5-yard, 13 oz. wool kilt, sewn in Scotand. Farqarson tartan. Railway station, Goslar, Germany.
Let’s be realistic. Most likely, you cannot wear a kilt 24/7, even if you want to. Probably your job should be an obstacle. Due to conventions or dress code. Accordingly, the kilt, like shorts, must primarily be something for your spare time. Here, however, you have free rein, provided you have your spouse’s support.
If so, you have 52 weekends a year, making 104 possible days. Add to this, holidays and other day’s off, and you have a potential exceeding a third of a year. Just because you consider your kilt a casual-first thing and not an event-dependent phenomenon, like most kilt-wearing Scots.
If you, like me, live about 56 degrees north - same as Edinburgh - you’ll, in spring and summer, have these fantastic light summer nights, making it possible to wear your kilt for hours in daylight before and after work. Out in the open or in town. And on business trips, before breakfast and meetings. What is more fascinating than seeing a city waking up?

When in a kilt, stand up to it, whatever type of kilt is in question. It has been your decision, your choice. Never try to excuse yourself for wearing it. Never look guilty or like you have a bad conscience. It is different, yes, but certainly not a crime. Wear it with confidence.
Traditional kilt, 5-yard, wool, Farquharson tartan.Kilt Yes, but how about other skirted garments, in other words skirts?
As mentioned on the introductory page, the focus of this website is kilts and how to wear them, but that's not all.
It also embraces the broader theme of a distinctly 'masculine' appearance.
With this in mind, the next page will explore skirts for men.
If you know, a skirt could never come in question for you, don't spend time on the next page and go directly to the gallery pages with hundreds of pictures.
But could you imagine situations where a skirt might be preferable over a kilt, or it just come into question for even more variety? If so, you might find the next page worth a look.
Could you as a man wear a skirt? Under circumstances you can. Dedicated man-skirts are on the market, you can have a skirt designed and made for you or you might...
