Ya look grand. here are the rules-- learn them, follow them, and then when you are 100% comfortable that you know what you are doing you can experiment.

1) hem of kilt should just touch the top of your knees;

2) sporran should be high enough to reach into without hunching over;

3) socks should be about 3 finger-widths below the bottom of the knee;

4) no white socks, pale ecru socks, vanilla socks, or socks that have been worn more than once without going thru the laundry.

5) underwear is optional, but probably a good idea until you get used to wearing your kilt in all manner of situations, especially sitting on steps or metal benches on hot, sunny days.

The rest is easy, and as you add to your wardrobe it all makes sense... sort of, or so I'm told.

So, I'd suggest you hike up your kilt just a tad, follow Whidbey's advice and get a leather strap for your sporran, and revel in your heritage.

Oh yes. Welcome to X Marks!
