I am kind of amused by the number of people posting in this thread to encourage me or somehow make me feel better about myself in regards to this issue.

I'm doing just fine. I think I'm reasonably polite until repeatedly presented with good reasons NOT to be. I smile at small children, am kind to dogs and cats, and treat women with respect and as my equal. I can wear a tie and jacket at the symphony or sweat like a pig and pose for a gansta photograph in the gym. If I happen to feel like wearing a non-tartan kilt, I wear one.

As Macman said, I buy clothes and wear them, mostly, until they wear out. "Fashion" makes me retch. I don't have a "style" and find the concept revolting. I put on clothes in the morning and go about my business.

No need to try to make me feel like I'm OK even though I'm 54 years old! I just asked this question to spark some discussion. It's nice to see some life in the contemporary kilt forum, again.
