You'll find every possible variation of opinions here on this board. There is no single pervasive opinion.

Some people think the kilt should be worn for all occasions, in all modes of dress, with an "anything goes" attitude. Others think it should only be worn in its traditional manner, and for specific occasions. And yet others hold views somewhere in between.

So I daresay it would be an error to attempt to extract a singular sense of what's right or wrong from what you see on this forum. Wear what you like, and fear not the kilt police.

Having said that, you might find over time that your tastes change when you are exposed to the opinions and extensive experience of others, especially our native Scots who have worn kilts in the traditional manner, in its native context. You may gradually start to agree with those who think that Jacobite shirts are a silly modern fabrication of a costume look, representing the worst kind of Brigadoonery, and stop wearing them altogether. You may come to the realization that white and ecru hose are a modern offshoot of the kilt-hire industry, having no basis in history up until a couple of decades ago, and that they look like you walked straight out of a rental shop, knowing nothing of the proper kilt-wearing traditions.

Or, conversely, you may decide that Jacobite shirts and ecru hose are really the best look after all, and that you'll throw tradition to the wind and wear them anyway, along with a Braveheart style two-handed claymore and woad face-paint. That's the beauty of a forum like this: everyone will reach a different conclusion on what looks 'right' or suits their personal taste. Everyone will have an opinion on your choices, either good or bad, and they'll be (mostly) polite about it. Some may tell you that you're doing it wrong, but if so, their intentions are honest. You're perfectly free to ignore them and carry on as you please.

Please do consider, though, that we have an extensive base of knowledgeable folks, from native Scots to historians and kilt/tartan experts, and that they will be fairly vocal about pointing out what's traditional and what's not. This is for the overall greater good of the kilt-wearing public, so that we can all know what the true traditions are, and decide for ourselves whether we want to follow them or not.

Welcome to the forum, and happy kilting!
