You’re right, it’s the socks that make this the…

It’s not just that they are the worst, they’re incorrect. That’s not just a kilt, it’s a military uniform, with the hat? I can’t see it, it’s dark, but like. That’d be like wearing a dress blue jacket and no goddamn pants. Of course he looks ridiculous. The socks are part of the uniform. You can’t just hike up your everyday socks and pretend. That’s not how this works.

I uh, I sort of don’t find kilts particularly sexy because uh, my dad wears them kind of a lot. I mean, only as formalwear, as is appropriate– they’re not like work clothes, nowadays. And like. You can’t wear a tux without the vest bit, or some equivalent? You can’t wear the kilt without the socks, and the sock garters. It’s. A thing. (I think the sgean dubh is optional, but a lot of people just wear a false decorative hilt.)
