion and I would love to say there is a simple answer but there isn't. I spent around 3 months going through most of the forums getting a feel for things.
I may have been born and spent my first 19 years in Scotland, but I am southern scots and kilts were only worn at official functions and that was a rarity in my childhood/adolescence.
Things have changed back home and kilts are commonly worn at official functions, but not otherwise, but that doesn't mean they are worn well, which is why I spent so much time on here "doing research".
I would thoroughly recommend going back through some of the older discussions on here, whilst I have flexible views on wearing a kilt I do think some things just look better if rules/guidelines are followed, then do some experimentation to see if it works.

Good luck
