Lots of good choices have been given, but if I'm looking to wear a kilt instead of shorts I'll wear my Freedom Kilt. Its material is similar to the shorts I wear (and I wear cargo shorts almost all year long), and I wear it with boots, runners, or sandals. It dresses up nicely, and down as well. It is really comfortable and, most of all, it looks like a kilt. Plus, Steve is really great guy!
