how casual

Personally, I think sandals go well with kilts in hot weather.

Never mind the sandals, my wife got a kick out of your sporran!

Just as a matter of taste don't wear socks with sandals, it is a fashon fax pas reguardless of the kilt.

Save the socks for shoes.

But the kilt has been worn with bare feet for longer than there have been kilts.

Just as a matter of comfort: I wear socks with sandals every day. My feet are usually cooler this way, and Sir Robert may simply avert his gaze...

However we are in agreement about bare feet! Next to merino wool, bare feet are the most comfortable thing yet.

I like that look.

[sporranlegionaire]

I tend to wear whatever I used to wear with shorts. I see no reason to change that. It's all about being practical. I wouldn't go to the park on a hot day in a suit, collar and tie.

I LOVE the sporran!! Where do you find that?

[pipesndrumsnun]

I personally think the kilt and rugged sandals look is a great one!

"Clothing, not a costume!"

That's the mantra to bear in mind. Do you need a kilt belt? Do you need a sporran? Do you need hose? If so, hose up, or hose down? Do you need flashes?

When the kilt was worn as a daily garment, I'll bet it was worn with whatever the guy had on hand and felt comfortable with. I'm in favor of continuing that.

That's exactily right, IMHO. If you happen to attend a celtic festival or Highland Game where a person or group appears in the ancient great kilt and period dress, you will find a lot of variation in dress. Footwear can be anything from leather wrapped and tied on with thongs (long leather laces...not the undergarment). Flashes were used to hold up the knit hose...no elastic at the time. And the belt was long as it was how the great kilt was kept on the body...no sewn pleats.

Erm... what's an undergarment?
