Men in kilts...whaddayathink?

I don't mean dress kilts for special occasions, I mean a more "everyday kilt". Examples: http://www.21stcenturykilts.com/denim.htm

Do ya think a guy could get away with wearing one of these around Dublin? How would *you* react if ya saw a guy in one of those in a bar?

DAMN SEXY!;)

but don't know if you'd get away with wearing one on an average night out in Dublin:eek: (unless it was a stags or something)

I would react by saying get your kit off!* Sorry!:o

*Or at least give us a flash!

Edit: Jebus! - only saw the pics just there. They're not kilts, they're man dresses!!!! WTF??????? NOT SEXY!!!

Yes Yes. Kilts and more of them. They look great on guys.

I may consider one if it helps prevent me from getting sweaty balls.

Aside from that, no

Tigger · 08-04-2008 6:19pm

i like the whole "are you man enough to wear a kilt " ad lines
but they are skirts
i'm sure they look lovley but trousers are just sooo much more practicle
what happens when you get arroused its gonna be hard to hide

Faith · 08-04-2008 6:20pm

Traditional kilts are fantastic (it's why I live in Scotland!) but those "modern" ones you linked to are awful!

Tigger · 08-04-2008 6:23pm

so its agreed kilts (tartan and 5 yards of it) good/ man skirts bad

Kilts are stupid things worn by scots men on trips away almost exclusively to get attention from the wimmins. This is an admirable thing in itself, but wearing of a kilt is too high a price to pay imo.

Try boxers: theyre roomy

Karl Hungus · 08-04-2008 6:43pm

I'd like a kilt.

Lockstep · 08-04-2008 6:44pm

Kilts look fecking cool albeit often pretentious but those just look like skirts.

Failure.

Entirely true. They're only worn to attract the most immediate and idiotic form of innuendo.

My brother and his best man wore one (all the rest of the gear as well) with the family clan colours at his wedding. Don't think much of kilts, I prefer a cape personally.

You've never heard of a sporran then?

As for kilts? No thanks...perhaps if I was scottish and it was warm...otherwise I'll stick with the trousers thanks...

for the coat-tail effect, or... ?

Kimbot · 08-04-2008 6:51pm

AH I remember wearing a kilt many years ago, back in the days of youth bands!!

Wimmens for some strange reason loved proper kilts..... and when they asked for a flash I oblidged!!

WindSock · 08-04-2008 8:02pm

Giggity

SingingCherry · 08-04-2008 11:40pm

Those are definitely man skirts. That's not a good look unless you are a gorgeous man who can pull it off with confidence. If people are not distracted by the thought of what could be underneath the kilt, than you can't pull it off. Stick to trousers. Sting did this in 2003 I think and looked so very hot. The average joe would not.

Yer mans hair on the right hand side of that is hilarious. He looks like something out of a street fighter game.

I think this is acceptable - if they're Scottish\half Scottish. I'm half Scot, and shall be wearing a kilt for my wedding if possible. Otherwise I wouldn't. I'd consider it attention seeking.

Kilts are f**king stupid. They are skirts. When I lived in Scotland you'd always have big drunk toff idiot Scots out wearing them in Edinburgh during occasions like rugby games, and they always combined them with big wooly socks and desert style boots. I can put up with them for traditional Scotch dress (thank god I'm not scottish) but apart from that they seem only for brash idiot scots looking to get comments from girls in Temple Bar on stag weekends, and even worse, stupid Irish people who wear them to weddings/debs etc. WHY do Irish people do that????

Brian33 · 09-04-2008 7:20am

So....the general feeling is "not so much"?

What's with society's problem with a man in an unbifurcated garment? Women can wear trousers...

I wore a kilt for a week on a camping holiday in Rothesay Isle of Bute and I must say it was a good experience.

Luckily it was a very humid week and the breezes winnowing unfettered up the thigh kept the, erm ,clock weights lovely and cool.

I even toyed with the idea of abandoning the kex for a day or two and letting the scottish breezes tickle the cluster,but backed down when I discovered some para gliding might be involved that day.

Major advantage in the thunderbox though,no belts, zips, trews to drop,just swish her up at the back,on to the commode, and bang!!.

Done and dusted in no time,and just drop her down and away you go.

Wouldn't write them off at all .

af_thefragile · 09-04-2008 10:46am

Yeah, those would be cool only in Scotland...

In other places you'll always get asked why you're wearing a skirt.

connundrum · 09-04-2008 10:47am

Came home late last night, missus nearly kilt me :pac:

Oh and mandresses ftw

Irish have kilts too in case you didn't know.

Btw, you don't have to be an athlete to wear a tracksuit or a hunter or a soldier to wear camouflage clothing.

Propper kilts look pretty good on fellas. Although them man skirts posted just look a bit crap in my opinion. Each to his own though.

What's all this about having to be Scottish to wear a kilt?
