Well, I changed into my Utilikilt in a quiet room at the office then returned to my desk.In the ‘What are you wearing as you post’ thread I wrote:…To stay on topic I will now have to admit that I'm in a double pocketed blue button front shirt, tan chinos and black suede shoes. I've just got back to our Spanish office after a customer visit and will be swapping the chinos for my similarly coloured UK before I leave to fly home.
Although I regularly wear kilts and skirts out and about in Barcelona I had never met a colleague while skirted and, as far as I am aware, none of them knew of my sartorial preferences.
I returned to the office after changing, packed the chinos in my bag, did a final email check, sorted a couple of engineering changes, packed up my laptop and bid my colleagues farewell before walking down to the waiting taxi. No one said anything (to me) but I was certainly aware of a few craned necks
. The best bit was the look on the manufacturing manager's face, he desperately wanted to say something but could not bring himself to do so; to say his face went an odd colour would be something of an understatement.Next time I travel to the Barcelona office I shall wear the kilt when I arrive and only change if / when I have to meet a customer. I figure that now a few of them have seen me in a kilt the rest know about it and, provided I’m relaxed and comfortable, no one should get too excited.
Have fun,
Ian.
