With time more diverse kilt wearing

Eric Clapton put it best: "It's just the way that use it"

Eric Clapton: ironically (for this thread) one of the first to wear previously formal Armani suits in a casual manner

Raphael,

You realize that it's the stout that makes that outfit work. It's all about the beer after all!

Just in case you wonder, I was drinking a pint of Murphy's Irish Stout. Doolin's sells them a dollar cheaper than Guinness and they are just as tasty.

Cheers.

I am my own generation and my generation did not grow up like yours. Why should we dress up like yours?

Life is about having fun and not about following the rules that set out by our forefathers.

Raph,

No offence, mate, but quite frankly, there are many times I wish no association with my generation. (and for the record, I'm over 30) I much prefer the fashion styles of my parents (early 60s) or grandparents to the present. Classic looks never go out of style whilst fad fashion sticks out like the proverbial powder-blue tux in a 70s wedding photo.

While I certainly have no problems with "having fun", I do believe that our forefathers can teach us a lot on how to behave, as well as be an inspiration. There are times for fun, and times for responsibility.

No Problem, Todd. I like the classic style as well. But at this stage of my life, I am sticking with what I like. For all I know, I may be dressing up like a country gentleman in the near future.

I certainly have my mature side and can behave like a father, business professional, a spouse and a son. But I like to have have fun when it comes to fashion. I do dress appropriately to the events that I attend. I won't show up to weddings without a pressed shirt, a tie, a jacket and polished black shoes.

Even when I dress casually, I still like to inject a certain elegance to it as well. I don't do sneakers when I am not working out. I like nice clothes and I do spend my money on clothes to look good. Even before I got into kilt wearing, I can put together an impressive outfit without the help from any woman. I can't stand looking like a slob. It is not me. And Dressing Causally should not mean dressing up like slob. I dress to impress.

And yes, I like to get inspire from various types of fashion. that include fashion from the 50's, 60's and 70's. I still want to get a blue velvet kilt made with matching velvet jacket and a jabot shirt with collar and cuffs. Of course, that would involve a trip to Norway. (Oh behave, now.)

I think I should edit what I wrote earlier to this:

My Life is about having fun and not about following the rules that set out by our forefathers.
