Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[JerseyLawyer]

I agree. I don't have a problem with the look in general, other than the boots. I don't think they look right with the hose. And they catch the flashes!

He does have good taste in adult beverages, though.

So on the issue of western style with a kilt, check this guy at the San Antonio Highland Games this year.

There are a lot of guys dressed like this at the Texas Scottish Festival in Arlington. Maybe I've gotten used to the look, but I have no issue with it. I see it as a blending of cultures.

Dean, I saw a lot of them as well. It doesn't look bad in our atmosphere but anywhere else in the world I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be as accepted.

Did you see the guy wearing a nice formal kit but tennis shoes instead of dress shoes/ghillies?

No, I was blessed and missed that one!

I don't personally like this look, but I have to admit that this gentleman is very close to pulling it off well. With some minor changes (switch the boots to a flat collared, "straight across the top" style; lose the belt and the flashes), this outfit could be a solid nod to both cultures without competing with itself in the process.

In the spirit of Independence Day...

I really didn't have a problem with this one right up to the point where I scrolled down enough to see the cowboy boots. Now, I like boots as well as the next horseman, but it just doesn't do it for me here. Not sure what shoes would best compliment this outfit, but don't think the boots are it. The hat and ribbon are ok in my book.

I'm ok with the outfit, including the boots, but the flashes gotta go.

Agreement, they don't match the outfit very well. Beyond that I think he pulls it off quite well excpet a proper Guinness should be in an Imperial pint glass but sometimes ya gotta dance with who brung ya.


CT - and drink what's available

I really like this guys look except for the boots and flashes, interesting and good looking mix otherwise.

A hat, belt, leather day sporran and gruby unpolished high boots with black tie... during the day... DON'T!
