SCOTS have been left in stitches after a tradesman was spotted hard at work – sporting an unusual fashion choice.
The unidentified bloke – who appeared to be a joiner – was spotted on the street yesterday wearing hi-vis Highland fashion as he worked.
Wearing a kilt in the same colour one would expect to see on vests or jackets in construction yards across the country, the tradesman was spotted by one passing pedestrian.
Scots online have since gone wild for the unique workwear, coining him a member of the “MacNeon” clan – but simultaneously hoping he doesn’t climb scaffolding anytime soon.
The image of the workie shows him at work on the street, bending down to pick something up while working outside a shop.
He appears to have been measuring and cutting wood when he was photographed by a pedestrian.
Wearing an eye-catching neon green kilt complete with reflective stripes and numerous pockets for tools, the man stands out starkly against any colleagues he’s with.
The workie paired his highland workwear with a navy shirt and tan workman’s boots to complete the look.
Scots found the man’s unique workplace outfit hilarious and were quick to crack light-hearted jokes about his hi-vis kilt.
The image of the workie’s kilt was shared to social media yesterday with the caption: “This hi-vis kilt.”
It has since received over 2,100 likes and more than 85 comments from Scots social media users left in stitches by the bizarre outfit.
One user joked: “Hope he’s not a scaffolder.”
Another wrote: “Proud member of the MacNeon Clan.”
A third said: “As subcontractors we enquired to the local council about the possibility of wearing these in the summer around 10 years ago.
“Unfortunately, we were denied due to health and safety.”
Another quipped: “Looks a bit like Quentin Tarantino.”
A fifth replied: “Call them “Safety Scots” and put them in the shops for Americans to buy.”
