Movember, short for Moustache November, encourages men from around the world to grow moustaches to raise awareness about men’s health issues, including prostate and testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. The annual event aims to spark conversations about men’s health issues and initiatives.
But Movember fashion isn’t just about growing a Mo and sparking conversations; it’s also about raising money for research and advocacy programs, and ultimately improving the lives of men everywhere. This is a time for unity, education and action, all to address men’s health issues that are often overlooked.
At Ozkilts, we are proud to support Movember by offering the exclusive Movember Utility Kilt, a stylish and comfortable garment that not only makes a fashion statement but also shows solidarity with the Movember cause. To show our support, we grow our Mo’s and beards and allocate 10% of Ozkilts’ Movember Utility Kilt sales for donation to Movember.com.
In this style guide, we’ll explore different ways to incorporate this unique kilt into your wardrobe, helping you make a bold statement and at the same time help further the cause of supporting men’s health while looking your best. Let’s dive into some tips for rocking this unique piece with flair and confidence!
Colour Coordination: Elevating Your Movember Utility Kilt Style
Before we dive into styling, let’s explain why you should pick the Movember Utility Kilt.
1. Confidence Boost: It’s not your run-of-the-mill piece of garment, the kilt exudes confidence. When you wear it, it’s as if you’re saying, “I care about men’s health, and I’m not afraid to stand out.”
2. Versatility: It is versatile. Pair it with a graphic tee for a casual look, or dress it up with a crisp shirt and boots. Perish the thought that kilts are limited to the Highlands or playing bagpipes. It’s a chameleon—ready for any occasion.
3. Comfort Reigns: Kilts are all about freedom. They have no restrictive waistbands or suffocating seams. It lets you move, groove and conquer the world without hindrance.
When it comes to rocking your Movember fashion, colour coordination is key to creating a cohesive and stylish ensemble. To achieve a well-coordinated outfit, consider the colour palette of the kilt itself.
The kilt comes in black and features a vibrant red tartan on its box-style pleats, choose neutral tones for your shirt and jacket and let the kilt take centre stage. Alternatively, you can pick up accent colours in the kilt and incorporate them into your accessories, such as a matching tie or perhaps a pocket square.
Now let’s dive deeper into more tips to ensure your ensemble is cohesive, stylish, and ready to turn heads:
1. Contrast is your friend: Being a black kilt with a red tartan accent, you can pair it with any light-coloured shirt. Or you can opt to go maverick and choose bold-coloured tops perhaps a rich burgundy to create a striking contrast.
2. Texture and Layering Matters: Mix different textures within the same colour range to add depth without overwhelming the eye. Experiment with layering by pairing your kilt with solid-coloured jumpers or a vest for a polished look that balances the boldness of the kilt.
3. Accessorise Thoughtfully:
- Belts and Shoes: Match your belt and shoes to the kilt colour. Black leather, for instance, works well with darker kilts.
- Sock Game: Don’t underestimate the power of socks. Fun patterns or solid colours that echo your kilt’s hues can add flair to your outfit.
4. Movember Moustache Magic:
- Moustache Pins: Since it’s Movember, consider adding a quirky moustache pin to your lapel or kilt. It’s a playful nod to the cause.
- Tie It In: If you’re wearing a tie, choose one that complements your kilt. A subtle pattern or a solid colour that echoes your kilt’s undertones works wonders.
Remember that you’re making a statement with your kilt. Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns. However, keep it cohesive by sticking to a consistent colour scheme.

Accessorising with a Purpose: Elevate Your Style
Accessories play a crucial role in elevating your style from ordinary to extraordinary. Accessories are the secret sauce that takes your Movember Utility Kilt ensemble from good to unforgettable. Let’s look at how well-chosen accessories can elevate your style and create a bold statement:
1. The Mighty Belt
- Purpose: A belt isn’t just about keeping your kilt in place; it’s a style anchor. Choose one that complements your kilt, whether made from leather, canvas, or webbing. Might we suggest going for the Ozkilts Utility Kilt Belt? An Ozkilts kilt with an Ozkilts belt? Groundbreaking. 😉
- Buckle Up: Choose a chunky buckle with intricate detailing. It’s like a mini work of art on your waist.
2. Hats Off!
- Hat Magic: A fedora, a flat cap, or even a beanie—pick your poison. Hats add character and flair. Plus, they’re practical for those chilly Movember days.
- Match Game: Coordinate your hat with your kilt or go for contrast. A tweed cap with your kilt? Yes, please!
3. Socks That Pop
- Sock it to ‘Em: Don’t underestimate the power of socks. Go wild with patterns or stick to solid colours that echo your kilt hues. It’s a subtle detail that packs a punch.
- Kilt Flash: When you sit down, your socks peek out. Make sure they’re worth the peek.
4. Lapel Pins and Brooches
- Movember Moustache: Since it’s Movember, a quirky moustache pin on your lapel is a conversation starter and a nod to the cause.
- Vintage Vibes: A vintage-inspired brooch adds elegance. Bonus points if it has a tiny moustache motif.
5. Cargo Pockets
- Functional Flair: Cargo pockets are a style statement. Your Ozkilts kilt comes with them and you can detach them if you choose to. However, their function can’t be overlooked because it’s where you can stash your essentials–phone, wallet, keys, and a Movember pamphlet, perhaps?
Accessories aren’t extras, they’re essential ingredients in your Movember fashion recipe. So go and accessorise with purpose.
