Best boots and accessories for a drinkin' Kilt...

[kingandrew]

For casual kilt wear, I generally opt for my hiking boots, worn with kilt socks (likely my khaki pair from What Price Glory or a cotton pair from Sock Dreams if the weather is hot). I will likely skip the flashes.

I see the sporran as a must for two reasons. First, I need somewhere to carry my wallet, keys, and such. Second, the sporran prevents any "Sharon Stone" moments where I unintentionally answer the question about what's under the kilt.

For casual events, I go with a simple day sporran. I have a "Rob Roy" style one that holds lots of stuff if needed and a standard black one with the three tassles on the front. Both look fine for such occasions.

Shirtwise, in summer I often go with a safari/military kind of shirt or lightweight collarless shirt I picked up in Cambodia (sometimes I go for the dreaded "ghillie" shirt) and in winter lean towards turtlenecks.

But it really is all up to you. I suggest thinking about where you are going and what you are doing, since your shirt and shoes need to be practical for your activity and environmental conditions.
