First kilt. High on the waist?

[MacMillans son]

With the caveat "everything I learned about wearing the kilt I learned here from those with lots of experience". NOT to say I am a model of perfect kilt wearing, just a recent photo to support Jocks description. I'm the fellow on the left.



And I will be the first to admit, wearing an unbifurcated garment that high on the waist and showing that much leg below does take some getting used to. If that was not true, we would not see so many men with the kilt covering their knees and their hose pulled all the way up to meet it. I would council you to wear the kilt as it is traditionally worn and get used to it. Do resist all temptation to succumb to any desire to "cover up".

Carry on!

I'll fully agree with this statement. If this is your first time wearing a kilt, it might feel too high at the knee and too "revealing" when worn at the proper height. To my eye at least the top of your kilt is not too high, remember that the military kilts are sitting even higher on the ribcage than yours is. Get the proper height at the knee, and let the top rest where it will.

This all reminds me of a post I made sometime back. In a poll topic about where you let the bottom edge of your kilt fall, I was rather curious as to how the various answers (above the knee, mid-knee, below the knee) related to people's ages.
