The beauty of (nearly) any kilt is that it can be dressed up a lot or down a lot. I wear my tanks formally when need be, but I also wear them with T-Shirts or polos and boots.
Wear your best whenever you want to! Get it out and take it for a walk.
Very, very well said!
However there is another reason for me. Here, in the summer, my tanks are very warm, so I tend (in the summer, which thankfully is not now) to wear them only in the cool evenings.
