Women's kilts/skirts?

[Jennifer D]

More wonderful advice - as usual. Thanks for the tips. I'm oddly drawn to that tartan explosion! I'll probably wind up at Sportkilts for monetary reasons at least in the beginning. Thanks again for your help.

As a female kilt wearer, I say just wear what you're comfortable with.

ROCK ON, SISTER!!

I know of at least three of us here who are women in kilts. Personally, I'm rather short, so it possibly looks more like a skirt, and I only wear the sporran, sgian, etc, for band, but I LOVE wearing a kilt!

It doesn't bother me if women wear kilts, or pants or what ever. I just don't like it when women get hateful toward men for being men, and there's a whole lot of that going on. You all aren't being that way, so kilt on with a smile.

Ted...
I guess since you quoted me that you are referring to me, yes?
Nothing in my post or in any of my over 1000 posts implies being hateful toward men...and actually none of the posts I've read in this thread imply anything of the sort.
"ROCK ON" means something akin to "way to go"! All caps imply, in this instance "yes, hooray, I'm with you on that one, girl!" I was agreeing with the "Wear what makes you comfortable" statement. I was excited to see another woman who likes wearing kilts and admits it, especially since lots of folks that we have all encountered frown on the practice...and, as mentioned, I know at least three women on X-Marks who enjoy wearing kilts. A lot of us are not built for the teeny-tiny "mini kilts" (your eyes would bleed in pain if I dressed like that! ) or would not be comfortable wearing such (nuns generally wear lots more clothes than that! ). And, a lot of folks would be uncomfortable in the very long kilt/hostess skirts.
AND, just for the record, I like men very much.
If I took your post out of context, I offer my sincerest apology, but, on the other hand, if I read you correctly, I felt it necessary to offer this reply/explanation.

P.S. I added the part about only wearing sporran and sgian for band because I do try to this in deference to the guys...and, also,this definitely seems like "manly" or soldier wear to me, and I am neither manly or a soldier (though I like both men and soldiers, and have no problem with guys who prefer we don't wear kilts or with women who might wear sporran and sgian...everyone is entitled to their own opinion and comfortability).

Oh no pipesndrumsnun, I said that you all wern't being hateful about it. It's just memories of colege from back in the nineties where I came across many women who were bitter and angry toward all men. A lot of these women would wear "men's" clothing as a show of anger. Thankfully I was raised in many conflicting cultures and it's easy for me to step right around someones outside ways. Once again, you all aren't being hateful in that way, so thank you.

I'm another "woman kilt-wearer." It took me years to get over my deep-rooted feelings that kilts were for men only. But kilts suit me more than anything, and I wear them with respect and pride...no reason I can't be comfortable and dashing, too. I love men in kilts, too, and support them in every way possible. Wear what pleases you, and kilt on.

Thanks for the clarification, Ted!

That's a good thing. Thank you, and keep kilting.
