I have always said that I have to be pretty firmly set in my own sexuality to wear a kilt. Heck, I'm a piper. I not only wear a kilt, but a hat with ribbons hangin down the back of my neck, "Knee Sox" (kilt hose) with little ribbons (flashes) hanging out the side. Shoes without a tounge and laces that wrap up my legs a way before they end in a bow.
My wife goes with me to the highland games and celtic celebrations and the only problem she has with me wearin' the kilt is all the cute young girls who want to have their picture taken with "a real scot" or mostly with a piper.
I am 6' 4" and weigh 280 lbs full beard and white hair.
Now I do wear the kilt out for other occasions, but as with anything, I wear it to special occasions. It would not be proper at work. Although, I am sure that once the novelty wore off... eh, the proper at work is a personal choice.
Since I play a lot of weddings and funerals, it is expected. However, being honest, wearing the kilt doesn't help me play any better.
The kilts I wear, one is a band kilt...modern wilson and the other is in honor of my wife's family...Ross weathered hunting, I reserve for special occassions, Christmas, New Years other holidays where we go out for a special dinner. I wore the last day of work when I retired and out to dinner with 12 friends to celebrate (unfortunately I had to return to the work scene)
I wore it for our 40th wedding anniversary celebration with a tux shirt and jacket.
I don't like going regimental...tried it once...again a personal choice.
As long as you hurt no one...do as you like.
