Are we there yet? Man in a kilt - cool or dorky?

This past weekend I was surrounded by gents in kilts ... This upcoming weekend I'll be surrounded by gents in kilts. I say absolutely go for it!

NOW you MUST get one!

I am Scottish and think men wearing a kilt is more sexy than trousers. we in the West of Scotland really appreciate tourist that make an effort to wear the kilt. Go for it !!

Really? I'm in the West of Scotland, too, and have never yet found any fellow Scot who likes to see a tourist in a kilt! Lol.

I live in the West of Scotland and have 5 kilts which include my family tartan and also a plain black kilt. I always said when I retired early that I would wear my kilts as often as possible including for normal day wear. Thats exactly what I do and it seems to be well received by most people I meet. Its really the feeling of the kilt being the national dress and a symbol of Scotland coupled with the fact that it gives confidence and is also a 'driver' in my incentives to remain as fit and trim as is possible nowadays.
I always find it very refreshing to have someone stop me and ask about the kilt and also to compliment me on the appearance of it. Its a great icebreaker and seems to always put a smile on a ladies face. That cant be too bad at my age so rock on the kilt. I'm trying to buck the trend of kilts just being worn for weddings and sporting events by wearing mine as many days as I can.

I would go for it. I have had mine for 3 years now and wear it 5 to 6 times a year. It is of family tartan and made of wool. The post about being warm in the summer is 100% correct. Sure you get a breeze from time to time, but with the Hose and the long sleeve shirts there are very warm during the summer. I have a picture of me in one posted on my profile.

I attend the highland games 4 times a year and you see all kinds of kilts on people, so what ever you pick will work.

You will be asked "the question" so be ready to answer.

Have fun

I still think it would be strange for me to see someone dressed in a kilt outside of a festival or theme or something like that.

I think it is rather sexy! Go for it

I'm thinking of getting a casual kilt for OCCASIONAL weekend wear. Church, dinners out, summer happenings. My old friend Kase wore one to the company Xmas party last year and totally pulled it off.

So what's the MFP gang's verdict? Interesting kooky fun - or "Mark of a *kitten*/attention *kitten*"?

I do have a pretty decent pair of sticks, if that makes any diff.

Be honest, I can take it.


(Edited to add the word "Occasional". I'm not planning to wear the silly thing every day. There are times and places where this might make sense, and I have a pretty good idea when to stick to normal garb.)

I don't think I have the guts to wear one occasionally on weekends, but I did rent one for a golf tournament last year. Super comfortable. No swamp-*kitten* on a hot day, so that was nice. I say do it!

I'm a Scotsman, also without any clan history - so I wear a modern tartan, Flower of Scotland, used to wear it out hillwalking or to the opening of a fridge door. Love. It.

DO IT !!

Verrryyyyy sexy!!! Omg

Do the Kilt, awesome!

Traditional Kilts are best, but i am bound to think like that being Scottiish LOL!
EVERYONE LOVES A MAN IN A KILT!!!

being a scots lass, there only is one answer - sexy as hell!!!!!

So hot, but you must must must wear it correctly!

Last year I sewed 14 kilts so my friends could wear them for a typical event in my town. It's so sexy in my opinion!
