Anyone can wear a kilt. Most popularly worn by people with Scottish or Celtic ancestry. Celts and Scots have gone worldwide and anyone is welcome to wear the kilt. You can wear the kilt for formal or casual events worldwide.
Many accessories can be worn with a traditional kilt such as sporrans, kilt hose, belt and buckle, kilt pin and a pair of Ghillie Brogues. And don't forget a nice dress shirt and jacket if you're going to a formal event.
The kilt is a cultural icon in Scotland — a knee-length piece of clothing, 8 yards of cloth wrapped round the body, typically made with pure new wool woven tartan.
We believe that everyone should represent their clan for such a special moment in their lives. At Houston Kiltmakers, we thrive in providing all grooms with a kilt they will cherish and remember for years to come. Our kilts are built to last a lifetime.

The kilt came from Scotland in the Highlands, originating before the 16th century, with some inspiration from similar Irish, European and Asian garments as well.
