That whole punk-rock Dropkick Murphy's hipster look?

It seems like most of the guys on here, even in the contemporary section, are really down on the whole "Kilt/t-shirt/sneakers-or-combat-boots" kinda look. As much as I love the more traditional, more dressy looks, I'm a big fan of just throwing on a utility kilt with a t shirt and a pair of vans or docs or desert boots for a show or a street festival or a beer fest or whatever. Anybody else on this board into this sorta thing?

Absolutely. I love the long docs, black shirt or T. I had a Sporran made for my wedding, which has some blue in it to match my kilt, and a steam punk feel to the whole thing. I have done the formal thing a couple of times, but I wear mine hiking and to parties, so you don't want to formal it up for those times!

Adding my tuppence worth as a woman I love both the traditional kilt look and the casual utility one on guys. Unless you are in a pipe band, then the traditional outfit is frowned upon being worn by women, so the utility kilt is one way for us gals to be able to kilt up and be comfortable doing it. I prefer to wear mine with ankle or knee high leather boots and either a long sleeve top or short casual jacket. Saw an older guy in Asda supermarket in Dunbar East Lothian a few months ago wearing a black utility kilt, dark t-shirt and hiking boots. He looked great and confident. Got lots of looks but I guess admiring ones. Generally kilts only get worn in public in Scotland for special occasions so nice to see them " going shopping" ! The steampunk ( as opposed to the Goths ) movement has caught on here in England and the guy kilt thing as a spin-off from punk, seems to be popular.
