Can You Wear the Kilt Every Day?

What Does It Take to Wear the Kilt Every Day? Can you wear the kilt full time if you only own one? How do you make the transition from wearing your kilt only for special occasions to wearing it all the time? Lots of gents do, of course. The key, as Rocky explains, is in having the right accessories to make it work. Even with just three or four kilts of varying styles and quality you can become a full-time kilted man if you have a good assortment of shirts, kilt hose, sporrans and other items to “mix it up” each day.
Remember that traditionally men only ever owned one or just a few kilts - even if they wore them all the time. The kilt stands alone as a garment. The kilt is more like a favorite jacket than a pair of slacks. That is, you do not have to change it out every single day (assuming it is clean) the way you do a shirt or pants. This is partly tradition, partly the fact that a good wool kilt is very durable and resists stains and odors.
Where you work can make a difference. For instance you may want more accessory options if you work in an office vs. if you work outdoors or from home. Regardless, in time you can collect plenty of kilt accessories to keep your look fresh.

I wear one to work almost daily during the warmer months. There is a picture of me wearing it in the local news once

@brucegraham4332 2 года назад

What you need to kilt up full time? Confidence!

@lorduggae 2 года назад

I wear the kilt at least once a week. I am known as the "guy in the kilt". I grocery shop on Fridays while kilted, but if I go in another day I sometimes get comments about NOT wearing it from the regular cashiers. "What no kilt today??"

@Aphotic_One 2 года назад

Yeah i get that when i stop wearing them for colder season

I'm currently in the process of buying my first kilt (tartan utility kilt) for the upcoming Renaissance festival. I've always been known as the guy who wears vests and bowties every day and I'm seriously thinking about making the kilt part of my daily wardrobe. I'm really excited to give it a try

@AlexanderTalks 2 года назад

I have four utili-kilts that I rotate. Two are tartaned, one is a pure navy blue, and one is camouflaged. I basically wear a kilt every day (unless I am motorcycling, obviously). I wear basic shirts, t-shirts, henley's, and even button down, but no patterns, except with the navy kilt. I normally just wear sandals. And since they are utili-kilts, I don't need a sporran.

@karlr750 2 года назад

Don't forget the kilt hose. I've purchased them for $10 to $35 per pair, and a change in color can really affect the look of an outfit. Used day sporrans (in black and brown) can be purchased on eBay for very reasonable prices. Just make certain that they were made in Scotland (to ensure quality construction) and that they're adult-sized (to avoid getting one that's comically small).

@maxwellfan55 2 года назад

Agree. Right colour hose pulls/tones it all in. Charcoal goes with most, white is universally clashing, bright and awful. Yea, I also bought a tiny "boys" sporran by mistake once, makes a nice purse? Maybe!

@alexselby349 2 года назад

A few PV kilts around 4 helps, then decent ones for best / events. Tweed waistcoats, jackets, regular Jersey or sweater, hose or shooting socks, boots or shoes 👞 and a thick skin, as there will be lots of "where's your bagpipes?" Questions or snarky "nice skirt" from less cultured folk 🤓

@timothycook7388 6 месяцев назад

When they ask "where's your bagpipes?" Tell them, under my kilt, and when they ask "what are you wearing under there?" Tell them "your wife's lipstick"

@douglasw.plummer8138 2 года назад

I'll have to wait and see how it really works out. I think I have a plan. USA Kilts just really needs to get it made first.

Purple Shirt Thursday is a thing. (It means you disagree with management, but you're here anyway.) Long explanation, but observed by many. Remember: Thursday is Thor's Day.

@dancoad2250 2 года назад

I can't wear a kilt everyday as it's not practical for my job, but I like to kilt up in my Cornish national kilt on the weekends. I usually wear mine with some sort of punk t shirt and combat boots with a peaky blinder hat and just a plain sporran. Also just got a Cornish hunting tartan kilt as I wanted more (definitely caught the bug now) and will be taking that one for a test drive later.

@maxwellfan55 2 года назад

For casual I think it's fine to mix leathers, ie. belt, sporran, buckles, shoes as long as it's a mix of black/brown. Not something anyone would pick up on. Maybe for formal it would be different. Otherwise agree. Plain colour T shirt, kilt, tweed jacket is a nice, easy casual look for moderate temperatures.

