A query for the ladies

[tpa]

I find the kilt attractive mainly because of the romantic associations but also because my own husband looks good in one.

I find it less attractive with a large beer belly hanging over it but still slightly better than the same belly hanging over the waistband of a pair of trousers.

James Hood, I think a lot of men look terrific in kilts..it shows off their legs a plus big time .I also think it's very masculine..My husband is gonna try a kilt on soon..It should be the correct length though. Mrs. Angela Bodine ( Im a member here )

I think a well-fitted kilt looks good on men of many shapes and sizes, provided the length is not too long or too short. As a Scottish country dancer, I love the sway and twirl particularly if the gentleman has nice legs. -- Nan

I like the individuality. My husband has an eccentric mode of dress and I love it. It's one of the things that got me interested in him. I wish he could wear his reenactment clothes all of the time. But since this isn't practical because of his profession and his straight eight's requirements, the kilt is a nice middle ground. I think men look best in smart doublets with ruffles. I like it best when mine's more on the historical side and I love the ren-fair look and great kilt.

I don't like the tartan dipped look. And to be honest, I hate his red and white diced hose and anything too modern.

Part 1:
What, as a lady, do you find attractive, interesting or minmally, "acceptable" about a man wearing a kilt?

(OR)

Part 2:
What, as a lady, do you find unattractive, "unacceptable" or even disgusting about a man wearing a kilt?

What I find attractive is that most men who wear kilts are dressed in a tidy manor. I also enjoy the individuality of men's personal way of wearing the kilt. Seeing knees is also nice.

What I find unattractive is the kilt worn slung under bellies which makes the hemline uneven, and worn to low so that it looks like a midi skirt. I also dislike when men look sloppy or dirty (unless they are actively working).
