How To Wear Kilt

If you have never seen a kilt, there are probably a lot of other questions that come with how to wear a kilt. Do the pleats go in the front or the back? Does the sporran sit on your hip or should it hang from the front or back?

A kilt is easy to wear the wrong way and you do not want to be that guy who does not know how to wear a kilt. Whether you have bought a kilt for your big day or are wearing a kilt to pitch some hay, we want to make sure you look your best so here is a detailed step-by-step instruction on how to wear a kilt:

Put on underwear
If you own the kilt you are cleared hot to go commando; if you do not own the kilt, aka you rented/borrowed it, then boxer/briefs are mandatory–that’s a direct order.

Put on your socks
You are free to wear any socks you like: ankle socks, pineapple patterned socks, and if you’re feeling particularly adventurous–pantyhose. On formal occasions, knee-high socks are traditionally worn with flashes. 

Put on matching flashes
Flashes should be made of the same tartan to help unite a kilt outfit or of a single solid color present in the kilt to tone down the plaid. They are worn two inches below the top and then the wearer folds over the top of the sock to both hide the flash band and to help keep the socks up.

Put on your shoes
As with socks, shoes worn with kilts can vary, but traditionally Ghillie Brogues are worn with kilts. These shoes have long laces and can be tied in a variety of ways, but the key is that they are tightly fastened and the laces are not touching the floor. 

Put on your shirt
A kilt is wonderful because it can be dressed up and dressed down. The formality of the kilt is the formality of the shirt. For the gentlemanly look, you’ll want a tuxedo shirt and a Marauder Leather Kilt.

For a more rugged Highland warrior look, you can opt for a tight t-shirt or even take a leaf out of William Wallace’s book and merely adorn your upper half with paint.

Put on the kilt
Hold the kilt like you would a towel after a shower: pleats at the back, the single strap in your right hand, and the double straps in your left hand. Next, draw your right hand across your torso and slip the single strap through the hole on your left hip and fasten the strap through the buckle. Finally, bring your left-hand side across your torso and fasten the two straps through the two buckles and your right hip.

Put on your belt
Typically there are 2-4 belt loops around the top of the kilt. Thread the belt through your belt loops like any standard pair of pants, buckle at the center of the front.

Put on your sporran
The sporran is thread through the belt loops and hangs roughly one hand’s width below the belt, centered at the front. 

Complement with kilt accessories:
A Balmoral Bonnet or a Glengarry Bonnet, a sgian dubh or a ceremonial mace, or perhaps a nice plaid. Any idea what we are talking about? Check out a page of kilt accessories and Marauder Leather Kilt.
