It’s a skirt, not a dress (dresses start at the shoulder, skirts start at the waist).

Only cool, if it’s ethnically appropriate.

As with dusters and fedoras, the people wearing them never look as cool as they think they do. Most of the time, you look like a complete tool.

I have a kilt. Never wore it. Never will. It’s very old and way too small for me. It was given to me when my grandfather died. His parents emigrated from Scotland.

This is the family pattern

I have a duster-length raincoat. I don't care how stupid I look when my legs don't get drenched.

Its lame on a grand scale and unless you are Scottish or Irish then you should not even think of wearing one.

I you do wear one, realize you will be laughed at, ridiculed and possibly have it ripped off and taken from you.

But if you are a grown man into larping, don't stop with a kilt, get a suit of armor and maybe a traditional native American outfit.

Kilts are only manly when the wearer is actively involved in warfare. Bonus points for wearing one while doing a bayonet charge with a SMLE No.1 Mk III.

Modern kilts are skirts, traditional kilts (Scottish) are extra long blankets. Not unusual to be 22-28 feet long and 4 feet wide. You sleep in it then fold it and wear it during the day. Can be used as a blanket or a tent. Can be worn ankle length or up over your head. Sitting down, such as leaning against a tree one can cover completely, over head and toe.

Mine is an Irish design 24 feet long, 22 inches wide.

Greeks and many other nationalities wore kilts.

I have one that was given to me as a gift. I’ve worn it to play paintball but that’s it.

Tactical kilts are the gayest

I voted not cool.
I have a Kilt and it’s fine for a formal event or Highland games etc. Every time I’ve seen someone just randomly wearing one around town they generally look stupid. Just my opinion

Only people I know who wear kilts are maybe 1/16th Scottish and hang on to their shred of heritage for dear life, clearly compensating for something.

If my grandfather was alive and you called him gay for wearing his kilt he would call you a chowder head right after slugging you in the eye.

As with most things in life, it’s situational.

Wearing a “tactical kilt”? Fucking dumb.

Wearing a kilt around town because it’s edgy? Ha, gay.

Wearing your family tartan at an appropriate venue or event? That’s allowable.

Competing in Highland games? It’s encouraged and manly.

I’ve worn my kilt in the last two situations - never in the first two.

It's a historical oddity that can be cool, when seen in that context. It has no place in modern dress for most people unless they're attention seeking types.

My wife is half Scottish and half Isle of Jersey. I'm part Scottish too. We typically celebrate Robert Burns Day. It would be appropriate.

Voted FJB because kilt can be either. For many (probably most) who try to wear them they are somewhere between lame and totally Liberace gay (e.g. Wearing some 5.11 tactikilt is totally gay).
However if you are wearing a traditional kilt for legiit reasons like say ancestry or ceremonial and you own that bad bitch and wear it with confidence and properly there is not darn thing wrong with them, cool. Seen numerous guys pull it off.

Lack of antlers in this dudes house makes me assume he’s a weak bitch.

Real men have worn "skirts" for a hell of a lot longer than pants were the norm.

That being said, if you're 140lbs with no muscle definition, you don't look as William Wallace as you think.

If you're not playing bagpipes while wearing that costume, you're a fag. If you are playing bagpipes, odds are, you're still a fag.

Acceptable if you have the appropriate build for it (i.e. broad shoulders, muscular arms, and legs like you live for leg day).

Otherwise, it’s the male equivalent of a fat girl in spandex.

I had a male black coworker who has never left the state show up to a wedding in full African royalty clothing. He said it was his heritage to dress like that.

African garb, men in kilts, everyone who is 1/16th Cherokee dressing in Indian garb are all just looking for some type of belonging in a mundane life.
If they are hot women I want to tell them to go back further to when their ancestors wore no clothes at all.

Wearing an actual kilt properly, in an appropriate context is cool.

Anything else, especially utilikilts, are just lame.

However, the pic in the OP is the opposite of badass.

Kilts are for hipsters that aren’t quite liberal enough to come out of the closet yet.

On this subject I have to give a shout out to a friend of mine who was in the British Army at the time and whom I lost contact with a long time ago, Sgt P. Anderson who taught me more about kilts than I ever wanted to know.
