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.

A great kilt is a multipurpose item.

A great kilt is basically just a big wool blanket with fancy patterns on it.

Not the worst thing to have in a survival situation.

My best friend wore his Clan Gordon dress kilt for his daughter's wedding last weekend.
He looked very classy.  Shame he couldn't carry his Claymore, but his dirk was tucked into his sock.

But what if my ancestry dna came back as 2% Scottish.  Can I then start wearing a kilt and bragging about my heritage?

Why is there so much pride in being the literal red-headed stepchildren of the English?

It's not the kilt that bothers me, it's the guy wearing it who inevitably thinks himself a unique snowflake character but in reality is just an obnoxious self absorbed faggot. I'm sure there are many in GD.

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.

Agreed. Even in Scotland you rarely see kilts outside tourist areas like the Royal Mile and the vast majority of sightings of real Scots wearing real kilts are at, as you said, the last two situations.

If you’re a re-enactment person, a Scotsman doing Scottish stuff (I mean, born and bred, not “my great great great grandfather was from Glasgow”), or it’s actually part of a military uniform. knock yourself out.

If you’re pretty much anyone else, and not playing bagpipes at the time, you better have some heels to go with that skirt, doofus.

If not, it’s a dress.

I have 5 different kilts. 3 tartan (Clan Donald/MacDonald) and 2 TDK from 5.11. I'm the Deputy Commissioner of Oklahoma for Clan Donald, USA and what that person is wearing in the picture is a high waisted skirt. That is not a kilt.

I am scottish for the most part, Clan Keith and Clan Douglas and I own kilts from both clans.  I have ONLY ever worn them at the Scottish Highland festivals in Colorado.  Otherwise they hide in my closet until some caber tossing is to be done.  Also, these are full on Great Kilts, not the skirts.

U wot M8 ??

My lass is a genuine sweaty sock - complete with red hair - though blue eyes not green.
She doesn't wear tartan, ever, though she does have a lifesized stuffed haggis with her clan badge & tartan hat on it.
So there....

Anyway, to address the topic

No idea WHO or WHAT is in OP's photo, but that gimp is wearing a tartan skirt = given how high it is being worn.
Any closer to the armpits & his pink frillies would be showing.
KILTS tend to be genuine when worn with correct accessories and/or as part of traditional dress

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 have two and wear them both.  The first I got was a plain black utility kilt.   The next was the realt thing.  Clan Campbell.  I really like it.  Too bad if some people don't.

Wore a kilt for a few Highland Games competitions, and a Prince Charlie for a Burns Night or two with that group of competitors.

Pretty much this.

The kilt thing was a phase some of my friends went through and subsequently grew out of. We all had our phases.
