A kilt is warm in winter and cool in summer, do you know of any other outfit you can say that about?

To many to write about in detail on this page, but the kilt outfits page does go into detail on how to dress your kilt both up or down. Another benefit of a kilt is that when properly cared for, it will last a lifetime, mine is fifteen years old, and looks as good today as when I first bought it, as do all the kilt accessories that go with it. Was it expensive? Yes, it was the most expensive outfit I have ever, or will ever buy. But it has been outstanding value for money! So if you want something really special to wear, that will make you feel like a million dollars, my recommendation, buy a kilt costume.
