Answer 7

kilt is an unbifurcated traditional garment of Scottish, and by extension Celtic, culture that exists in various modern forms and forms inspired by the historical garment, including:

The modern form of the traditional Scottish garment (further defined below);

The historical form of this same Scottish garment (see History of the kilt);

The Irish kilt (see Irish kilt);

The Welsh kilt, or cilt (see Welsh Kilt and St David's Tartan);

The contemporary kilt, such as the Neo-Kilt or Utilikilt; and

Certain types of school uniform skirts for girls (see School uniforms)

Traditionalists emphasize that the plural of "kilt" is "the kilt" rather than "kilts", though the latter term has been used alongside the former and continues to gain acceptance in modern English.[citation needed]

The modern traditional kilt is typically seen at modern-day Highland games gatherings in Scotland and elsewhere throughout the world. Historical forms of the Scottish kilt have differed in several particulars (some quite substantial) from the modern-day version. Specifically, the organizations which sanction and grade the competitions in Highland dancing and bagpiping all have rules governing acceptable attire for the competitors. These rules specify that kilts are to be worn (except that in the national dances, the female competitors will be wearing the Aboyne dress). The word kilt as used in this article refers to those garments as typically seen in such competitions.

Depending on the occasion, a kilt is normally worn with accessories such as a belt, jacket, sporran (a type of pouch), special footwear, and – optionally – underwear. These are discussed in the separate article kilt accessories.
