I think Rex is right. I'm guessing you don't take any stick from anyone about your wardrobe now, so, why should a kilt be any different? But, a nice kilt is an investment. If you're not sure about wearing a tartan, etc., you might go with a USA kilt or Stillwater first. Spending less up front will allow to pick up a few more accessories, and you can really see if tartans/traditional kilts are up your alley.
