Hose up....hose down

I'm glad to see that someone with some experience has authorized the wearing of Birkenstocks and Kilts...as that may be my summer work attire if the temp holds at the 28Grad level... now if I can just a deal on a bulk order of Body Glide and Butt Paste!!

NOTED! I'll walk it, carefully, over to the "Galded ****" thread.

Having spent far too much of my childhood in South Texas in extreme heat and humidity, I don't do things much different in the summer than anyother time of year. I'm still wearing my tanks with pulled up wool socks, long sleeve shirts and ties! I even wore a tweed daywear jacket a few days ago and barely broke a sweat. It takes me a few weeks to acclimate to summer each year, but once it happens the heat doesn't bother me one bit. I guess it was having a grandmother who didn't see why a little heat stroke should get in the way of always looking your best.

With a tartan kilt, I always wear shoes/boots and hose. I generally push my hose down with boots and leave them up with shoes. But if it's cold, I leave the socks up regardless. I don't wear sandals (in public) with a traditional kilt.

With a casual kilt, I generally wear sandals in the summer - I have two pairs of Tevas that I alternate (not on a schedule or anything... I'm not "Monk"). One is tan and looks darned good with a khaki original. If it's colder out, I wear boots and socks or hose, generally rolled down but not always. The socks I wear with a kilt are generally of your thicker "rag" sock type. I have a couple pairs of less expensive hose that I wear with them, too.

For the most part, though, I wear traditional kilts when it gets colder out.

I don't wear shoes with casual kilts - I generally don't wear shoes unless I'm wearing pants, I just don't like the look on me. The only exception would be for working out, and I generally work out barefoot.
