Not only am I as tall as you, but I have all this silver hair. It makes me look old and wise and like I don't give a damm what anyone else thinks because I'm older!
Respect your elders!!! 
You know.....I told my friends that I found something that I would enjoy, that might be fun, that would get me away from the computer and out with people.
You would think they would be happy for me.
Instead, all they can say is, OH YOU CAN'T WALK OUTSIDE IN A KILT!!! WHAT WILL PEOPLE THINK?!?!?!

Who cares what others think? It's your life, put on a kilt and enjoy the FREEDOM!!

First up: who cares what other people think?
Second up: most people, especially most women, will like it.
Third up: and if you think they like a utilikilt, just wait until you buy a nice tartan kilt, the belt, the sporran, the hose and the flashes and wear THAT down the street.
I echo everyone else in this thread. 99.9% of the histrionics are in your own head. Just wear the thing!

Your friends may think they're trying to help you, but they're just projecting their own fears onto you.
The truth is, the majority of people won't even care. They've got their own concerns.
Of those that notice, most won't even look twice. They may or may not like it, but who cares; you're the one wearing it and it's your body.
You may get some questions about the kilt. Read the threads here and you should be more than knowledgable about the subject. Oh, and be ready for "The question".:rolleyes:
You could very well get some good natured joking. Just accept that and laugh along.
If you do encounter the occasional idiot, just ignore them. They're not worth your time.
Just get out there! Once you take that first step, it's much easier. We've all had that first time and we all made it through.
We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. - Japanese Proverb

There is nothing quite like the first time. As soon as the first bonnie lass says "Wow that's sexy" you will wonder what you were worried about.

Most of us cannot tell or control what people are thinking, so it is really pointless to be concerned about it. You might tell your friends that worrying about what people think is a sign of insecurity, and that it does not apply to you.

Well, have to chime in again because you are really going overboard on this trepidation. Since you do not drink, I will not recomend walking/driving to the nearest liquor store and buying your favorite beverage. Or maybe you can, most liguor stores also stock water, soda, etc., for mixers if nothing else.
And a liguor store has the advantage that the guy behind the counter wants your business, and you will NOT be the most oddly dressed person he sees!
If I can give no other advise (again), just do it. Not in a Nike way, but because all of the fears are in your own mind. For an analogy, did you ever go skinny dipping? Were you nervous? did you go anyway? Did anybody say anything? So, same fears and same result.

You're the man.
It's your freedom.
go ahead... look like a Klingon.
Think Free, Live Free, Be Free!
FREEDOM
and the hokey pokey, of course, that's what it's all about! 
Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?

Hmm....doing the hokey pokey in a kilt. That would be something new. :-)
Everything seems like more fun in a kilt... :-)
I'm glad I was able to do this while I was only 50.
