Like Jimmy said, a kilt is expected in a very particular set of circumstances, and to wear it just for kicks seems odd to folks.
I suppose that I would ask "what's the occasion" if the party was wearing a jacket and tie with the kilt but if it was just a t-shirt or a sweater, I'd think that it's casual. This hearkens back to that "Kilt Wearing In Scotland" thread from a couple of weeks back.
