“The devil is in the details,” right?
Well the FUN can also be in the details and we assume that is why we were asked about what part of a kilt outfit do gents most often forget to give adequate attention. Is it the kilt pin? The Flashes and Kilt Hose? Sporran leather? Tweed jacket and vest?
The answer MAY SURPRISE YOU! ;)

My hardest was the full formal hardware and leather matching. Black leather is easy to get right. My hardest was the metal hardware. My hand stitched tartan (family heirloom) looks amazing with gold tones and feels quite a bit muted with silvers. Finding the right kilt pin to fit the style took a few months. However, I barely ever wear that one unless it's with that specific tartan. It was originally an oversized lapel or hat pin that was modified to fit the style (late 1800s, early 1900s). Most of my kilt pins aren't anything traditional and some are downright out of place unless you understand my humor. My favorite: "Office Space: Piece of Flair" button.

Combat boots. You can't go wrong with combat boots.

As a Scottish person I detest seeing combat boots with a kilt. Really spoils the look

@richardwhite3924 Год назад

As far as shirts go, I tend to wear collar-less "grandfather" style linen or flannel shirts on a normal day. Mostly a solid color - white, black, tan, red, grey, blue. I only wear a shirt with a collar if it is more formal and I feel I need to be wearing a tie

@propyro85 Год назад

I'm a huge sucker for kilt pins, it's probably the least important aspect of wearing a kilt that I enjoy the most. But I am weird, so that follows.

The part that was the hardest was the shoes… I have owned a few pairs of ghillie brogues over the years and none of them fit my wide feet… So inevitably I accepted that wearing my kilt meant hurting my feet and dealing with blisters. I gave up on the ghillies and found some leather balmoral brogue boots EEE width in Black & Brown and those have become my goto kilt footwear. I wish I found them 20 years ago.

Shoes are a tough part. My band wears ghillies as a standard. However, my feet can't take it in parade. So, standard brogues/wing tips. Others rip the tongue out of a pair of New Balance blacks and put in the long strings. BTW if you're dressed in Montrose, wear the buckle brogues. If not, dial it back, please.

Finally being able to get my Duncan tartan (ancient). I have my grandfather's Duncan tie, but it has been a long time coming in being able to get the Duncan kilt.

@SeanPaulNotTheSinger Год назад

Kilt pins are the interesting ones for me. I very rarely wear them, unless I'm going to be in a full and formal event. I wear kilts every day, whether I'm skiing, riding my Onewheel, or coaching Little League, and often I'm not interested in the possible event that something on my thigh is going to stab me if I fall or am bumped for some reason. As for the sneakers discussion item, I agree with not wearing kilt hose with them... I compromise with baseball socks. Long, don't need flashes to keep them up, and also don't look out of place with sneakers.

@WWIIREBEL Год назад

My typical casual...i wear a Black watch kilt with black socks/hose and a black t-shirt. In fall/winter i wear similar with a button shirt/tie and a sweater when too cold.Footwear...i wear a-typical black Ammo boots,but not with the hobnails/heel/toe plates.Also have pairs in brown,lol.

@gwdancer Год назад

I love the details, though I definitely don't overdo it, and I do lean into simplicity over all. I have three kilt pins that I love. One is a WW1 era officer's pin, one is my grandfather's grouse foot, which is in great shape, but is a bit tiny for my taste, and the third is a jeweled basket-hilt claymore that I paid too much for, but it is delightful.

@SantoSer Год назад

shirts- I default to henleys often. I'm mostly in the "pub" category, I've never dressed up formal in a kilt. Shoes are hard because I'm 4E and you just can't get comfortable regular shoes. custom chukkas, custom "faire" boots. and yeah, I've done sandals. the biggest problem right now? I'm in the phoenix region of AZ and this is the only place I've been in the past decade where I've seen no one wearing a kilt, ever. St Patrick's Day I saw 4 (not counting me) between 2 large parking lot pub events. so, hundreds of people. just frikkin weird.

@lawrencekearney9857 7 месяцев назад

... I will offer that it looks like you're wearing a British military jumper. I don't know if it is a "thing" but I wore one I found in a surplus bin in the US while in the UK (Scotland) seeing friends and some acquaintances that were ex-military enquired if it was a military jumper and sighed a bit when I said yes. British for "oh, my". Soooo I don't wear it there anymore :-) .

I debated the color because I have no connection to a clan. I selected grey as that would be a basic color that any other color would go well with. It turned out to be Clan Hamilton Grey as my selection.

I know this video is old but I really sweated over kilt hose. What color? is there a style? How am I going to match with shirts I own? There were questions.

@jonlilley2832 10 месяцев назад

I always agonize over my shoe choices - or severe lack thereof now that I'm not in a band. I have dance gillies, but they have no sole to speak of, but I like the shoes themselves and work well with the kilt. Where can I get gillies with soles? Or something like a black running flat? Black or brown please.

I have never worn flashes with my kilt hose and I'm NOT sure if this is wrong even if wearing it casually? My goal is build my kilt accessories to double from casual too dress casual (I wear a hunting Tartan) as I don't expect to be invited to a formal event that necessitates a prince charlie though would like to pair a highland green tweed vest & jacket to wear it as a coordinated ensemble.

@TadTheTinker Год назад

Never heard a rule broken for not wearing flashes. More recommended for more formal occasions but still not mandatory. When I am going casual, I will take my flashes off the elastic and just put the elastic on the sock. And that is only if I am concerned to socks may sag.

@earthtoc.j Год назад

I never knew that those were called tattersall shirts. My sister and I always just call them graph paper shirts

@PhilipCrichton 3 месяца назад

Shoes may be a perennial problem because so few good options are available so you fall back on what's in the closet. Ghillie brogues may be traditional but they are downright ugly. Low shoes in general all look terrible with hose. Might as well be wearing loafers (ugh). With hose, footwear that rise smoothly and cover the ankles are needed, and to that I point to the oft mentioned combat boots. Those are fine but a bit clunky. Of late I have seen more "ghillie boots" which look like wing tips but cover the ankles and snug to the leg creating a smooth line from sole to leg.

Check out the “Galloway tartans.” It’s a district tartan. Galloway is a region administered as part of Dumfries and Galloway. It might give you a geographical connection.

+USAKiltsOfficial *Thanks for the stylist perspective.* Concur on the shirt being the most overlooked part of a coordinate; shoes being the second most overlooked. I'm sat with my existing MARLOW👑WHITE® long-sleeve and Blauer® short-sleeve; a Tweed vest in Lovat blue and matching hose, plus maroon flashes and Windsor should furnish a five-yard in German Heritage satisfactorily.
