Fashion comes and goes but kilt dress is here to stay.
Styling a kilt is all about the occasion.
You can go full traditional with a jacket and tie, or keep it casual with a t-shirt and boots.
Don’t forget key accessories like a sporran and kilt hose, and match your shoes to your look—brogues for formal, boots or even sneakers for casual.
As a symbol of pride of Celtic heritage from Scotland and Ireland, kilt dress is definitely more than just a tartan dress.
While traditional kilt dresses should be knee-high and are pleated only in the back, the fashion world has redesigned this masterpiece with all kinds of modern hues and cutting.
These days, kilt dresses are just incredibly versatile to style.
From a hot schoolgirl look to a preppy sophisticated lady, this tasteful dress just never fails to give out a distinctive glamour to your ensemble.
So ladies, if you are ready to step up your fashion game, here are the 9 outfit combos when it comes to what to wear with a kilt.
1. TEAM KILT CASUALLY IN SUMMER
If you think a kilt can only be worn in winter, well, think again!
These days, you have no problem wear kilt all year round.
For a casual summer look, do a front knot with your T-shirt and team it with a kilt just look full of attitude.
If you think this combo is too contrasting to handle, wearing chunky shoes like combat boots with knee-high socks can help.
Or else, throw on yourself breathable outerwear like a black kimono for a billowy silhouette that can work wonders as well!

2. WEAR KILT SKIRT IN THE FALL SEASON
Want to look chic with minimal effort in the fall?
Just casually half-tuck your slouchy grey high-neck sweater with your brown kilt for an effortless look.
If you want to look more put together, get yourself a monotone scarf that can help elongate your figure from head to toe.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #2:
Prevent button-down shirts from gapping between buttons by using double-sided fashion tape <3
3. SPICE UP YOUR KILT WITH OUTERWEAR
For cool days, layer up your kilt with outerwear is another way to spice up the look.
To keep your ensemble neat and united, opt for the plain jacket in a foolproof way.
But seriously, can we all agree that a black vegan leather biker jacket and the beige kilt skirt together just look – shall I say – IMPECCABLE?
Together with a pair of pointy sock heels, this look is just one of a kind.
But of course, a kilt works for basically everything. Want to dress down the look for a quick coffee catch-up?
A cropped denim jacket can be a handy choice of all time.

4. EMBRACE A PREPPY SCHOOL GIRL LOOK
When it comes to the modern preppy schoolgirl look, it’s just irresistible to me.
I mean, who doesn’t want to look posh and youthful at the same time?
So ladies, if you want to stand out from the crowd, perhaps it’s time to switch out your ordinary plaid mini skirt to the kilt dress.
Trust me, those tiny details can increase the aesthetic tenfold.
Together with a structured oxford shirt and an iconic V-neck fit sweater on top, this look is just a 10/10.

5. PAIR OXFORD SHOES WITH THE KILT DRESS
If you wonder what shoes to wear with a kilt skirt, I’ll tell you it truly depends on your style.
If you want to stay loyal to the posh uniform look, get matchy-matchy with the classy oxford heels.
Basically, anything with retro vibes like Mary Jane, T-strape heels or clogs are the lovely options too.
And if you want to take this look to another level, dust off your patterned thighs for a retro look.
As for the girls who want to style kilt with a modern blend, wearing thigh-high boots are the no-brainer – just leg-flattering and wholly on-trend.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #5:
Stretch tight shoes by wearing them with thick socks and blowing them with a hairdryer!
6. GET BOLD WITH THE MINI KILT SKIRT
If you think kilt skirts are too old school to wear these days, shall I introduce you to the mini-skirts version?
While they are not the most traditional kilt dress, they are truly the hottest ones.
Whether you pair this cutie with a tight turtleneck sweater or a cropped cardigan, you just look sexy even with the simplest look.
With a pair of nude heels, make sure you are mentally prepared for some jealous eyes!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #6:
Quick fix – Brighten yellowed white clothing by soaking in a solution of lemon juice and hot water!
7. STYLE KILT IN THE HIGH STREET ENSEMBLE
As a statement piece, styling a kilt in a chic high-street getup is not much of a challenge.
For an androgynous look, pair this signature Scottish skirt with a baseball cap and slouchy bomber jacket just to make you look sporty and laid-back in the most unexpected way.
Feeling vintage?
What about styling the dress with a retro graphic tee and perhaps draping a long trench coat over the shoulder?
Well, that may not be the most approachable look but it just screams FASHION DIVA immediately.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #7:
Whenever I feel bloated, I’ll always use a rubber band to loop through a button hole and around the button for a temporary fix to pants that are too tight!
8. WHEN IN DOUBT, WEAR SOCKS
If you adore artsy fashion, I’m pretty sure socks already play a major role in your ensemble.
And if you aren’t but want to unlock some new looks, feel free to expand your socks collection now.
After all, sometimes the difference between looking like a plain Jane and an IT girl is whether you wanna get experimental with a pair of black mesh knee-high socks or not.

9. WEAR A KILT IN MONOCHROME FOR A CLASSY LOOK
Saying the savior of petite girls, yup you guessed it, the monochrome style.
With a similar shade of hues, it just balances out your proportions and elongates your silhouette like wonders.
And the charm of the monotone ensemble is it just always looks so high fashion even if all your clothes are from H&M and Zara. (I mean it!)
A beige bootneck sweater with a preppy low-waist kilt and dark brown riding boots? It just looks unquestionably classy and poised.
