Don't even worry about what the goths think. It's strange that they would even say anything but they're in their own countre culture world and they do wear a uniform to fit in with whatever their goal is.

A hipster bag. Got to have something to carry stuff around in. I see now there's crosses as gothic jewellery. Is that one of those Celtic ones?

Actually, I've been wearing kilts from age 15 (as a regular part of my wardrobe) all the way up until now.

Then quite clearly you're not the "average calibre teenager".

Scottish and other Boy Scouts wear kilts as part of their boy scout uniforms. Mostly in the age brackets of 6 to 16 or so I think. I was a Scouts mentor when I was 22 and the marching band we had wore kilts with bagpipes and drums.

I think you are in Sweden, right. I think you should not get any negative guff wearing that in Sweden. I live in Finland.

Don't go to Goths/Ravers/Whatever for fashion advice. Go to your peers - people who are the same age as you. "A dad trying to be 16" should give you a clue as to what age group you are dealing with.

And don't think of yourself as a "reject". You have every bit as much a right to wear what is comfortable for you as anyone else.

You've got good priorities, Ricky! I agree, boots are wonderful things. Perhaps a plainer photo of just you and the clothes would have gotten a better reception. My first impression was thinking your drapes look heavy, took me a while to get around to the kilt. At that angle it can also look as much like Bermuda shorts as a kilt. Seen in person people get a much better look at it.
