Check out this group's How To Wear A Kilt guide, where people with this experience share their tips and hints.

Here are a few tips...
  • I agree obcar, I can put up with stockings pushed round the ankles but a kilt drooping at half mast puts me off. Also long sloppy t-shirts or shirts look dreadful.
  • Should you find youself sitting in the front row of a group photograph, be very vareful. Even with your knees close together the camera flash can reach the top of your thighs and all - whatever all is - will be revealed!
  • The main tip I can offer is to make sure you do not wear your kilt too low. Nowadays it seems the showing of knee is taboo??
