Kilted side effect.

I've noticed that my overall ward robe has grown in size and color. I'm a big fan of black t-shirts - especially Affliction. In fact, I've got a couple of great Affliction shirts that go great with my Highland Granite...one in particular - a grey and black Rampant Lion. That'll be what I wear on Monday the 6th!

don't get me wrong, I love wearing my kilt, but I also still enjoy a nice pair of jeans, flip-flops and a favorite T! Very comfy. But I also like how versatile the kilt is. You can look good on any level.

Alright. Good plan. Let me do that. I'm gud at rufflin' the feathers, anyway. White look like cheap rented formalwear!

There. Now I'm the trouble starter.

OK I'll bite this time only. I am highly offended when people posts that. It is not a fact and new people may think that is the accepted opinion.

I don't think the white looks like cheap rented formal wear. Most of the pipers I see wear white and I never think they look anything other than sharp. I wear cream colored hose most of the time and they weren't cheap. They will go with most of my kilts. I don't like black because in my mind it looks like someone who forgot to put their pants on. (white knees and black socks) That is just my opinion and I don't make a point of posting that opinion.

And most rented kilts are not the cheap kilts that many people buy and get told they look good. I applaud anyone who wears rentals to be able to wear a kilt.

You have every right to think that white kilt hose look bad but please quit spouting your opinion as a kilt law.

Now that is the last I am going to post about this issue.

Just before my first kilt I reduced my wardrobe to white t-shirts and black jeans so I could just pull something out of the cupboard.

Now I have shirts, kilt hose, kilts ... sometimes I need more time than my wife to decide what to wear ...

I pay much more attention to my entire outfit when I wear a kilt, too. My wife always gets a chuckle when I ask her whether the elements of my kilt outfits go together. However, she also says how nice she thinks I look. The chuckle is easy to take when I know that she's proud to be seen with me. She's never said so, but I think she enjoys the attention I get from other ladies.

This is half of the reason I love kilts so much. It is soooo nice to see men well dressed. I would take a ragged, casual, well worn kilt and a T-shirt over ragged, well worn jeans and a T-shirt any day.

Today I went to Home Depot in my Black Watch, black Polo, and short boots and scrunched down dark blue socks ! I remember going in torn and tattered shorts with very dirty t-shirts, now I am civilized.

My wife has the same philosophy.

The kilt is such a great garment and putting together a "look" whether casual or formal requires that you give some thought, not something I did in the dark ages (pre-kilt)... it has made me be much more conscious of and particular about my other clothes as well.
