Where do you wear your kilt?

[Nik]

I wear my traditional style kilts at my navel. This is because I have a long torso, and with my kilt there the bottom falls it's right at my knee. However with my contemporary kilt, it's at my belt line (pants waist), but that's where it's designed to sit.

So to answer your question, it depends.

Well AJ, in reality the navel is a secondary marker for what is referred to as your "natural waist" the point where your body bends when you lean to either side. Depending on how you are built, that point may be at, above, or below you navel. As others have stated, it typically lies somewhere around the level of the navel, but where YOU bend may different then where I do. Make sense? So if the kilt is already made to fit you, it will be important to know where the kilt maker measured you so that the kilt sits where it was designed to sit. Hopefully that too ends up so that the bottom of the kilt sits above your knee!
