Kilt wearing is a timeless tradition that has experienced a revival of sorts in recent years. A kilt is a versatile, durable, practical and a highly functional piece of clothing.
Modern kilts are made from high quality, breathable fabrics and some designs feature deep pockets or removable cargo pockets for ample storage space. Basically, it’s a great option to wear for any activity you can think of.
As the kilt’s popularity sweeps across the globe, it developed a strong global audience wanting to wear this unique outfit. Subtle changes have been incorporated into its design while maintaining its original structure. It caters to a new consumer base who are not afraid to express their individuality and go against the norm.

The #1 Question We Get… What Do You Wear Under Your Kilt?
For centuries, the question that has stirred amusement and intrigued a lot of people over the centuries is, ‘what do you wear under your kilt?’ This question often plays in the minds of those unfamiliar with kilt culture.
When kilts were worn as part of the Scottish military uniform from the 18th century until it was retired in 1940, wearing underwear was not part of the uniform. It is said that during dress inspections, officers would use a mirror to make sure none of the soldiers were wearing anything under their kilt.
Here’s the deal, it’s not just about getting an answer, what’s more important is about the journey of self-expression and freedom that kilt wearing embodies. And guess what? There’s more than a single straightforward answer to lay this intriguing question to rest.
To address this question, we need to explore various options that kilt-wearers have when it comes to what lies underneath. Wearing a kilt in itself is like a choose-your-own adventure book. Here are the popular options:
1. Traditional Undergarments.
Some kilt enthusiasts prefer keeping things traditional by sporting classic undergarments like boxers or briefs. It’s a default choice since it maintains a sense of familiarity that goes well as if you’re wearing it with your favourite pair of pants.
2. Kilt Liners.
A kilt liner acts as a barrier between your skin and the kilt’s fabric. Wearing kilts made of rougher fabrics makes this option especially useful, especially for those with sensitive skin.
Choosing kilt liners are perfect for those who want to experience the best of both worlds. Kilt liners offer extra comfort and support without compromising the look of a kilt, which is one of the great things about them.
3. Going Commando.
Wearing nothing underneath your kilt is a bold choice, and there are kilt wearers who opt for this option to exude their carefree spirit and confidence. Surprising as it may seem, wearing absolutely nothing underneath is proper if you want to honour heritage.
If you wonder where the expression “going regimental,” which later on is also called “going commando” is, this is where it came about.
Whatever it is you do when wearing your kilt, know that it allows you room to do a lot of exertion and be active. If you want to keep a modicum of modesty, we would recommend for you to wear performance wear underneath.
If you are still wondering why there’s a bit of intrigue surrounding this topic, it’s partly because kilts are so distinctively different from wearing regular pants that it automatically sets off people’s curiosity. However, there is an important factor before you even attempt to satiate your curiosity.
Why It’s Not Always Polite To Ask?
Asking someone what they wear underneath their kilt might seem innocent enough, but on the flip side, depending on how the question is delivered or who is asking, it may come off rude or impolite. Imagine for a moment a stranger comes up to you asking the question. Awkward right? The same principle applies here.
Kilt wearing is steeped in tradition, and what one wears underneath their kilt is a personal choice. Just as we normally wouldn’t ask a person about their intimate apparel underneath their normal wear in everyday conversation, the same courtesy applies to kilt wearers.
Respecting one’s personal boundaries and privacy is the bedrock of good manners. People who wear kilts are embracing a unique aspect of their identity, and that choice merits respect.
So, the next time you are tempted to pose this question, remember that the true appreciation for the kilt extends beyond what the kilt wearer dons underneath it. The question of what one wears underneath their kilt is as varied as the designs of utility kilts out there.
While the question may linger in the back of your mind, perhaps the best course of action to take is to let it remain a mystery, it adds to the allure of seeing someone wearing a kilt. 😉
