I've worn kilts to work for 2 years today and still am nervous about policy changing or repercussions. Generally, though its gone smoothly. It hasn't hurt that I'm very successful at my job, its phone work, and little physical contact with the public.

I reccomend starting out with something tartan and wearing a nice shirt, the first few days. You can branch out over time. I've worn Amerikilts, plain King Kilts, etc. Honestly, since the first few months, I've had little taunting and a few curious questions from the new people.

Yes, there are some sacrifices. I work in the call center and am uncertain about moving beyond that, but I'm okay with that as there are other positions in the call center and the pay is generally good for this area.

The question you have to ask yourself is what kind of work can you do in a kilt and it is worth it for you to do it? The answer may honestly be starting your own business or working from home.

I did venture outside of work to represent the company at the career fair and had one job seeker, an engineer come up to our table laughing at me (we don't hire engineers), but also had a couple compliments too. The company let me go in the kilt, because while they had prohibited jeans, a kilt hardly could be viewed that way. I made sure to look extra nice with a white dress shirt and tie for the public appearance on behalf of the company.
