A kilt must not have tartans.

Kilts can also be solid coloured.
And the fabric needs not be wool or PV. Tweed kilts are gaining popularity. Or how about a kilt in a nice camouflage pattern, or denim, or leather?.
They can be in traditional kilt style, or their design can deviate to the extent where they become utility kilts - or skirts.
Many kilt makers or vendors have these kilts in their assortment. Here, I shall simply link to already mentioned vendors if they are also offering these kilts.

Solid kilts are mostly about the same price as equivalent tartan kilts. Tweed kilts shall be more expensive than wool kilts. 'Imported' denim kilts shall often cost more than tartan kilts from the same vendor, whereas 'locally' manufactured denim kilts may be cheaper as their tartan cousins.
Camouflage kilts shall be cheaper, whereas leather kilts, what is to expect, are way more expensive than equivalent kilts made of in wool or PV.

Solid coloured kilts

No doubt, what most people connect with a kilt are the tartans. Probably they more than anything else signalize kilt. But, like just said, tartans are not a must.

Typically, solid kilts are black, but they may also be grey, green, blue, brown, and red.

Paul Henry

Paul Henry is known for making very nice denim kilts. They are around £200 for a 5-yarder.

An example of a denim utility kilt. This one is from Championkilts and I like its detachable pockets. When you need them, attach them; when you can do without them, leave them at home and enjoy a much cleaner design.
The kilt is also available in blue denim, which I think I should prefer, more destinguishing it from 'ordinary' utility kilts, and in a darker indigo blue. Often you have to pay extra for blue denim compared to black, but here you can have it at no extra cost.
