Hear hear, Alan. It's funny that you mention "dressing up." While I don't consider that I'm putting on anything but clothing, sometimes I find that wearing a kilt is a bit fussier than wearing trousers. I mean, you've got the belt, the sporran, the hose.... You can just pull on a pair of trousers. And the additional attention is entirely true. While I've recently had a couple people say to me, "Wow, you're wearing a kilt! I've been talking to you for five minutes and I didn't even notice!" I know that most people do notice it. It makes you stand out in a crowd. Every once in a while when I'm going out shopping I like to wear trousers so I'm just another guy in the crowd.

So I'll agree with you: kilts are great! But I'll also agree with your other post: sometimes trousers are great too!

Andrew.
