Question 13 Do Modern Kilts follow the same rules as Traditional Highland Ones?
Question 13 Do Modern Kilts follow the same rules as Traditional Highland Attire?
No. Modern kilts (such as Utilikilts, R Kilts, etc.) are their own thing. One can certainly take inspiration from traditional highland attire (like a simple styled modern jacket cut along the lines of a traditional Argyll one) but following it too closely doesn’t really work and creates an incongruous look with a modern kilt. If you really want to wear Argyll jackets with silver/chrome diamond buttons, flashes, fancy sporrans, etc. then please stick to traditional looking kilts. Being such a new fashion there really aren't any set rules for modern kilts but one should try to come up with an entire outfit where all elements all work together.
