For those exhibitionists among you who secretly want to provoke a reaction of some kind to your kilt wearing – try this out. On one of those really hot summer days (regrettably not many of those here in the UK) when you might go out wearing just shorts (short trousers that is, not underwear) and trainers, try venturing out in just a kilt and trainers.

As one who has worn only kilts since primary school being kilted is normal for me and am relatively immune to stares and nudges and must admit I don’t really notice them. However, even I have been taken aback by the reaction of others to being clad in just a kilt and trainers and am a bit surprised by this – after all the kilt covers far more of me than a pair of shorts do!
