I've only been wearing a kilt since the spring of 2012 and as such I have not been through a Holiday season such as Christmas/Newyears where the opportunity to attend house parties and such kilted has presented it self. Often when visiting with friends when one is wearing pants one will remove their shoes so as not to muddie up a carpet/floor. If you were visiting friends or attending a Christmas party in a private residence and you were kilted ( hose and all ) would you remove your shoes? Picturing someone kilted with hose and flash but shoeless just seems odd to me so I'm leaning to wearing pants for the festivities. What do you think?
