So you want to wear a kilt!! Let us help you step by step on how to wear the highland dress outfit First of all put on your shirt (that was easy!) Now pull on your hose (socks). Hose and flashes. Adjust the garters around the bottom of your knee making sure the flashes are on the outside of the leg. (Some have been known to wear them on the inside - honest!!) Turn the socks down over the garters then double back up, so that the top of your socks should be three fingers below the bone at the side of your knee, leaving part of the flashes still showing. (Your doing well!). The ghillie shoes. (Yes the laces should be that long!) Twist the laces around each other five times so that they sit tightly on top of the ankle. Take the laces around the back of the ankle and cross over once, bring them back to the front and tie as normal at the front of the ankle or at the side The kilt! (Just what you've been waiting for!) Put the kilt around you with the pleats at the back. Take the strap on the right hand side, slide it through the slot in the kilt on the left hand side and secure the buckle. Take the remaining strap over to your right and secure firmly. Your kilt should sit just below the rib cage. Your kilt pin should be on the outer apron of the kilt at the bottom right hand side (don't worry we have done that for you) Ok, nearly there!! The sporran. Place the straps around the back and secure. The sporran is worn just below the belt (if wearing one) or just below the groin area. The space between the belt and sporran should be about the width of your hand. The belt. (This is optional) put on the belt and adjust to size. Tie, Prince Charlie jacket & waistcoat - you're looking good!! Sgian dubh - (that's the little knife!) If your left handed it goes down your left sock, if your right handed - yes you've cracked it!!
Enjoy your day!! Thank you for choosing Burnside Kilt company
