What women think

To most men it is important what women and especially their wives think about the way they look.
   Quite a few women do not only find kilted men in general sexy and good looking (not uncommon, really) but even their own husbands in a kilt (much more uncommon, though).
   Some men will wear a kilt because their wives have persuaded them.

What about your wife? Chances are that she is not beside herself with joy when you reveal your plans to her.
   Indeed, her first reaction could very well be extremely negative. Because you might, to her opinion, be going to rather radically change your mutual life.
   Do the best you can to understand her. What are her primary concerns?
   Probably the main one is simply that she loves you, and that she cares about you. She might fear that you could get harmed or ridiculed, because what should people say?

Kilt wearers will know that most people couldn't care less, but it might be difficult to have her believe that.
   She might also think that you don't love her anymore.
   More likely it is, however, that she fears it shall not stop with the kilt.
   What could come next, like skirts, dresses, high heels?
   Could you after all be a cross dresser, or are you even gay? This is not to be seen as an attack on homosexual people. They have their way of living, which we should respect. But for a marriage it is a bad cocktail.

 

Talk to your wife about your reasons why. Tell her that many "normal" men simply like wearing kilts and are practising it without any problems.
   Make her understand that you love her as much as ever before.
   Convince her that the world is not going to collapse if you, her husband, from time to time is to be seen wearing something different - like a kilt; and also that you have no secret agenda, the kilt being only the first step into a feminised appearance. If not true this site is not intended for you.

Most wives
eventually realize, that they have no reasons to feel jealous of a piece of cloth; and that a masculine garment like a kilt has nothing to do with transvestism or sexual preferences being incompatible with a marriage between a man and a woman.

In a good relationship both parties have to compromise.
   Get to an understanding about your kilt wearing; when, where, how often? Will you be kilted when you two are out together or just when you are on your own?
   Some wives simply don't want to attract attention because of their husband in a kilt.
Apart from the fact, that the attention, which a man in a kilt provokes, is extremely limited.
   Do accept her feelings. You are not supposed to be together 24/7, anyway.
   Also come in mind, that the more masculine you appear the better your chances that she (and your family etc.) shall accept it.

Never ever let such a thing as a kilt ruin an otherwise good marriage. But that goes both ways, of course. A marriage is a give and take system. That it is for the both of you.

 

I myself have been happily married for more than four decades by now. My wife is a wonderful person, young of mind and very, very beautiful. I love her affectionately, and so I have done since I first met her. It was love at first sight.
   Regarding my kilt wearing she is the tolerating, and not the supporting type of wife.
   Accordingly I mostly wear my kilts when on my own and that she knows, of course, and respects.
   Inside home she has no objections at all to me wearing a kilt.
