It depends what your goal is. For company black tie functions, I wear a kilt with an argyll and appropriate accoutrements.

This year, (after doing Groundskeeper Willy last year), the company softball team suggested I go as Rowdy Roddy Piper. I'll be donning a Hot Rod tee, some work boots, and a kilt.

Both situations entail wearing one, but in completely different ways. Many here will argue that wearing one is no different than wearing pants, and that it can apply to a variety of situations depending on both how you accessorize, and how you carry yourself.

How about historic "costume," as Jay suggests? This is how I would wear a kilt on Halloween:

Darn you! I was about to make the same comment. Personally, I have dumped too much time, money and effort into my own Jacobite ensemble to be able to justify spending more money on a Party City costume. And besides, my Renaissance Scots outfit looks way better. (It's not as good as yours yet- my doublet is still in the making and I haven't gotten a pair of buckle shoes or diced socks- but it's coming along nicely. I just ordered my bonnet this weekend as a matter of fact! I'm stoked to get it.)

I don't know about you, but I'm going to be Ash from "Evil Dead" on Halloween. I'm not wearing the kilt on purpose.

Since people are so used to seeing me kilted, I though about buying one of those cheesy Jock Scot costumes. I wouldn't wear my nice kilts as a costume, but dressing up as a stereotype is something different. It would be like being an engineer that dressed super geeky for Halloween.

How about a polka-dotted kilt. Now that would be a costume! You could be the kielbasa fairy!

Would this do it for you?

Would this do it for you?

My wife just came in and saw your photo. All she said was,...Jamaican Camouflage! My feeling is,...if it is Jamaican Camouflage,...then it Hasta be Rasta,...Add some dreadlocks and Bob Marley in the background and you'll be all set.

As for me,...I'll just don my great kilt and discuss the benefits of doing business with the MacGregor Cattle Company.

What! Me Cheesy? Oh my word,no one will ever take me seriously again! Did they ever,I ponder?

Sure I'd wear my kilt on Halloween. It's just another day. I've worn a kilt on Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and just about any other day of the year. I don't wear a kilt everywhere I go, but if I want to wear one, the day makes no difference.
