Today, the kilt is worn on all sorts of occasions and sports events. There was a women’s version of kilt known as the arisaid. Women and men were seen wearing them on mainstream media and in fashion shows. With the rising popularity of kilts, the sense of authenticity and correct style also developed.

Kilts were worn for ordinary purposes in British times rather than reserved for special occasions, said to be the only national costume of that era. The traditional kilt has no pockets, so a sporran made of leather or fur is attached to serve the purpose. The sporran was once attached directly to the belt; now it normally hangs on a chain just below the buckle.

Women and girls weren’t traditionally fond of the kilt, they sometimes wore ankle-length skirts with a tartan sash instead. Tartan itself was a sign of peace and prosperity. Today Scotland Clothing has become the national symbol of their clan.
