Do you want to add brutality to your appearance, and at the same time attract many admiring and interested looks of beautiful ladies? Then you need a Scots national skirt. Yes, it sounds unusual. However, remember at least the famous Sir Thomas Sean Connery, who has more than once been called the sexiest man. And he, like a real highlander, loves to appear in public in traditional Scottish vestments. And he looks more than courageous.
Those who say that the Scottish skirt is far from right are far from right. Not at all. The Highlanders at one time exchanged trousers for a piece of woolen cloth wrapped around the waist, for reasons of comfort. The rocky topography, frequent rains, not the southern climate, the abundance of mountain streams - these are the conditions where the kilt originated. Wet pants stuck to his feet, dry for a long time. A dense woolen fabric, picked up by the belt, did not constrain movements, it dried out much faster. And at night, a warm and comfortable blanket turned out to be at hand, wrapped up in which it was possible to spend the night calmly, without clattering teeth from the cold.
It should be noted that there is a large and small Scottish skirt, the name kilt is the same for both versions. What are the differences? Everything is very simple. Small kilt is easier, it is already stitched. It remains only to put it on, gird it and - on the road. But in order to put on a big kilt, you probably need to be born a true inhabitant of the mountains. It is an almost five-meter rectangular piece of fabric. It must be skillfully assembled to get creases. Then fit the belt. These manipulations are produced on the floor. It’s easier then to wrap the kilt around you. You just need to sit in the resulting woolen nest, wrap the fabric around the waist and fasten the belt. The remaining “tail” is thrown over the shoulder.
The Scottish skirt is necessarily complemented with accessories. This is a special kiltpin pin, it is attached to the corner of the outer apron (smell). Its function is to prevent it from swinging open when walking. In front, a sporran clings to a belt. His task is the same - to fix the kilt during movement and wind. A small purse bag, decorated with metal inserts and embossed, presses the fabric, not allowing it to fly freely. You still can not do without the haws. These are knee-length socks, somewhat reminiscent of familiar leggings.
Modern descendants of the highlanders often put on a kilt on holidays or for some important family events. For example, on your own wedding.
But the designers decided to remind everyone that the Scottish skirt is a very stylish and unusually sexy outfit. The first to notice the incredible energy of this outfit was Jean-Paul Gaultier. This
high-fashion bully launched a wave, breaking established stereotypes. Still, men's fashion is very conservative. It took some time for the idea to stop shocking.
But then the American jeans legend “Levis” became interested in the “novelty”. The brand has released updated denim kilts, providing the models with practical portfolio pockets. And men, especially young guys who dared to try the new thing on themselves, confirmed that such clothes are much more convenient than trousers.
Of course, it’s difficult to give up the usual look at the wardrobe. But, you must admit, a gentleman dressed in a kilt does not become more feminine from this. Rather, the opposite.
Well, about what the Scottish skirt hides. Here it is up to you to decide whether you will wear underwear or not. True Highlanders have always despised cowards. You can follow their habits, or you can follow the advice of doctors and still take care of personal hygiene. This is your personal matter.
