    Kilts in Florida

    I too live in Florida(USA). I generally wear American utility kilts. (I have several, but am now a confirmed Stumptown customer. They have adjustable rows of snaps. Their "small" is 36 to 41 inches, allowing for um, fluctuation.) Utility kilts are fairly lightweight so tend to be cooler than traditional ones.
    I usually wear light colored cotton button up shirts, usually Hawaiian style. Sometimes I leave them hanging out, but consider that that covers up the style amd lines of the kilt. I usually tuck them in. This lets them breathe less, but the sweat soaks into the shirt more than the kilt and I toss the shirt daily, but the kilt itself has less sweat soaked into it, and can be worn another day or two, good when travelling.
    Footwear: I wear Crocs. Many people think them grotesque and tacky, but they do have some that look like casual loafers. I usually wear ankle high socks with them.
    This is what I wear almost all the time here. I even wander into Walmart or Home Depot kilted. The only comments I ever get are compliments.
    Sometimes I get the curiosity thing, usually from inebriated ladies. Surprising how they really didn't want to find out, though.
