Why don't you wear a kilt?

[lelyal]

I would like to see more kilts being worn regularly. I wear one myself and there are some here who like to wear them, but I almost never see anyone else on the street who does. I'm not trying to make a statement or draw attention. I just think they're very comfortable and practical and don't understand why everyone doesn't wear one. At least sometimes. I would like to feel a little less conspicuous. So why don't you wear one?

Are kilts actually a thing outside of Scotland?

I'm a descendent of the clan McGregor... Rob Roy... in South Africa, we don't wear kilts. It would be awesome though... let the boy's hang free

I do a lot of work off of ladders. If I wore a kilt i would either make new friends, or get fired

I have one.

I wear it sometimes. But it's to do with local custom and practice.

Every society of culture can have its own favoured clothing, music, food, sports, arts, literatures, ways of speaking.

And that's all ok.

I have one and have worn it a few times, formal or for laugh/fancy dress,
in a store other day i was wearing only football shorts,tee and trainers, a guy in a black heavy cotton kilt said hey good legs, you should try wearing a kilt? told him i have and i probably will again-but i've lost sporran(loaned to friend) so need someway to carry my money etc

They're not really even a thing IN Scotland. I was there recently, and only saw one on the street in three days (He looked very sharp, btw).

I have one, and I love wearing it, but don't have many occasions to do so. It's kind of a statement piece in the US, and if you don't really want hundreds of comments or questions per day, shorts or jeans are the clear choice.

I hope to one day buy a Tuxedo, built around a Kilt. They are very formal and I would pack it for my one day vacation to the UK

There's a bit too much to see properly in one day, dude.

No kidding... there is a guy here in Denver who cleans windows (totally legit business) and makes a point of saying in his ads that he wears a kilt. However, he doesn't mention that he also always wears boxerbriefs under the kilt.

It apparently was invented in the early 1700's. One has to wonder why men going commando in a wee tartan skirt would become fashion in such a cold country....Och Jean.

To answer your question, for me it's a fear of a random boner.

I love wearing mine in places where freedom of expression is encouraged (like the hot springs I've gone to for years, burning man, Folsom Street Fair, etc.). In those places I wear it a lot and never think twice about it. When I think of just wearing it on the streets of San Francisco, I suddenly feel all self-conscious and prefer not to be seen as somebody trying to make some kind of statement, which is how I think I'd feel others are seeing me. If more guys wore them, I definitely would.
