My wife is not on board with the whole kilt thing.

[Carolina Kiltman]

To add a bit to what Alan said.
The last time someone told me what to wear,and I did because there was no other choice,I was in the service of my Country,and when I left the service no one has ever told me what I can wear.

In my case it was both the Navy, and later, to a much lesser extent, my employer. I had to deal with the public, especially the "suits" in the business world. I knew if I dressed too far out of their perception of what is "proper" I wouldn't get their money for my organization, and I would be replaced by someone who could. But on the domestic level, it has always been, on both sides pretty much live and let live. Occasionally for special occasions, a request.

But the last thing I'll do is try to tell you how to handle your problem. I'm not there, nor am I you, nor is your wife my wife! I'll shut up now.
