When one thinks of Scottish Dress and tradition, it is likely that the very first thing that will come to mind will be the kilt, as it is perhaps the most famous garment to come out of Scotland. Undoubtedly, the kilt is a very important part of Scottish tradition and culture, trousers or trews are every bit important, especially tartan trews. Tartan trews first came to be around in the 1530s, it allows Scottish men to express their Scottish heritage and pride without having to only wear kilts and were quite popular.

  • Traditional trews are tight around the lowers legs and loose around the upper leg and abdomen. Unlike other modern trews, which is cut straight (Horizontally or Vertically) on the cloth, on the diagonal bias.
  • Additionally, it provides a traditional look because nowadays trews are back in full glory and can be worn by any Scotsmen in the chilly days of cold winter or as a style in the modern age. 
  • They are a nice, traditional alternative for someone who doesn’t want to wear kilts to an event but would still like to reflect their Scottish Heritage by wearing a traditional outfit.

Military-Style Scottish Trews

One of the most commonly seen trews come in the form of the military-style. These trews are very similar to the fishtail-style Scottish Trews, but there is one main difference between the two.

  • The Military Trews have an appearance that makes them look seamless and sleek and offers a more sophisticated and immaculate look that is best suited in environments of strict dress such as the military.
  • The pattern on the inside seam will always appear to be so perfectly matched that it will look as if there is nothing holding these two ends together and that it is instead made from a solid piece of fabric.

Fishtail Back Tartan Pants

Fishtail back tartan trew is another type of most easily recognizable styles of military tartan trews, made to be worn with Prince Charlie Jacket. It’s quite dressy, sophisticated and ideal for formal occasions such as weddings and other such ceremonies.

Argyll Tartan Trews

Argyll Tartan Trews are a more traditional trews type, that often made to look like standard suit pants that are known for their sheer versatility. They are a great choice for those who aren’t sure which trews to wear on which occasion. The difference between these two is that the trews tend to sit higher on the waist than standard suit trousers. This makes the measurement of the outside leg anywhere between two or three inches longer than standard trousers.

What is Scottish Trews?

Trews are, essentially, highlander clothing to express Scottish pride outside the range of the traditional kilts. Contrary to the straight-cut modern trews, traditional trews are cut at a precise 45-degree angle. Therefore, the structure is tight around the lower half while losing upon the abdomen and upper legs. Few garments exhibit such an inextricably blended Scottish highlander heritage as do the trews. 

What do you wear with tartan trews?

Tartan trews are seemingly easier to inculcate in an outfit with a sound knowledge of basic clan tartans. The more versatile prints such as Argyll or Fishtail tartans are ideal for formal clothing. Traditionally, a Prince Charlie jacket does well in such circumstances. A casual tweed jacket, on the other hand, ideally accompanies most prints on all occasions.

Do you wear a belt with tartan trews?

Whether or not to include a belt with a Tartan trews depends on your choice of tartan. For instance, fishtail trews mostly comes equipped with braces, therefore eliminating the need for a belt. On the contrary, the Argyll trewsis traditionally fabricated with a 3-inch waistband, making them ideal to be paired up with a belt. One crucial thing in this regard is never to use a belt in combination with a waistcoat.
