Dress up or dress down if it makes live easier (as I'm sure it does) then all the power to you.
Speaking as a total newbie, I have to agree. Having wanted a kilt since I was a little boy, I finally got a SWK Nightstalker and Nightstalker sporran and feel totally at ease in them. I've started wearing them around with a casual black shirt and don't think I've ever worn as comfortable an outfit in my life. I also tend to carry a black canvas 'man bag' but still wear my sporran. My wife's family (my own are back in England) tell me that I act as though I've been wearing a kilt all of my life. If I were to wear one formally - which I'm all for doing should the situation arise - I'd doubtless feel as stiff as I would if wearing a dinner suit.

In the meantime, I'm now trying to spread the word locally that my kilt is more comfortable than any pair of jeans/pants I've ever owned.
