Women and Kilt Wearing

[Manu]

Ill admit that I am a little jealous when it comes to this subject. I mean, the kilt is on of those few things left that is extremely masculine, a male trademark, and it kinda sucks that women are adapting it too. Thats why there are mini-skirts and kilted skirts, right?

[Shay]

OKay- what if it's a kilted skirt with the opening on the other side? Is that different?

[Manu]

The opening on the other side and the pleats facing the other way? Then it is not a kilt, its a kilted skirt made for a woman.

OKay- what if it's a kilted skirt with the opening on the other side? Is that different?

So far, with all my kilts having a belt and two almost identical aprons, if the right side was over the left it would mean - that I had put the right side over the left, and perhaps I would be wondering where the belt loop had gone.

All this dire significance being given to such an apparently irrelevant orientation seems rather strange.

A kilt is a thing of beauty and to be desired and cherished. To put one on is to be at once in need of a full length mirror to view the effect.

Men can have kilt suits and 'outfits', and have them as formal wear - which really are not apt for a woman.

At least a kilt is more dressy than jeans and most casual trousers, and many skirts. Since starting to wear kilts I have definitely raised my sartorial level several notches.

I agree with Craig and another earlier. Some women look good wearing them some look bad, same holds true for men. I can personally think of a lot of men I'd just as soon not ever see in a kilt - formal or otherwise.
