wearing the military style kilt

[DotDLL]

I recently received a Black Watch military style (4 inch rise) kilt. I have the accoutrements to wear it as a pseudo uniform. (see attached)
But I am wondering how those of you that also have this style of kilt wear yours.

I've had a military-styled kilt for a few years now, a Black Watch kilt from What Price Glory. It's easily one of my favorite kilts!

I've found it to be a good kilt for day-wear, especially in New England winters. It's warm, and it stands up to wind extremely well.

Most of the time I wear it, it's worn in a non-military style (although I'm not sure if this is a good term for it). I tend to pair it with a vest, sometimes a jacket, and quite often with a sweater. Those items usually cover most, if not all of the top part of the kilt. They also help keep in my body heat.

All of this tends to get paired with thick socks, occasionally some kind of boot that works reasonably well in slush or snow (and at least rises above the ankle), one or more inner shirts, and maybe a hat.

The whole setup works really well with temperature regulation, at least in my experience. I spend much of my week at an indoor-centric desk job, at an office whose temperature adjusts throughout the day. If it's warm, I can remove some of the upper layers, maybe scrunch down the socks. If it's cold, or if I need to go out, I can add layers on. Unless it's incredibly cold out, and well below freezing with a fair amount of wind, it works rather well. :-)
