I attempted back in post 46 of this thread to explain by example the difference between this forum section and the General Kilt Talk section.
This section is to give our members a way to highlight how they wear their kilt in today's world.
Here is a quote from post 46
As this section of the forum is for those who wear the kilt as clothing in today's world... to give those looking for examples and inspiration...some ideas about how the kilt can be worn....
How about we try this -
Example:
You have a hand sewn, 8 yard wool, Tartan kilt. You want to go out to dinner with your partner. Post a photo, as an example for others, of how you would dress.
Guidlines:
The restaurant you have chosen is a new, small, ethnic place in your local area.
What you choose should be appropriate to what others at the place will be wearing.
Your choices should be appropriate for the weather.
The idea is that you are out for a pleasant dinner with your partner, not to stand out or show off. In essence, for this outing, the kilt is just another piece of clothing not the focal point.
Does this clear up the intent of this forum section? It should be where members can go to see examples of how the kilt can be worn today. We can take inspiration from the Historical Kilt Wear section, and also the Traditional Kilt Wear section. We can veer away from those as we deem.
There are no kilt cops, No one should be able to tell you that you are not doing it right or dictate rules based on how the kilt was worn in 1782 or 1900.
Now, go inspire the newbies and show off how you wear your kilt today.

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
