When it is accepted, it will not be noticed.

Pants or kilt makes no difference. At my size I stand out in a crowd simply by standing BUT why not wear the kilt, honour my (limited) heritage and just look mighty fine while doing it.

As to the original point, no, I hope that kilts never become that common place. It takes a special man to don a kilt now and I'm getting too old to adopt what ever new "rebel" behaviour comes along.

flipping it around a bit - as a mother, I hope that someday breastfeeding is as accepted as kilts currently are!
If we've come to accept women in jeans, and men with long hair, surely kilts can't be far behind. And I will like it!

True, and think about men with earings and other body piercings, tatoos on men and women, men in pink clothing, casual dress in general and other oddities that would have been a shocker years ago.

Still it's surprising that you don't see more kilts on a daily basis.

Accepted, yes. Common, no, please.

I suppose, that is how it is in Scotland for us, certainly for me and I think most kilt wearers in Scotland.I don't consciously think of the culture thing, historical aspect, or the showing off bit.

I do recall that in my youth, however, when I spent most of my time in England, I did on many an occasion wear the kilt to parties, dances and dinners, as I had worked out from a fairly early age that the girls like a man in the kilt.

I am one of those who could not care less.

I have had people ask all the questions. When a lady at a local convenience store asked about my skirt and I mentioned it was a kilt she said yes, that is what I meant but could not think of the word.

So, most of the people I have talked to have positive reactions. I did have one guy whose wife wanted a picture with me grumble a bit. We said she would probably want him to wear one. I told him if he did he would learn how comfortable a kilt is.

I have to agree with Big Mikey. While I don't have his size. I don't think that kilts will become accepted as an alternative to pants or shorts. I wear them because I like them and that's all.
