Wearing a kilt to work. Underwear or Not?

"Wardrobe malfunctions" only further your career if you're a celebrity... Jus' sayin'

I think that only applies to female celebrities

All it takes is one idiot to flip up the rear of your kilt and realize that you aren't wearing anything under the kilt and you are marked for life. If you still have a job. Tat is why I won't wear mine to work again. Our learned HR maven stopped me and said,"You better be wearing underwear". That kind of comment could have gotten her fired. But she would have fired me first. No kilt, No problem. I have plenty of other places to wear the kilt that are more accepting.

Do you want to wash/clean your kilt as often as you change underwear when wearing pants. You are sitting down most of the day. Go figure!

To me it comes down to one question. Will children be present. Thats the only time when I consider it because I find that wearing under the kilt affects the swing of my kilts.

Having read most of the posts on this subject, I can tell you as someone who works in a Regimental office, when I wear my kilt all day, I always wear something beneath. This is for comfort and hygiene. We have two lady collegues who work in a very Scottish, predominantly male enviroment where kilt order is not un-common, and we don't ask them about their arrangements and they don't ask about ours.

The general rule for us when wearing uniform that involves kilts, is wear what ever is comfortable for you. There is only one exception for this and that is when we parade infront of Her Majesty or on a long parade when cameras of any variety are around! Long and hot marches involve either wearing something or the liberal use of vasseline to stop chaffing!

My recommendation would be to use your head, find out what the office rules are about inappropriate dress codes, but also check your companies genger policy; would a women be treated the same as you if she accidentally 'flashed a co-worker?

Of Course flashing isn't really the problem here. Learning how to wear a kilt when sitting, standing, crouching, kneeling, is all important. Wearing a kilt is a noble thing to do and shouldn't be made less so by flashing, accidentlly, on purpose, or even if asked too! Don't forget that if a co-worker tries to lift your kilt, that's sexual harrassment in the same way as if that was done to a women.

Happy kilt wearing to all.

Oh thank goodness, some one with undoubted experience talking sense at last!

Thank you, Lon Scot Reg Secretary! Your words are words to live by. Couldn't have said it better and, a fine contribution to the forum on the subject as a whole. Makes very fine sense. I'm with Jock!

After reading all of the posts I am a bit shocked by all of the folks rockin' their kilts with anything other than proper footwear underneath.I have always felt that if you are brave enough to rock a manskirt in public, you should enjoy the added freedom. All this talk of having fellow employees sexually harass you at work is sickening. I have been wearing kilts since 2006 and have noticed that while traditional kilts require some thought whilst sitting and walking up and down stairs- UKs eliminate nearly all of those problems. Since I'm in the US Army the opportunity to wear anything other than a unisex camo smock rarely presents itself, however on special occasions when civilian attire is authorized- "pants" as the Island Folk call them, are never even considered. I say rock it like you gotta pair!

When I've worn my kilt in the office, I always wear underwear. My reasoning there is that one accident could lead to kilts being on the banned list, and no one wants that...
