Why is it not socially acceptable for me to wear a kilt in America?

They look so much more airy than wearing shorts?

Answer #1

It’s the whole masculinity image. Kilts are often seen as skirts, and society tends to view skirts as feminine.

Answer #2

I think it should be! There is nothing wrong with a fella wearing a kilt. Fellas in kilts are sexy! : )

Answer #3

I’d accept it if a man wore a kilt and i’m from The States, so obviously not everyone feels the same way about everything, that’s what happens when people think for themselves and form their own opinions.

Answer #4

I’m scottish and so is one of my uncles, he went to a scottish wedding where all the grooms men wore kilts, had those little side purse things, and their kinives. :)

Answer #5

Kilts arent an american tradition or something thats seen as the “norm” in the states. It in no way means you cant rock a kilt or skirt down the streets if you wanted too, theres no law saying you cant. Youll get some looks and stares, but who cares. I get looks all the time in my small town for the way i look and my tattoos, it doesnt stop me from expressing myself. I think thats the big problem with people in general, worrying too much about what others think instead of just being themselves.

Answer #6

This is the problem, in the US, they are such judgmental people, to the point of being, all I can come up with is square.

Answer #7

Sadly enough, judgmental people are everywhere. It’s part of human nature. It annoys the hell out of me, but I can’t deny I judge too.

Answer #8

I would love to wear kilts, they would be so comfy, but I believe it’s acceptable only in Scotland to wear kilts or skirts for men. I’m in India, people would laugh at me if I wore kilt or skirt!

Answer #9

Well I think they would be very airy, and I have some Irish in me. Next time I am on vacation I am going to get me one.

Answer #10

because this is not scotland, this is America lol
