Casual days with sports jersey/polos

**scotswelshrunner** · 15th April 13, 07:23 AM

I rarely wear my kilt with casual style shirts except on work days and to a sporting event,such as a marathon or other running race. But I always support Wales and Scotland in my sporting life and decided to wear my a casual outfit with said jersey. This is my Wales shirt with Black Watch kilt. I didn't feel near as confident and comfortable while going casual in public as I do a bit more dressed up. The comments and looks were nothing like that of a more formal kilt set up although that is not why I wear the kilt,for comments. But, they DO make an impact and that is fact.

Do any of you go casual with sports related tops or jerseys(I do see some with polo shirts too)? If so, I'm curious as to how you dressed it as I hope to get some tips on a better and more appreciated look.

BTW...in these pics I chose a day the local team,the Timbers football club,was playing so perhaps the others thought I was simply a fan off to the match.

Thanks in advance!!

I have been known to frequent a hockey game or several in my kilt. When I do, it is definitely casual. I wear longer hiking socks, but then, that's all I have that fit my boots... Otherwise, I just wear whatever I have and throw a hockey sweater over top of it all.

The "look" of a hockey sweater doesn't present a very clean appearance as they are huge and meant to go over pads and are especially long. I do NOT tuck it in, though. The front usually gets behind my sporran, but I don't fuss about it too much since, after all, it's a hockey game (and not a tartan ball).

I have not had a bad experience while kilted at a hockey game either. Just lots of questions about being cold, etc...

Very cool. I like your boots. Don't be afraid to show some knee.

***. I like the jersey fine. The kilt could be worn about 3" higher.

I bought this last year and have worn it several times with a kilt. They have several other nice ones as well. Not cheap, but fine quality.

James looking good buddy!
Polos are great during our summer, I tend to wear polos and/or military style shirts when out dressed in casual mode.
btw. next time you are in Portland let me know, we would like to see you over some pints and for Timbers games.

Sassha, that is quite the pin you have on your Balmoral. Don't think I have ever seen one with a clock face on it before. Looks kinda heavy.

I have no reason to dress up for anything, so I always wear a T-shirt with my kilts. Usually just a plain colored Tee that matches, although I do have some that are printed. Since I wear a kilt as normal clothes that means its all the time.

During the warmer months I frequently wear polos or my Scotland rugby shirt. I like the look.

I think that it's a terrific look!

I'm not much of a sport jersey wearer myself. Don't wear them with j**ns either. However, as much as I dress up in a kilt, I am equally at home in in my black leather Rkilt.
