I've never seen a "fly plaid" on daywear. I've seen plaids for daywear - they're usually folded and carried over the shoulder, but do not "fasten" the bottom edge to the waist.

The ones I've seen used with daywear seem to be heavy wool, fringed on both ends, about 50-60" wide and maybe 3-4 yards long. Thompson mentions daywear plaids in "So You're Going to Wear the Kilt."

If you're talking about the lightweight plaid with the "tapes" on one end to tie to the waist, I'd think that they're inappropriate for daywear.
