If i was to wear a kilt in scotland it would be ok and no one would say anything, but what would happen if i..

...was to wear a mini skirt? would people still think it as the same? Kilt= skirt
Skirt= skirt

Any problems with that?
Additional Details
But it is a skirt!
Trousers are trousers
Shorts are shorts

The kilt isnt adapted in anyway to make it not look like a skirt.

wear what you want, nobody is bothered about what you wear, dont think you would be all that important to other people - put on a bra as well if you like.

the kilt is NOT a skirt.

No problems with that at all - each to their own and all that but I should say, a kilt is NOT a skirt!

You might attract a bit of mockery wearing a miniskirt but a mini-kilt would be acceptable. A kilt is not the same as a skirt, the cut and styling of a kilt is quite distinctive.


MANCHESTER UK
Some years ago. I was invited to a big 'do' in Stirling Castle. One of the stipulations was that all men had to wear the kilt and all ladies were to wear the appropriate dress.

Not being Scottish made no difference; there is a tartan for every clan imaginable and when I got to my hotel in Edinburgh, the vestments were all laid out on our beds, hired from a local shop.

Needless to say, as Sassenachs (query the spelling) we felt a little embarrassed but as all men were in kilts, our blushes were spared.

What an evening we had. Something to remember.

So basically what your saying is you want to be a flasher and want our blessings?
coz you not clear weather you will be wearing any form of underwear?
It will be a cheap thrill if nothing else.
good luck

If you want people to think you are gay then go ahead and wear a mini skirt.


zoogrl2001
When I was in Edinburgh last summer, I saw several men in kilts, and they looked GOOD! However, the idea of a man walking around in a mini skirt is not at all exciting. Wear whatever you like, though. You have no one to please except yourself.

It's only a skirt if you wear something under it, dear. Otherwise, it's a kilt.

I have seen Scots wear kilts and they look dashing in it too. It is not a skirt by the way.

Skirt... or a sarong - well go ahead. Some of us may laugh while some of us won't even bat an eyelid. Edinburgh is full of culture and all wakes of life... especially during Tourist seasons.

Once had a friend walk up the Royal Mile during the festival season in the nude and no-one blinked! A couple of tourists came up to him to ask for directions.

Go ahead wear a kilt, a skirt or just go in the buff (nude).

The Tartans are protected patterns ("copyrighted" if you like) so if you're in Scotland and you are not a member of the Clan who's colours you are wearing then you may get into trouble. They might think that you're taking the piss.

Try it in England and most sensible people would either think you were a Scot (if they didn't know the Tartan) or ignore it (provided your knees aren't offensive).

If you behave like a git (and "insist on your rights" in inappropriate circumstances) then you'll probably get duffed up wherever you are.

Anyway dear, you can't really wear you kilt skirt sarong in Scotland...
Your must have scottish blood running in your veins, or be married to a scot.
Each colour and pattern of a kilt is referencial to a specify Clan. Mc gregor, mc kinnley etc.

So... wear a kilt and you could be laughed at!

You could wear what you want in Edinburgh we are a lovely lot of people and have seen all sorts walking on Princes Street and in the gardens .... everyone fits it ...

A kilt is cut different from a skirt. There are laws stating the minimum of cloth that goes into making it. Could you wear a mini made of 9 yards of cloth?
There are also standards of dress. Frankly I think some people would think you were taking the piss if you wore a mini and you might not like that.

I say what ever floats your boat. Maybe where a mini skirt with a tartan design?

The only way to find out is to wear one and see what happens. I think this has already been done. They are called transvestites.

no problem with it but i think its fair to expect a few jibes xx


ak222002
kilit is not a skirt


jackie m
Why would you want to wear one in the first place? no-one here wears kilts unless its for a new year party or something like that, with today's weather I would wear heavy trousers and a warm jumper and take an umbrella.
