Nothing sexier than a man in a kilt....don't let 'em tell ya different.

Go primitive with the kilt that goes anywhere

By MICHAEL D. CLARK

FAMOUS KILTS
Celebrities who have helped keep the kilt in vogue:
Sean Connery: Perhaps the most well-known native Scot in the world, the original James Bond wore a kilt as a villain in the lackluster movie The Avengers. He has also been known to wear them in real life at awards ceremonies and black-tie affairs.

Mel Gibson: No one knows for sure whether Scottish war hero William Wallace actually wore kilts since he died in 1305 and his exploits have been passed down more as legend than fact. But in the 1995 epic Braveheart, Gibson not only portrayed Wallace in a kilt, but he and his men also "mooned" the English army prior to battle.

Samuel L. Jackson: In Formula 51, the lead villain instructs a henchman to "Follow the black man wearing a dress." The black man was Jackson as master chemist Elmo McElroy, and his "dress" was a tartan kilt that made him the most fashionable scientist ever.

Madonna: During her Drowned World 2001 tour, the pop diva wore a black-and-white-plaid kilt.

Liam Neeson: Playing Highland hero Rob Roy MacGregor in the 1995 film Rob Roy, Neeson was a powerful presence who wasn't afraid to show a little leg.

Sting: The former lead singer of the Police turned jazzy solo artist turned heads at the 46th annual Grammy Awards in February with an all-black pleated kilt and suit jacket ensemble.


Modesty snap? If I'm going to wear a kilt, how about getting me a dignity snap?

For most American men not born with roots to a Scottish clan, the idea of wearing a kilt, or any other garment that someone might mistake for a skirt, ranks up there with applying eyeliner and nail polish. With the exception of drag queens and in-character drama majors, it isn't going to happen.

Perhaps more liberal cities -- such as San Francisco or New York, where taking fashion to the extreme can be chic -- would be more inviting to men who show a little calf at the workplace.

But we're talking Houston. A city where Wranglers are king and the most daring statement most men will consider about legwear are rubber fishing waders.

Then again, maybe not?
