kilts
Pleated Scottish garments
Kilts are knee-length skirts with pleated backs, traditionally worn by men in Scotland and Ireland.
The Scottish kilt is made of tartan wool, with the pattern identifying clan affiliation.
Outside the Highlands, kilts appear mainly at weddings, formal events, and cultural celebrations: He wore the family tartan kilt to his sister's wedding.