@richardwhite3924 2 года назад

I wear a kilt pretty much every day except during the New England winters (call me a "wimp" if you will but I wear pants or Clan Lamont trews when there is snow on the ground). I own 9 kilts of different tartans - Clan Lamont Ancient (1 wool, 1 utilikilt), Clan Lamont Modern, Irish National, Royal Stuart, Pride of Scotland, Saint Patrick, New World Celts and a solid Black (5 are utilikilts) but they have been acquired over a 7 year period and not purchased all at the same time. I have 2 vests, three sporrans (my normal day one is a brown leather Rob Roy) and an assortment of kilt socks (black, dark navy blue, green, white). For formal occasions I have an black Argyll suit jacket and matching vest and wear a lace jabot in lieu of a tie. Headgear is either a flat cap or a black Tam with the Clan Lamont crest badge. And, yes, I am known all over my small Cape Cod town as "the guy in a kilt".

@messenger3478 2 года назад

I wear mine a couple times a week. I usually just wear my tartan Utility kilt. I like to change up the top and socks. So far I have 1 day sporran, and it's brown since most of the time the things I go to are casual. I have 2 pairs of kilt hose and flashes, but I usually don't have an opertunity to wear them.

@jockin_around8314 2 года назад

As a proud Scot, the ONLY thing you need to make the transition, is CONFIDENCE. Forget all the “rules” youve heard or been told, rules were brought in to minimise the daily wearing of a kilt. As for “accessories” minimum a belt to hold a sporran, but its not even needed, a sporran is just a fancy for a pouch so really, any belt mounted pouch would give you the same look and feeling. However, since you wont have any pockets, a pouch of some sort would be really useful, unless you want to carry a small backpack. But NEVER sacrifice money that could be used for daily survival, just to fill a wardrobe, if all you have is 1 kilt, and you want to be a full time kilt wearer, just do it! There was a time in history where people could maybe only afford 1 kilt. NEVER worry about what type of tartan it is either, before the clans it used to be, that the colours on a kilt were just a result of the natural materials that were available. If you like the colour of the blackwatch tartan, or Cameron tartan, whether it be, modern, ancient or hunting. It doesnt matter, wear what you like and wear it with pride! And Like i said, the only thing you NEED, is confidence.

I was about to ask this same question! Following for an answer.....I only have a black cotton Utilikilt at the moment and wanting to get my Clan MacDougall tartan in ancient & modern as well. Got to figure out a way to wear it while riding my motorcycle somehow???

@wolfgarconcealment11 Год назад

I spend the majority of my time in SWFL and I have one of theirs. I even competed in it when most athletes use others. My Cousin has bought from a couple companies and recommended them to me. I'm super happy with mine and have worn it once every couple weeks.

@la_old_salt2241 4 месяца назад

You could start with one of their PV kilts and go from there. I'm from Louisiana, so we have a similar climate. I'd limit wool kilts to 13oz cloth for most of the year, but you could try 16oz during the coolest weeks of the year. I just can't say how much wear you'd get out of it during the year in our subtropical climate. Having said that, look how many campaigns the Scottish Regiments in the British Army conducted in the Middle East over the years.

@juancenobio3379 Год назад

I'm not a big guy normal frame but bigger then most I feel kilts give me more room and comfort for my leg Idk pants create an uncomfortable bulge Also I like that my bulge isn't just out there with kilts It's fits rights to my daily comforts I'd really would like to make kilts more common

@InfamousWolf89 2 года назад

you're talking about wearing different colored kilts. Isn't the entire reason for wearing kilts is to promote your clan?

Not exclusively, some have no clan, even in Scotland.

Question: Can one wear hose and kilt with tactical boots? Camel colored or black?

@seamasrigh2162 2 года назад

You can, think Highland Regiments on service, that said an ankle height boot is closer to the WWII Ammo Boot. I have seen knee high moccasins, pirate boots and even cowboy boots (EWWWWWWWWW) These days a lot of the Victorian standards are in the past, especially in the States. I have worn the kilt with Ammo boots and puttees, khaki shirt and the Tam O' Shanter bonnet. Try it out, just remember it's Highland Dress not a costume. Cheers, mate.

@pat1589 Год назад

I would never wear a kilt daily. I look at it as a nice special piece of clothing. I'd find it insulting to wear to the grocery store, that's a bit naff. I wear black watch in pipe band. Hunting menzies, which is my own on special occasions.

@walterscogginsakathesilver6246 2 года назад

If you wanna get your first. What would you start out with?🦊❤️

@la_old_salt2241 4 месяца назад

I'd say it depends on your local climate. Hotter climate, you might start with a PV kilt. Moderate climate, a 13oz wool kilt. Cooler climate, consider 16oz wool. But it also depends on your own temperature. If you tend to be a bit hot natured, PV and 13oz wool might be more comfortable. If you run cooler 16oz may work for you. Otherwise, go with what you like and adjust from there.

Why do people refer to kilt costume or outfit? It is so not that.

the only true kilt is like the one in the background of your video the one in red plaid ,the modern kilts are not in my opinion,,those are the bastardized english version of the scottish irish welsh clans
