"Kilt as costume."
You've perfectly summed it up.
The issues I so often see
-wearing too many accessories
-mixing items from different genres and time-periods
-wearing things in strange and overly fussy ways
can be traced back to viewing Highland Dress as costume (even historical costume) rather than clothing.
The popularity of Outlander isn't helping.
