My son (8 years old now) has been wearing kilts for about 5 years now. He wears it whenever he likes. He wore it to school one day for show and tell. When one boy asked him why he was wearing a skirt, my son informed him that it was not a skirt, it is a kilt. He wore it all day even though we sent pants with him so he could change. He was 5 years old at the time. In fact all of my kids wear kilts. We all wore them to the Atlanta zoo this past summer and along with a few strange looks we got a lot of complements. Of course with the nature of my business, all my children want to wear kilts.
