Why do Scottish Men wear Kilts?

When it comes to kilts for those on the outside looking in, at first glance, they may simply think that they are only skirts. But just as the kilt is not a skirt, there are other myths surrounding it that many people who do not personally wear them may believe, and many truths that they may not know. Check out these quick facts on kilts to fine-tune your knowledge before your next trip to Scotland or to your first Highlands Games.

kilts for men

Kilts have not always been a part of scottish culture !

While the movie Braveheart may have led you to believe that kilts have been around since the 13th century, that is simply not true. The film got it wrong and made people think they had been around for longer than they were. In fact, first the great kilt was worn in the 16th century, meaning that they are still a fairly new cultural item.

There is nothing beneath a Kilt !

That is not always true. Especially during the chilly months of winter and fall, men in kilt will wear undergarments: however, there is a phenomenon called the True scotsman that is simply a euphemism for men who wear nothing beneath them, just like rumor suggests.

Anyone Can Wear A Kilt ?

Some people believe that kilts are only to be donned by bagpipe-playing men and Royal Guards, but that is not true. Kilts are able to be worn by anyone. They can be worn on the street, to graduations, to weddings or any other occasions you can imagine. There are even womens kilts that are designed to be worn by women.

A Good Kilt & Accessories will come at a hefty price !

If you want something high quality, you have to be willing to pay for it. Companies might offer kilts for under 100$, but those are not actual kilts and won’t be well made. A good casual kilt is made out of pure acrylic wool, which of it-self is expensive. Not to mention that there are other accessories like scottish kilt socks, kilt pouch, kilt flash, scottish jacket, scotland bagpipes and so much more. That can really run up the price, but if you want a good kilt, it is going to be worth it.

Scottish Bagpipes

Scottish kilts is more than a fashion statement !

The kilt is typically worn in a tartan pattern, these scottish kilts for sale often stems from the family, or clan, that the Scotsman is from. It is a way to represent a person’s heritage and culture. But beyond that, the kilt is practical. It was once worn by warriors because it afforded them greater ease of movement, and at night when it got cold, they could unwrap it and sleep under it like a blanket. There are some truths to the myths about kilts, and there are some that are just that: myths.
