What to wear with a casual kilt and a tight budget

Thank you all for your advice. I just met with Rocky today to order my casual in Pa tartan. I'm excited to be joining the Great Rabble in the next few weeks!!!

I take it that, for the uninitiated (and non american members) Pa is Pennsylvania (and not the opposite of Ma)?

You are correct Sir.

As far as I am concerned, the only required accoutrement I have to have when I wear a kilt is a sporran. Everything else is up to how I feel that day. I may wear boots with kilt socks and garter ties, I may wear boots with boot socks, or kilt socks with black oxfords scrunched down, with the socks up and garter ties. For shirts, t-shirts when casual, I hate polos and don't own any. If it's cold, a sweater. Some times I wear a belt sometimes not. Like I said. It's all up to how I feel that day.

But all this is me. Wear what you want. As long as you're comfortable and don't have to steel yourself to walk out of the house you're good. Yes, there is a place and a time for tradition and formality but every day is not it and a casual kilt isn't appropriate for it anyway, so don't worry about it.

There are many great suggestions for cheap sporrans. You really need somewhere to keep your keys and phone and wallet etc.

My casual look includes black boots,sporran,no belt (don't need one) and a T-shirt or polo. This is what I like to wear to work. Here is a pic of me at work today in fact. My boss loves it and encourages it,no problem. When I'm on the town I usually dress up a bit more.

Rock n Roll, James! I haven't ventured to untuck my shirt while kilted. I might try it once just to see how it goes.

Nice! Comfortable and casual is the way for me.

I abhor nonfunctional accessories (e.g. neckties - unless you're defending against a bayonet thrust to the neck there's no reason to wear a noose!) That is unless they are socially necessary, and only in the sense that the needs of the many outway the needs of the few, or the one.

If you don't like the neckties maybe you could go with a silk-cravat. Works for me when I can't be bothered to wear a necktie.

If it's a t-shirt, then give'r. You're already informal, so you may as well untuck it and rock n roll. Besides, they tend to be short enough in the waist to still work with a kilt. For a button up shirt, I'd still tuck it in, especially if the kilt is worn at the natural waist.

That's funny, I'm the exact opposite. I've just started leaving my t-shirts tucked. First thing I did after putting my kilt on was pull my shirt out.
