Woman in a Kilt?

[M_Beorn]

As a Navy Vet myself, I say go for it! Kilts may be a masculine article of clothing, but wearing it doesn't make a man. It's the person in the kilt that makes the clothes. I love the look of a woman in uniform and in a kilt!

BTW, Here's my new kilt - it's the Edzell!

Thank you all very much for your input. You've all pretty much reached the same conclusion as my wife and I, and I will be sure to look diligantly for a tartan skirt or perhaps a kilt like garment that closes on the left... As far as that goes, I'll be sure to hit the lasses wear thread.

On the subject as a whole, I will have to agree with M_Beorn though; a kilt doesn't make the man, and this tartan does represent military service, which in this case, my wife most certainly rates. So, in that respect, I guess it would really depend on the actual situation it was being worn in (which is usually always the rule of thumb). Also, a tartan skirt displays a high level of femininity that one may not want (at least in regards to military service).

Personally, I don't necessarily see anything wrong with a women in a kilt, but I do respect the traditions and heritage a kilt represents. So, I am officially undecided. I will say the idea of a modified kilt that closes on the left is definitely a valid option; I had never even heard of that until now...

Oh, and before I forget, that is a REALLY sharp looking kilt.
