Profound Comfort

This is actually one of the many original reasons that kilts were designed and worn when they originated. Hot days are made more bearable because you are more comfortable and have more breathing room, so to speak.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it weird to wear a kilt if you are not at a wedding?

Less than most first-timers expect. In Scotland kilts appear at games, matches and festivals as well as formal events, and elsewhere a plain casual kilt reads as unusual clothing rather than costume. The reaction people fear is mostly imagined; the common experience is curiosity and compliments rather than mockery.

What if it is windy?

This is the practical worry worth planning for, and the answer is weight. A heavier kilt with more yards of cloth hangs down and stays put; a light, thin one does not. Wear underwear, and if it is genuinely blowing, a kilt pin on the front apron adds useful weight at the corner.

How do you sit down in a kilt?

Smooth the back pleats down with one hand as you sit so you sit on the pleats rather than crushing them forward, and slide the sporran round to your hip. Keep your knees together. Once you have done it twice it stops being something you think about.

Do you need Scottish ancestry to wear one?

No. Kilts are worn worldwide by people with no Scottish connection, and Scots generally take it well. If you have no clan claim, a universal tartan such as Black Watch or a plain casual kilt sidesteps the question entirely. What causes offence is treating it as fancy dress, not wearing it.

What is the easiest kilt to start with?

A plain casual or utility kilt in a solid colour. It costs less than a full tartan kilt, needs no clan decision, attracts less attention while you get used to it, and works with clothes you already own. If you find you wear it, a traditional tartan kilt is the natural second purchase.
