What To Wear Under Your Kilt

Buying a new kilt is a really important investment

, as you will want to look your best whenever you wear it, especially as you're likely to get lots of attention. The key thing to bear in mind is that some tartans are only available in made to measure kilts. For those with popular surnames or those who are happy with the general and very popular tartans like Black Watch and Royal Stewart there is also the option of a Polyviscoise Kilt.

Then you will need to choose your jacket and accessories: having both as well as a range of accessories will allow you to put together a few different looks, especially if you are going to be wearing a kilt at lots of different functions, some formal, some casual.

This week the issue of what to wear under you kilt hit the headlines again, hopefully the information below will give you food for thought and help you to make the all important decision of whether to bare or not.

Brian Wilton of the Scottish Tartan's Authority raised the issue of what to wear or not to wear under you kilt. For Mr Wilton the issue is one of common sense and hygiene 'the idea that you are not a real Scot unless you are bare under your kilt should be thrown into the same wastepaper basket as the idea that you're not a real Scot unless you put salt on you porridge' he continues

'Common sense and decency suggest that for the majority of occasions one should wear under the kilt what one would wear under a pair of trousers' . He points to the issue of hygiene that companies who hire kilt have faced, with some companies insisting underwear is worn under their hire kilts

But others feel strongly that not wearing anything part of traditional approach, Former Formula One driver David Coulthard insists 'I've been wearing kilt since I was a little boy and will continue to wear my kilts in the time-honoured fashion. There is nothing childish or unhygienic about it.'

Supporters of the commando approach point out that 'The tradition of no underwear being worn was a stipulation of Scottish military regulation

Jamie McGrigor, MP for the Highlands and Islands points to one of the practical reasons for wearing underwear 'I have normally worn underwear with my kilt. In the West Highlands, midges can mount alarming and unexpected attacks on so-called true Scotsman' Ouch!

the tennis sensation wasn't able to follow tradition at the recent wedding of his brother.

"My brother told me to wear something underneath. so even though I didn't want to he insisted. It was very cold that day."

you'll need to consider comfort, warmth and decency I think either option works. I love the Scottish traditional dress because it is unique - and not wearing anything underneath judt adds to that!
