Reader's Inquiry


Richard,

You often mention that WASP style is heavily influenced by English culture, especially the Royal Family. I have often seen members of the Royal Family wearing kilts. The Duke wore one, and so did Prince Charles. Have you ever worn a kilt, and is a kilt part of the classic wardrobe?

Yes, the English influenced the style I call WASP style, and most all male members of the Royal Family in England have been photographed wearing a kilt. Have I ever worn a kilt? No. Is there a time and place for this classic garment? Yes. In my opinion, if you do not fall into a situation listed below, you should not wear a kilt:

1. You become a member of the Royal Family.

2. If you are Scotish, and a family event calls for a kilt.

3. If you are invited to a theme party, and a kilt is part of the attire.

Otherwise, don't wear one.
