Speaking from personal experience, the realisation that a kilt can be worn without ruffles and a PC jacket was a revelation for me and led directly to my recent first kilt purchase.
Well if you take a quick read of the past posts in the thread, no one said that all day, everyday was black tie and PC. Wearing the kilt is just like wearing a good pair of jeans or kakis with a nice shirt, correctly coloured socks and shoes. There are rules to dressing yourself. Would you wear white socks with black dress shoes and pants? Some tend to feel that the kilt is a symbol of "freedom". Well guess what, it isn't. A kilt is no more a symbol of freedom than a pair of kakis.
