Contemporary vs. Traditional Kilt Perceptions?

[elrond]

I've both.
I prefer traditional for a lot of reason, but in the ot italian summer, oro for doing heavy works or for hiking I prefer modern or casual ones.
The difference in perception it is that here in Italy, a traditional tartan kilt it is most easily recognized as a kilt, while a plain colored one, it is much more seen as a skirt... However, following my way of living, I go on and answer to those who want to know more, explaining simply and shortly the differences between modern and traditional kilts.
