I am guilty of only wearing my kilt(s) on special occasions like weddings, funerals, and some parties but especially at New Year (depending on the type of event). Apart from the usual comments from my drinking friends when I arrive I normaly get compliments and thanks for "making an effort" or showing respect. Last year my best pal's son died and I went kilted to the funeral as usual. Some months later I mentioned to the lads mother that I was going to wear my kilt more often. She commented that she thought it would detract from the occasions I usually wore it on and suggested that I keep it for special occasions. She changed her opinion when she saw me at New Year for the first time dressed in PC jacket Full Dress Sporran etc. She had only ever seen my in Tweed Argyle and more sombre, casual attire. She was not fully aware of the many different looks that kilted can have.
