    By the way, contrary to what some have suggested, there are conventions (or shall we say fashion guidelines?) for wearing modern kilts, like the Utilikilt. We see them voiced on this forum all the time, and can be found on the UK website, and discussion boards as well. Examples include wearing a wide belt, boots, thick socks scrunched down, shirt tucked in, etc.

    Obviously, just like with the traditional kilts, there are variations based on environment and personal taste, and the personal motivation of the wearer. Point being that even those who may not be traditional kilt wearers want to figure out what looks good, and the kilt being an unfamiliar garment for most, consensus, derived from Scottish fashions has evolved.

    Best regards,

    That comes as a surprise to me, given what I have read on this forum...but it's nice to know.
