    I been in the habit for the last several years of wearing a kilt for all the high holy days, under the reasoning that it is appropriate to wear your best. I typically wear the purple heritage of Scotland for Advent, and my Keith tartan for Christmas (mostly green) and then the freedom tartan for Easter since the colors are pastel. I have had only very good response when I explain this is the best I have and I'm trying to coordinate the colors according to the church calendar.
    We just changed churches and I let the pastor know that this was my habit, and was told that they welcome members to show pride in their heritage.
    As other's have said, just wear the clothes; don't make it a look at me event. I sit where I always sit and don't make don't do things for the purpose of getting attention.

    For other occasions like weddings, I always ask the bride if she is OK with it. Some love it, but I had one tell me an emphatic NO. She wanted people looking at her and I respected her request.

    Hi. Retired Anglican / Episcopal / C of E priest here.

    I wear it sometimes. Got some fascinated looks from the rector when I wore my Arctic fox full-head sporran with it on the Feast of St. Andrew, but no comments except admiration from other congregants. The white sporran looks fabulous on my red Sinclair kilt.

    Some individuals in some denominations are still under the under-educated misaprehension that it is akin to cross-dressing. Not someplace I'd want to go anyway.
