oh speaking of, yesterday I was looking at an alt punk skirt with like a metal chain and spikes on it.
In the reviews there was this real manly man wearing it next to his significant other with the caption along the lines “I got invited to my buddies Scottish wedding, but I am not Scottish. So I got this. 5 stars.”
Definitely a skirt, not a kilt. Kilts are flat in front and pleated in the back/sides, usually with a sporran, and pretty much always tartan; the only time I’ve seen someone wear a solid-colour kilt is in pictures of Americans cosplaying with “tactical kilts”.
One of my moms favorite stories about my childhood (I was like 6), is that I wanted to wear a skirt, like my sisters, to a wedding.
She had to explain to me that boys don’t wear skirts.
Only for a scottish man to be at the wedding, wearing a kilt. I apparently got very cross with mom for lying to me.
I love this story, and thanks for giving me another reason to appreciate Scottish nonconformity.
It’s not really nonconformity, it just conforms to a different set of fixed gender-specific clothing rules.
Yep. I’d imagine a lot of people would consider some middle eastern male clothing to be dresses as well. It’s all just perspective.
Meanwhile I just wanna rock a linen thobe

The first kilt I wore (UK pipe band) was an Irish saffron kilt - just a single colour.
Fair, but since I didn’t see you in that kilt my statement still stands
Oh, I didn’t realise the only kilts in existence were the ones you’d personally inspected.
If you want, I guess? Not a belief I hold personally, things I haven’t seen are just things I haven’t seen.
