I think it is changing. A few decades ago women wearing pants also weren't acceptable.

Though I think there is a loophole. If you would put on a Scottish Kilt you probably would be ok.

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. :(

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.

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

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.
