    I find that formal sporrans make very hip women's purses. They are not for formal events but neither are kilted skirts. Women often don't wear coats and, it seems that even when they do, most coats don't have proper pockets. Kilted skirts too lack pockets so where to store their "necessities"?
    I personally like the look!

    I'm sure most of us can agree that fashion (as accepted by the vast majority of the world) is seldom driven by function and comfort. Low rise pants? I don't care who you are they are not practical nor comfortable. If your "crack" isn't showing , then you're being cut in half from the bottom up. I know many women who have "cute" coats, but will they actually keep them warm? NOPE. Men's fashion has also slipped into this mess.

    I know of no other single garment that is quite as functional, pratical or comfortable as a kilt (or kilted skirt to stay with the thread topic )

    Actually, my wife has a sporran which is very similar to one of mine. She wears it with a long green dress which she wears to many of the festivals which we attend. However, she wears it like a pouch on her hip, and not as a sporran.
