Question about kilt formality.

[McMurdo]

The issue as I see it with the Casual kilt is twofold. First the rise is not the same, dressing it up throws off the proportions as your torso appears too long due to the kilt not rising to the natural waist. Secondly the yardage comes into play, with less than half the yardage of a traditional kilt even a casual observer can notice the difference. My advice has always been to save for the best kilt you can afford and go from there. You can easily dress down a traditional kilt, not so much going the other way. Perhaps you should take a look at the 1 kilt 10 looks thread that Panache and I did so many years ago as a visual aide to what I am discussing.
