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.

Hello friend. No experience with kilts, but if you're looking for general suggestions, Thai fishermen pants are another alternative clothing to keep cool in the summer. Here in Toronto, nobody bats an eye when I wear them during hot days. They're inexpensive and you can get them in v/a basic colors to match your wardrobe, but the sewing pattern is so simple you could also get someone to make them for you using whatever fabric you want. Here's a example image:
