Here's a odd fashion philosophical thought.
I just re-read Matt's blog entry about belts and was struck by this passage:
I would avoid what is marketed as the standard kilt belt (black leather kilt belt with a separate rectangular buckle, usually nickel plated). This is the style seen most often worn with the kilt... You'll find that this is the most common style of belt seen at Highland Games, worn even with very casual wear. I've seen this style of belt worn frequently with t-shirts and other ultra-casual wear. So if this is the only belt you have, you won't be out of place wearing it to the Highland Games or other Scottish festival...
Here is my thought process
(1)These rectangular buckled formal belts have been sold mistakenly as standard kilt belts.
(2) A great many occassional kilt wearers wear these as day wear and informally.
(3) Therefore doesn't this meana that this is a legitimate fashion?
Hear me out folks!
The origins are from a wrong take on the original fashion. But none the less if they are being sold and worn in this new way doesn't that make it an acceptable fashion?
I'm not arguing with Matt (Heaven forbid!)
I was just thinking about how fashion trends and how this may be the evolution of one.
