Non-Scot kilted in London?

[GG]

Next month my wife and I plan to go to London for a few days. I have worn kilts in many cities and countries and without any problems. But I have never worn a kilt in London or the UK as such.
Could there be a difference here in the interpretation of a man wearing a kilt – national dress to part of the population – and who 1) is a non-Scot and 2) not even has English as his mother tongue?

Should I just wear the kilt (casual wear) or?
Some advice should be helpful.

London is a vast metropolis, nobody's gonna care, especially the English!

Heck, I've worn my father-in-law's Ghanaian kente cloth about town in the English capital with not a look sideways from folks on Oxford Street!

BTW, I once wore my kilt in Copenhagen when I was there for a wedding - minimal reaction.

I have never been to London wearing a kilt, but in my sleepy country village that I live in the people are just about getting use to me dressed in a kilt, but I think people today couldn't care less what you wear as they are too busy thinking about themselves

Greg, there will be no problem at all wearing a kilt in london, I live just on the edge of London and regulary(well usually) go in wearing a kilt, lots of different types as well, from casual to smart, so go on .. do it!!

If you have time it would be lovely to find time for a coffee as well, send me a message and let me know!

Bruce just about summed it up, no one will look twice in London.

That made me laugh out loud. It also made me a bit sad in it's truth.

You will see many styles of dress in London - you should have no problem at all Greg.

I've worn my kilt on my trips to London and never had a second glance from the locals. One thing I did notice however was the surprising lack of smiles on peoples faces. Everyone always seemed to be in a great hurry to get somewhere and unhappy to be making the journey.

Just an observation.

I wore my kilt to London and got a lot of comments from women. All good , of course. Just do it.

I've worn a kilt in many places in England, and in my experience London is about the only place that no-one seemed to notice at all what I have been wearing (as has already been said). Go for it, and enjoy London!
Good Luck.
