Wow... That was a lot of reading.

Saw quite a few Scottish cowboys at the recent Scottish festival. It doesn't look bad if done right, although in a traditional sense it's not right at all.

The worst DONT was a guy wearing a very formal setup minus the GB's - he had on tennis shoes instead. Wish I had a picture. Formal sporran, jacket, tall, dressy hose and flashes....Tennis shoes....

I think wearing a kilt, in any form, is very similar to wearing a western cowboy "outfit." There's many ways to do it from formal to casual, and there's many ways to screw up. 90% of the time it's just for fashion.

Many good pictures here!

The jury is out on whether the hawiian shirt is acceptable attire with a kilt.

I always figured that there were rules for "formal kilting" or even "dress Kilt" but when it comes to casual, pretty much anything goes.

I look at kilts like most look at pants. If I can wear a hawaiian shirt with pants, then I can wear it with a kilt. I'm on my way to becoming kilted full time, and once I do so, I don't want there to be restrictions on what I'm able to buy/wear. Some people would say that sandels are a NO when wearing a kilt, but I would disagree with that also.

Now I do agree with you that it may clash, or look a little "off" to wear a Hawaiian shirt or sandels, or maybe even a cowboy hat. BUT if I'm not wearing a kilt to a formal event then I'm all for comfort. Comfort is one of the top reasons I wear a kilt.

I perfectly understand if you don't agree, but that's ok. We don't have to agree.

The Santa Cruz class of the San Francisco Chapter of the RSCDS (Royal Scottish Country Dance Society) host a dance every year where the theme is hawaiian shirts and kilts. I'm not sure if it's the best look for a kilted outfit, but at least sometimes it is the right look for one.
