    Well, I guess that is the line passed which care must be taken in respecting the Highland traditions.

    There are styles of contemporary and casual kilts that do not look like traditional kilts., so those are separate from Highland attire.

    It makes no difference if the kilt is a solid color or tweed or tartan as to it's traditionalness or non-traditionalness.

    I think that sums it up so far.

    * Just for reference, the Stillwater wool kilts, without alterations, are an example of a casual kilt that has the look of a fairly traditional kilt going by the Wizards definition. It's almost like the last several steps in making the kilt are skipt and the buckles and waistband are sewn on without the steeking and removing the inside of the pleats above the fell. I do think the pillow butt effect would be noticeable on several body shapes, though...
