What standard kilt item to you just hate?

[Oddern]

I hope this thread doesn't turn into a "I hate seeing this on other people" judgemental sort of a thread and more of a "I won't wear a ******* because I dislike them/it on myself." kind of thread.

The first, being rather potentially combative, whereas the second......isn't.

Take this a s a gentle nudge, and if you prefer "dislike" to "hate" then good on ye. I strongly dislike black kilt hose on MYSELF.

I share your dislike of this look. However, I've seen people make it work! It's just not for me.

I have to specify my earlier reply folks.
It is not my intention to be judgemental or combative. It was just a way for me to discribe a stile I would not go for and it probably came out a bit wrong due to my poor english.
I realy dislike the thought of me in a kilt without the hoses. I will feel less masculine.
But I also agree with Derek that some folks can pull it off.
(By the way, cool website Derek! )

Along with plastic when it should be wood, leather or jewel I really dislike:

Patent Leather - yuk yuk yuk - just bloody idleness!

Hate is a bit strong. I don't like tartan flashes nor do I like tartan ties with the kilt and while I am a jabot man myself for formal occasions I don't like lace cuffs because they catch on things and dip in your soup - not because of the look which I do like. They just aren't practical.

A huge ***

Plus, and I'll catch some heat for this: I believe that it's time that we stop wearing sealskin.

Just my $.02

You can treat athlete's foot, but crocs are always going to be ugly .....

Yes, but they are darn comfortable!

I don't hate anything. However I'm not a fan of buckle or gillie brogues. I prefer a nice standard brogue. Fake sgian dubhs are a no. Dirks,claymore basket hilts and the targe, are fine to display in your home collection which is where they should stay unless you are a re-enactor. Dirks are of course OK for pipers and to cut the haggis on Burns night.

I tuck them into the sleeves while eating, and pull them out after dessert. It works quite well.

Still cannot stand a kilt belt, I'll wear a vest or sweater or just plain do without.

I'm not crazy about belts period. I don't wear a sporran very often. I don't care to have things around my waist. I'll wear a vest or something with pockets instead.
