Just commented, nah, women do not like the kilt look, not any I've dated. I'm not so hot on them myself. One of those things that sounds like a good idea, doesn't really work out. OTOH, very nice with leggings and combat boots. Warm!

Guys, if you want to try one, get a knock-off Utilikilt. Loads of pockets, manly looking (I think) without the formal pleated look. I never have a chance to wear the pleated one. :(

The women I’ve dated that are into men love guys in kilts, but I’m a woman so it may be that bi women are more likely to like it than straight women. That said I’ve heard complaints that some guys don’t bother with ensuring it’s a good kilt for them and picking a good outfit with it

I wore a Utilikilt for a while. They're surprisingly uncomfortable. Sitting in a kilt requires effort. The material is a heavy denim, which is hot and doesn't fall nicely. I expected the breeze to be enjoyable. It's not.

The pockets are good.

Perhaps for the younger generations? Gen X will always think it looks weird if a man wears a summer dress, because trend choices get fixated in your late teens and don't change that much after that.
