As a piper who used to pipe at a lot of weddings (at one point around 40 a year) I often had to give advice to the Groom and/or Groomsmen about how to wear their hired/rented attire.
Kilt backwards, it's fairly common.
Another common thing is for people to separate the two flashes on the garter, putting one on the inside of the leg, one on the outside. Kilt Hire shops should stitch them so that can't happen.
The other is lacing the Ghillies Viking-style with the laces going all the way up the leg.
A strange one, which luckily I've only seen once, was the Best Man who put on his kilt with the under-apron going behind his backside, so that his leg on one side was exposed all the way up!
Even native-born Scots, wealthy famous Scots, are liable to such things
