I take transit to work and it's getting hot in my city, I would like to wear shorts but I'm not allowed to wear them to work because of the dress code, however it allows skirts and is silent on kilts (and I think my managers will allow my bit of malicious compliance on this). Any recommendations on affordable utilikilt style brands? Do you think it would be weird to see a retail employee in a kilt in a major city and that I shouldn't do it?

EDIT: I just ordered a damn near kilt em kilt off of Poshmark. The price was right and the brand doesn't seem terrible quality.

If you’re only allowed to wear long pants, I would suggest ones made out of linen. They still look formal enough, but allow your legs to breathe, similar to shorts. Otherwise, just wear a kilt and see what reactions you get.

Arguably this is the best suggestion here because a good kilt is probably going to be fairly heavy and if I've got bike shorts under them for modesty (I'm going to be climbing ladders in the back room, it's relatively quiet back there and odds are low I'd flash someone but the chance is there) that's yet another layer. I'll buy a pair to try out and they should be okay if my managers aren't actually alright with my malicious compliance, lol.
