If she still complains, in a stern voice, tell her that you'll be "approving" her clothing from now on in the same way she seems to want to "approve" yours, then start telling her EXACTLY what you think of certain fashion choices she's made. You'll either end up wearing the kilt OR throwing it out along with a pile of her clothes.

Make sure you have something cold to put on your eye after you've 'explained' things to her and given her a fashion critique. Look out the spare blanket and make up a comfortable bed on the sofa 'cos you'll be there for a while. 
Not sure this is going in the right direction. Some people just don't like kilts. It's allowed. Wearing a kilt is not important enough to me to upset my girlfriend however (luckily, she loves to see me wearing my kilt) and I would be wary of guilt-trips or 'programming' as well which I hope was some tongue-in-cheek humour. I see my role in as a boyfriend is to love her,make her laugh and take where she wants to get to.
It's not just WAGs, some of my friends and cousins swore they would never wear one when we were younger. Watching the fun at ceilidhs, rugby and football changed their minds as we grew up however.
