    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.

      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.”

      dude was rocking it fr 🔥

        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”.
