Buy Men's Kilts

In Scottish Highland attire, a kilt is a knee-length pleated skirt-like garment worn by men and boys, which originated in the Scottish Highlands in the 16th century. The kilt has been associated with Scottish and Gaelic traditions since the 19th century. Kilts are usually designed with tartan-patterned woolen material. Over the centuries, kilts have evolved from their origins as the "Great Kilt," to a full-body garment that could also be worn to sleep in, to becoming contemporary fashion wear to being worn for various functions. Although the kilts for men represent natural and obvious masculinity, it has a lengthy history of outside influences and deliberate reinterpretations. The Scottish men and non-Scotsmen alike have adopted it as formal and semi-formal clothing, as well as informal everyday-wear since its roots as the basic garb of the Highlanders. The kilt's capacity to remain recognisable while adapting to changing conditions and consumer needs has been critical in sustaining its popularity between generations and, increasingly, worldwide.
