I was wearing a lined Pittsburgh Kilt, kilt hose, and a calf length cashmire coat, and a ball cap. Temp was 7F plus what ever the wind chill factor was. No problems.

Actually I have found the worst time to wear a kilt is when it is windy, raining and the temp is about 40F. It has to be a combo of all three, but that is chilly.
