How to wear a kilt
Highlandwear is steeped in tradition and full of little details. We know it can be tricky to get right so we've put together guides on how to wear a kilt for formal and informal occasions.
TRADITION
The history of the kilt
Kilts and tartan have cemented themselves in the minds of people all over the world, as something inherently Scottish, a symbol of belonging and identity and a head turning way to dress.
The kilt alternative
A kilt not for you? How about trews?
